To celebrate my 5 years of blogging with my readers, I picked 5 things that I absolutely love in my kitchen and give them to 5 readers (1 item per person)!
Here are my top 5 favorite items in the kitchen!
1. Instant Pot IP-DUO60 7-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker
You probably knew this was coming, didn’t you? Yes, I love Instant Pot that I can BOTH slow cook and pressure cook (brilliant, right?). I was lucky to receive this gift from the company, but I am NOT being sponsored by them to talk about their product at all on my blog.
I enjoy using it a couple of times a week, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to eat home cooked meal at the end of your busy day. If you don’t have enough time to stay around in the kitchen to prep and cook a meal, this is the perfect tool for you. I have several Instant Pot recipes on my blog, and will continue to add more!
2. Season with Spice Matcha Green Tea Powder and East Asian Spice Kit
As I mentioned before in this blog post, my friends at Season with Spice have an amazing collection of delicious spices I use daily. Their East Asian Spice Kit is a great starter kit for Asian cooking!
They also carry other culinary ingredients like Matcha Green Tea Powder. I really enjoy making Matcha Green Tea Latte (or Iced Green Tea Latte) using their refined green tea powder everyday.
A lot of my readers have become a big fan of their spices and recipes, so do check their site to browse more!
3. The Food Lab – Better Home Cooking Through Science by Kenji Lopez-Alt
I’ve been reading Kenji’s James Beard Award-nominated column The Food Lab on Serious Eats for sometime. So I was super excited about reading his first book, The Food Lab, which was published in fall 2015.
It’s a thick, heavy cookbook with collection of science-based tips, explanations, techniques, and recipes for the home cook. I’m still reading the beginning of this book, but so far I love it! If you ever wonder about all the science behind cooking, you will love this book!
4. GIR: Get It Right Ultimate Spatula (11″)
Have you broken a few spatulas in the past? I had, and I wish I bought this Get It Right’s silicone spatula long time ago. It comes in various colors and it’s very durable (yet flexible!). It makes your folding, mixing, scraping, and stirring job easier and fun! I love good utensils that I can trust!
5. Fox Run Stainless Steel Magic Whisk
Speaking of trustworthy utensils, I’ve been using this Fox Run Stainless steel Magic Whisk for YEARS and I’m still madly in love with it.
I love using this flat whisk for mixing eggs, sauces, or any ingredients that do not have enough depth for a regular big whisk to whisk in a mixing bowl. It’s simply great for any whisking job! The winner will receive 2 whisks.

Just as a note, I think I will only do 3 entries because I can’t really think of anything that I would like to see on your blog. You have developed on what you do through your blog very impressively and are very proactive with everything that goes around it. And for me, I’m still learning a lot about Japan that it’s slightly harder to say what I might want to learn more about from your country and culture 😉
Thank you for all your commitment! We all appreciate it!

Thank you for arranging such a lovely giveaway. For 2016, I would love if you are able to provide more information on wagashi. Most wagashi books are written in Japanese and not translated to English. There is also not much detailed information on the internet. Would love it if you can share more about this amazing Japanese confectionary artform!

Well done on your 5th year!
I receive your newsletter.
I really enjoy your video tutorials. :^.^:
I’d like to see:
1) more healthy versions of the fried food on your blog
2) move voice over on your videos
3) more of you in front of the video instead of just your hands! I enjoyed seeing you in giving little introduction and closing comments in your videos.

I enjoy your newsletters. Might I reccomend a trip to Western Japan on your next visit? The Shinkansen now goes directly to Itoigawa from Tokyo. It is a beautiful city nestled between the mountains and the Sea of Japan. The food is as delightful as it is diverse. The Geopark is als a great place to visit with kids!

This year, I would like to see more gluten free recipes! Thank you.
2) I’d like to see some of the gluten-free ideas you mentioned. The rice-based dishes (and soba, if you use 100% buckwheat noodles) have been a great start, but I was curious about the ideas you mentioned a few months back.
just subscribed to your you tube channel! good info and nice to see demos
4) I liked your page on Facebook (a while back now)
In 2016 I’d love to see more desserts to fulfill my sugar addiction XD
I’m particularly interested in traditional Japanese desserts (using matcha, anko, dango…) similar to the anmitsu or matcha zenzai you’ve already posted!
Already get your newsletter! (Though I kind of wish we didn’t have to, because I already read the posts on my feed reader & then also get an email about them)
I’d love to see more recipes using the Instapot!
Just added you on Instagram! I joined a few weeks ago & am surprised I hadn’t added you already.
Added you on Facebook
Oshizushi!:)
I am a subscriber to your newsletter. I love the recipes and the lessons on techniques 🙂
Thank you for a great 2015 of Japanese cooking. Dropping by to see your instructions for cooking rice in a rice cooker. Managed to bring one with me on my recent Japan trip.
I look forward to your emails and enjoy cooking the recipes you post. I especially enjoyed the pressure cooking recipes that help reduce the cooking time.
I love your website! I’ve made quite a few of your recipes and have greatly enjoyed them. I’ve been learning to cook Japanese food for a few years now and write a blog about my culinary journey, WashokuDay.com. I have recommended several of your recipes there. Everything I have made from your site comes out perfectly and is easy enough for every level! Thank you very much for all your hard work.
For 2016, I’m always on the lookout for side dishes!
I’ve liked your Facebook page!
I’ve followed you on Instagram!
Coming back from my honeymoon in Japan, I’ve recently become obsessed with packing bento boxes for my lunch, so I would like to see more bento box recipes! I am also vegan, and I really appreciate your vast amount of vegan friendly and vegan option recipes you post. Thanks so much! It’s made my withdrawal from Japan that much easier!
For 2016: Ideas on how to make bentos in combination with “leftovers” surplus of other meals. Or how to get bento variety with manageable effort. Or how long can bento ingredients be stored.
Problem (at least how my mindset is currently): it seems as though there is enormous prep time for a bento if I want more than three elements. It’s hard to justify it when only one person is eating and I don’t want to eat the same bento for three days.

Love your blog! The recipes are easy to follow because of your gorgeous photos and videos. Just wanted you to know that the hard work you put into this is appreciated.
I’m already a subscriber to your newsletter. Thank you for an awesome giveaway!
I find the true value of your blog is the techniques and nibbits of secrets to recipes imparted in your short videos. For example, I perfected my miso soup after watching your video! Who knew to boil the konbu for just a few minutes! Other recipes found instructions include boiling without warning not to boil it for very long!

I love finding new healthy recipes and new products I haven’t heard of before. Those are my most loves in your blog.
For 2016 I would like to know how to make something with sea grapes. I saw a friend in her video eating them in Okinawa and wondered if there is a simple dish to make with those?

Again Congratulations on 5 years. You are a great cook and an awesome mom. Here is to hoping many,many more years to come and maybe more of your kids helping you cook. I would like to know what their favorite things are to eat that you make for them ect.
Because then I would know more of what to make for my nieces and nephews. Arigato!
I would like to see… Well, every single recipe I was going to ask you to add is already here, so I will ask a quick question about the Mapo Tofu recipe that’s here. I heard from a Japanese acquaintance that the Chinese/Taiwanese version of this dish is different from the Japanese version, so I wondered which version your recipe is. If there is a true difference between the two, I’d like to see the other version added if possible, I really like the dish and I’d be curious to try both versions!

Hi Nami! I love all your recipes you’ve shared with us in the past. For 2016 I’d like to see more recipes that are really fast. Putting in a full day of work and then coming home to prepare dinner, a lot of people don’t have the time or energy for anything elaborate. So recipes that don’t need a ton of forethought/prepping but still are fast and delicious would be very welcome!
I love your recipes!

I would like to see low calorie versions and egg rolls
Hi Nami!
What I would really love to see on your blog is something like examples of what you typically make for a dinner at home. For example, what combination of dishes do you make? Sometimes it’s difficult to think of what dishes to put together, so that would be really helpful!
Also, this might be a separate or additional thing, but it would also be great to know in what order you do things when you’re making the whole meal. For example, first you marinate the meat for Dish 1 and set it aside, then you chop the vegetables for Dish 2, etc. etc. That might be a lot of work to think about, so no pressure! But as a new parent I am working on increasing my speed in the kitchen, and I think your techniques would be really helpful! 🙂
Thanks as always for the amazing blog! It is always my first go-to place when I’m thinking of what to make for dinner. 🙂

I really appreciate reading your recipes and watching your videos. I found you accidentally when I was looking for a Korean bingsoo recipe. I’d like to see you publish the Japanese version. I’d also like to learn about a hand-held ice shaver that I saw on the internet. I think it was a Zojirushi one, but I cannot find it on the Zojirushi site. Thanks for your blog!!!
I love your videos. They are so informative and show step-by-step process how to cook a specific dish. My only suggestion would be for you to choose your favorite or fan favorite recipe of 2015 (or whatever the last year was) and post that in January. You know, the most requested recipe is…That sort of thing. Thanks for everything you do and yes, You have a lovely smile.
Could you please show us more salad dressings? And more recipes using Tamari ???? thank you!
I’m subscribed to your newsletter already and I would love to see something I remember from my childhood…I don’t remember the name but I used to snack on soft mochi that was covered in kinako powder but then it came with a sweet dark brown dipping sauce. I loved that sauce though I don’t remember the name. Perhaps you would know what that is? It made the soft mochi with kinako even better! 🙂

I am very American and love the food so I have decided to start cooking it and I don’t really know what the essentials are or maybe some replacements for a certain ingredient.
Hi! I’ve just discover you and you’re website and I’m extremely happy! The recipes are simple and interesting, the photos are beautiful and I love the bowls, the dishes and the fabrics you use!

I would like to see some recipes I can make then take with me. I have tried dehydrating some things to make them more portable, with varying results. Elaborate recipes are nice for home but it would be nice to have something homemade to take with me, for when I can’t prep all that and still want some great Asian food.
I”d like to see more simple and easy meals for busy moms in future. I’m your YT scribber and followed you on Facebook and Instagram. Thank you for your awesome tutorials and beautiful pictures that you share!????
I would love to get more of simple recipes with less 5-6 ingredients that I can try during weekdays!

I subscribed to th newsletter a couple months back when I found your recipe for the steamed matcha cakes… I’d been looking for a recipe for those on and off for a while as I have missed Japanese treats ever since moving away from the San Francisco area.
In 2016 it would be great to see more of the festival street food sort of recipes like okonomiyaki which I think you have done before but possibly done for a vegetarian audience. I love takoyaki and it would be brilliant to see a vege version.
I would also enjoy some coverage of bento as I want a more diverse lunch choice. Anyhow I have been loving the newsletter…
Thanks so much… Makes me want to being learning Japanese again …

Thanks for being so generous in doing this giveaway besides sharing so many delicious and detailed recipes!
What I would like to see in your blog in 2016 is recipes which uses hojicha. I like hojicha but I’ve not seen any recipes using it anywhere. Besides using it as a drink, maybe other ways to use it like in desserts.
I’ve subscribed and left a comment in your blog, subscribed to your YouTube channel and left a new comment (aibadotcom is my username), liked your Facebook page and left a new comment (Jessica Au is my name on FB) and told you what I would like to see in your blog in 2016.

I have only recently started following you, but within the last week, I have watched all your videos on your Facebook page, made 4 of your dishes, and your cooking has come up in nearly all my catch up conversations with my friends. My boyfriend is also probably sick of being shown amazing Asian food videos hahahaha. Keep doing what you’re doing 😉 xoxo

Hi, I’m also a follower on your instagram! I love your recipes and also instagram them on my account 🙂
In the coming year I would like to see more traditional home Japanese recipes; I also think it would be nice to know what kind of meal the dish is served in–like, is it part of a traditional “ichiju-sansai” meal, or is it served without all the side dishes?
Don’t change it too much though because your blog is wonderful already!

I would love to see some healthier Japanese food options
Hi! I have subscribed to your newsletter!
I’ve subscribed for your newsletter. Thank you for the wonderful recipes all the time.
For this year if like to see more one pot/pan meals as well as sushi, I could’ve missed it but I like seeing sushi being made. Also if you ever seen the sashimi that’s made up of salmon and tuna in a square checkerboard I’d love to see how I can make it! And recipes for sugar cane. I already did all the subscriptions besides instagram since I don’t have one. Keep making fabulous food!
I subscribe to the newsletter. Thank you for all the heart warming posts. 5 or less ingredients recipes? Thanks!
I would love to see you do a weekly menu plan or monthly menu plan with mainly Japanese recipes with main dish, side dishes, and soup options. As I live in Japan now, I find it is hard to find any menu planning sites written in English, with Japanese menu selection. It’s not so economical to do menu planning with non-Japanese ingredients 🙁 I would even pay for something like this!! 🙂 Also, maybe suggesting what you can make at the beginning of the week and change up if there are leftovers for the next day or later in the week. You would be a lifesaver to moms with little ones!!
And I’m probably asking for too much, but also seasonal foods/dishes included in the meal planning! 😀
I have already subscribe your newsletter. Thanks.
I subscribed to your youtube channel!
Actually, can you post something about shiratama dango? I know how to make the dango itself but not the sauce. It’s a simple recipe but I’m just unsure of what else there is apart from sugar.
I would like see more in how to make different kiind of Japanese bento for kid to bring to school.

Just One Cookbook is my go-to source for Jpn recipes and cooking methods.
a neighbor made me a banana muffin or cake from your recipe. Being Asian Chinese, I don’t eat much sweet, let alone American desserts. But when I ate a piece of your banana muffin, I loved loved loved how you put pieces of banana on top, and less sugar, I could taste the real banana. Oh I just loved it. I hope I will see more Asian/Japan dessert, especially if you can make anything with Mocha (green tea).
I cook for family everyday at least once a day but I hardly cook them dessert. I can cook anything without recipe but I can not make a simple dessert. I hope I can learn some simple dessert recipes from your blog. I am signing up now. I AM VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!
Hi Naomi,
I’ve read your blog for at least 2 years (I think)! It has always been so reliable, and so detailed documented with beautiful videos & photos. I tried so many recipes from the site and never failed. Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes!
I’m from Taiwan but lives in US, grew up eating lots of Japanese food (My grandma was a cook who worked in Japan) so I feel especially homesick in a lot of stuff you made!
I’d love to see more recipe that’s tie in with meal planning/grocery trip for a week/bento making. but it’s already good!
Also followed you on youtube, facebook.
Thanks and 加油 頑張って！

(Ticket 1) I’d love to find a recipe for senbei (soy sauce) on your blog! It’s so difficult to make them and they never taste like they should whenever I make them, no matter what variations I try! So it’d be great if you could offer some insights! ^^
Besides that, thank you for all your hard work with the recipes you’ve already blogged until now! Love them!

YAY so exciting to see another giveaway. I am subscribed to your newsletter. Thanks Nami!
For 2016, I would love if you could put or show a few dishes that uses common ingredients so that when we try to make one dish, we know what to do with the other left over ingredients. Not sure if this makes complete sense, but for example, if you pull a full daikon, sometimes the receipe wont use the entire daikon. Could you suggest another dish that can complement the original so that we wouldnt waste some daikon? Hope that makes some sense :] (ticket 2)

I can’t think of any new recipes that you don’t already have, but it might be nice to have a seasonal filter. For example on a hot summer day people may not think to look at noodles for a cold soba or hiyashichuuka for a nice cool and refreshing meal. Just a suggestion 🙂
My new years resolution is to cook more of your recipes and share it with friends and family! Thanks for sharing all of your delicious food!

I’d like to see more baked goods. I tried a coconut butter mochi cake at a Japanese restaurant that was so yummy. I think it may be a Hawaiian dessert, but can’t seem to find a good recipe anywhere. It was castella-shaped; perhaps you can whip something up like it?

I’m not sure if I just didn’t find this, but is there a chance that you can make a blogpost/ video about the basics of a bamboo-steamer? I bought one not long ago, because I wanted to make dumplings, but now I wonder: do I have to pre-steam it for cleaning, how do I know the food is done and what to do with the steamer after cooking? Maybe these are stupid questions and I’m sorry for them, but I really want to know more about how to handle a bamboo-steamer 🙂
I would love to see a blog post on Japanese parfait in 2016! 🙂

In 2016 it would be great to see more instant pot receipes. I know you said you can use it as a slow cooker but maybe you can share some recipes on how to use the instant pot for that purpose as well? I would also just love more instant pot recipes in general.

Hi Nami, when I studied in Japan my host mom made this mushroom rice that was really tasty. Do you have a recipe for a mushroom rice? Thanks!
In 2016, I’d like to see guides on how to choose Japanese ingredients, such as noodles, soy sauces, and miso. My Japanese store sells a variety of these items, and I’m not sure how to choose them, or how to read the labels. A guide with pictures would be really helpful!

Hi Nami. I subscribed to your newsletter some time ago. But I’ll let you know what I would like to see you blog about this year:
I really enjoyed your blogs when you were in Japan last year. Your Kanazawa blog made me go back there last year to try the things I missed when I visited in 2014! (The gold leaf ice cream was one thing I tried, thanks to you!)
Also, thank you for taking the time to message me while I was in Kanazawa and seeking some advice!
I would love to see you travel to Japan again so I can enjoy your enthusiastic writing style and your eye for photography! If possible, can you visit the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku sometime? I’d love to know what you make of that! Haha! (Please don’t try the food there, though, as I’ve heard from both foreigners and Japanese that it’s quite disappointing. It’s a tiny bento.)
Wishing you a great 2016 and more success with your ventures. Thank you for making cooking look so interesting to somebody who wasn’t that interested in cooking before. Japanese food is so beautiful. 🙂
Would like to see more slow cooker recipes and easy 30 minute meals for people with a busy work life! Thanks Nami! 🙂
Love your blog and your recipes!
Love your blog and your recipes! And I’m a subscriber to your newsletter.
Just discovered your blog! So excited to plow through your recipes and tutorials!!!
Hi Nami!
Congrats on 5 years!
I was wondering if you had a recipe for “butter croquette.” I bought these at a food festival at Mitsuwa a while back, and basically it was just potato and butter. However, I can’t duplicate it 🙁 I’m sure I’m missing something. Maybe there’s something you can create?
Thank you!

I really like your blog the way it is and wouldn’t change a thing!

I think I would like to see what can be done with more western ingredients using traditional Japanese methods.

For 2016, would love to see more Japanese “home cooking” type recipes. Those are the ones of yours that I make the most and that my family likes the best. Maybe also how and when you involve your children in the kitchen? Mine loves to help but I worry about him getting burned or making a huge mess.

Forgot to mention, for 2016, can you post a recipe for Cheese tarts? I know you posted one awhile ago that used melted brie and preserves. But I’m hoping for a recipe that resembles the cheese tarts from the store Bake. I tried it when I visited Tokyo recently and it’s super creamy and fluffy. I’d be great if I can learn to make it! Thanks and all the best in 2016!

I just found out you have a newsletter! So I’m already a winner! Ahahaha anyways, this year, I’d really love some college friendly recipes. Just one or two things that can be made with cheap ingredients found at most American grocery stores, and with minimal equipment. Also, thank you so much for introducing me to the Instant Pot! I was pinching pennies for a Zojirushi, but I’ll be getting an Instant here pretty soon now. Keep up the great work Mrs. Nami, this is one of my favorite blogs and really looking forward to a great year with even greater recipes.
Disclaimer: My desire for things I really want that I don’t have to pay for as a broke college student was not the motivation for the things said in the above comment. But I’m still a broke college student with a strong desire for useful things I don’t have to pay for.

What I'd like to see in 2016? I don't know, since you've covered all of the Japanese foods I remember growing up with but whatever future recipes you post I will be looking forward to all of them. ^^

I would love to see more of the “healthy-ish” versions of dishes that normally would be fried. Don’t get me wrong, I love fried food as much as the next person but my kitchen is too small for me to have all the cooking options I would like. Katsu and Tonkatsu made in the oven have turned into favorite go-to recipes for me.
I also love seeing lunch box ideas so the more of those that make it onto the blog, the better 🙂
With that being said, I love nearly everything I see on the site, whether I would make and eat it or not. Generally it is all beautiful to look at and see how it is made.

Hi, I love this blog, because I love Japanese cuisine, so I am super happy I found this! 🙂
I myself have the Instant Pot and I agree it’s great to have around the kitchen, I have never used a pressure cooker before and I feel like I’ve been missing out!
I think it would be great if in 2016 you can add more recipes that use the Instant Pot. The idea that you can put all your ingredients in one device and leave unattended until lunch/dinner is ready will appeal to many people. Most Instant Pot recipes on the internet right now are for soups/stews/braised meats. I would love to see some Japanese or Japanese inspired recipes that make use of the device.
Looking forward to more recipes from you in 2016! 🙂
PS. if I am so lucky as to be selected, I would love The Food Lab. It is very expensive to purchase in Canada and I would love a copy!!!

I have subscribed to your newsletter and other social networks. Congratulations on five years of success! I found out about your blog last year and I love all your recipes, some are easy and simple. I think you bring the best of Japanese food culture where in my country there’s not much Japanese food. So I was glad when I found this blog!
I would love to see more recipes on Japanese confectioneries! Good day to you~

I just returned from Japan and found your blog when I was looking for information on recreating some of the delicious recipes I tried in Japan. I’m mostly vegetarian and loved the Japanese sweets, so any recipes related to those two topics would be great in 2016. Thanks!

Hi Nami,
Congratulations! Here is my entry, wish everybody good luck!
Some suggestions for blog:
1) A little history lesson to introduce each type of Japanese food.
2) Some more facts about how something is made (for example, miso/tofu etc.)
3) Behind the scenes tips on food photography

Hi nami! A quick idea for this year, how about to include ingredients from other countries into existing recepies… For example certain vegetables or spices and maybe once a month could be a specific country and people from that country can also share ideas in the comments section ???? Thanks for all your recepies they are really amazing!
I am a subscriber. Happy 5th year blog anniversary.
