Categorised in: | Link of this article

Kuri Gohan (栗ごはん) is an indispensable taste on Japanese tables in autumn. My family and I look forward to eating delicious chestnut rice made at home, as it is only available at this time of the year. It is hard work to peel the chestnuts, but I feel that the taste is exceptional because of the hard work. Our family style is to mix normal Japanese rice with glutinous rice called “Mochi-gome” and enjoy the slightly sticky texture.

Categorised in: | Link of this article

Tonjiru (豚汁) is one of the comfort food here in Japan. TON means “Pork” and JIRU (shiru) means “Soup”. This soup has a rich and mild flavor from pork and lots of vegetables.

Categorised in: | Link of this article

Simmered Kiriobshi Daikon (Simmered dried daikon strips) is a traditional Japanese side dish perfect for Japanese breakfast and Bento. Kiriboshi Daikon provides more nutrients than fresh daikon radish because the sun-drying process concentrates umami and nutrients and increases the content of calcium, iron, and B vitamins. It is also high in insoluble dietary fiber, making it a recommended food for people suffering from constipation, for example. This is also a Plant-based, Vegan & Gluten-free Japanese recipe.

Nikujaga is known as an important Japanese home meal. “Niku” means meat (and it’s usually Japanese beef for this dish) and “Jaga(-imo)” means potato.
