An important spring event is the Dolls’ Festival called “Hinamatsuri”. For the Dolls’ Festival, people usually eat Chirashi-zushi, a sushi dish made with fresh seafood and other ingredients. However, it is a little difficult for children to eat, so I made cup sushi using ingredients that are fun to look at and easy for children to eat.
When you want a quick, tasty, and hearty meat dish, I recommend this Miso Mayo Chicken. It’s time to let the miso that’s been sitting in the fridge come to life. It is really easy to make! All you have to do is mix miso with mayonnaise, let the chicken soak up the flavor, and cook it in a frying pan.
In this video, I present a ranking of the BEST 5 most popular sushi among Japanese children here in Japan. What are the selected five sushi?
Miso (味噌) is one of the key ingredients in Japanese cuisine and is a fermented paste, which is made from soybeans and sea salt combined with koji (麹, a type of mold starter). This recipe makes a basic miso using only soybeans, Koji and Salt. But it is also fun to think about the daily fermentation process.

Eggplant is a vegetable that can be liked or disliked if not cooked well. Nasunin, the pigment in the skin, is a type of polyphenol that has antioxidant properties and helps prevent lifestyle-related diseases.

November 15 is Shichi-go-san (7-5-3). It is a day to give thanks for health and pray for guardian gods for the future happiness of three and five-year-old boys, and three and seven-year old girls.
In the old days, the mortality rates of young children being so high, children were thought to belong to the gods until the age of seven. A child younger than seven years old was not considered a full-fledged member of society. They were not punished for their sins and did not have to mourn. The Shichi-go-san festival was an important event to mark turning points during infancy, and to show one had become a member of society.
