Tai-somen; Sea Bream Thin Noodles class !!

This dish is a special local cuisine served at celebrations in the Seto Inland Sea coastal area of Japan. 

In Hiroshima, where my parents are, from ancient times, it was often used at weddings and events that match the growth of children. 

There is also “Tai Somen” which means Seabream noodles description in a book from the Edo period.

The recipe of sea bream thin noodles has its own way to cook depending

on the area, and family. 

This is based on my mother’s recipe.

She used to serve a large simmered sea bream with Somen noodles on a platter at the end of the meal when people visited us. When they saw it, they were amazed and pleased.

After that, the hostess served the dish on each person’s plate with the broth.

If it’s difficult to find a sea bream, choose a delicious white fish fillet from your country that you can remove the bones easily.

Why don’t you make a gorgeous and delicious sea bream Somen with me?

≪Basics of Japanese cuisine and Takikomi Gohan !!≫ class

In this class, I would like to make the Japanese basic soup stock. It is used for delicious cooked rice, miso soup and other small dishes.
Takikomi Gohan is steamed rice made from several kinds of ingredients such as seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, meat, and fish. It is cooked sweet and salty using fermented seasoning such as soy sauce, miso, etc.
Some people living abroad often say that Japanese cooked rice has no taste, but there is a delicious rice dish with such wonderful aroma in Japan!
Moreover, it is very easy to make. Even those who are new to cooking can easily make this delicious rice dish that will make you feel at home.
This is the best menu that eliminates the malnutrition to have after eating some small dishes which go well with good Japanese sake.

Let’s enjoy making a well-balanced and healthy Japanese cuisine!

≪The dishes that go well with SAKE ≫ class

     

In this class, we make dishes that go well with sake. These are very easy to make. You can enjoy sake tasting with my family.

You know that sake has become popular all over the world now. Some delicious sake can be bought overseas nowadays and there are even some people  living in other countries who are trying to make sake.  

But do you know what kind of dishes go along with sake and make sake even more delicious?

Sake is a fermented food , just like wine, cheese and most seasonings in Japan, so if you drink it with dishes that use fermented foods, the synergistic effect of umami will make the sake even more delicious. I would like to introduce you to dishes that are easy to make using fermented foods that are delicious and are good for your health.

Since our classes will be online for a while, if it is hard to get sake, I would like to show what other alcohol goes well with our dishes.

Of course, when you come to Japan, please try a combination with the sake recommended by my family.

I would like you to have a blissful time and make sure this will be an unforgettable memory for you that you will always cherish for the rest your life.

Now, let's make dishes that go well sake and let's toast together!!

Japanese dashi mild vegetable curry

This  is a very mild wafu dashi curry  and can be eaten by children to adults. And also you can intake a lot of  vegetables. It is more like a sauce that goes with Japanese steamed rice. Surprisingly, it isn't well known although curry is one of the national dishes in Japan. First, I make dashi soup stock which is made from Konbu and katsuobushi called Wafu dashi. This soup stock (dashi soup) is very convenient. You can use it for miso soup,  and etc. You can use it to make curry and also make any kinds of curry like meat, seafood or what ever you like. You can also adjust the hot flavors too. I hope you have fun cooking with me this dish.

Miso Activity at Home “Nagoya-Meshi”

Nagoya-Meshi is a Variety of dishes unique to Nagoya that have been widely popular in the neighboring areas of Aichi. One of the characteristics of Nagoya-Meshi is the use of miso. Traditional miso in Aichi is called `Akadashi` or `Hacchomiso` and is made from soybean and salt. The color is very very dark compared to other areas, but the salt concentration is lower. So it's healthy and can be arranged in various ways. Try cooking different local specialities of Nagoya that can be found nowhere else in Japan.
In my class, I'll introduce various Nagoya-Meshi that you can cook at home using miso. It's easy so you don't need to worry about the level of your cooking skill. The important thing is to relax and enjoy yourself!
