Happy New Year Nami! Can’t wait to see what you’re cooking up in 2017!

I love watching your videos and seeing your insta pictures!

Awesome news that you will be recreating recipes from Midnight Diner. Have you seen the film “Little Forest” with Ai Hashimoto? It’s a 2 part film that includes tons of cooking.

I enjoy your step-by-step pictures a lot, because I think they’re super helpful! But, I totally understand the extra work it takes Mr. JOC, and why you’re doing less. I also enjoy the videos, too, probably more so than the pics. Here’s a big thanks to Mr. JOC!

I already “like” JOC on FB!

So thrilled you have an online presence on Facebook. Your frequent content posts give me weekend inspiration!

Only recently subcribed but I am addicted to your blog. I cant wait to come home everyday to check on facebook for your new posting. I have been inspired to cook by many many of your recipes. Thank you!

Liked your Facebook page.

I love all your beautiful food photography you post on your instagram account. For some reason, I had not made that type of connection with you as of yet.

What is also nice is that your content is different from your Facebook account! You’re very talented and busy!

Cheers!!!

Congratulations for your 7th year!
I didn’t expect this blog to be that old… Since I think I’ve been following it for maybe 3 years or less.

Also I’m happy about the Midnight diner! I’ve loved watching that mini series and I remember checking the Internet to try fining some good recipe to make them. So I’m totally looking forward to it!

Hi Nami. CONGRATULATIONS on your 6th year blog anniversary. I can’ wait to see your new blog this year. I am looking forward to your Q&A session too ????

The midnight diner series are fun to watch!

I love that you’re true to your Japanese roots and yet adapt it to the American palate. Thank you. Itadakimasu!

Thanks again for hosting this giveaway! I DIE (from hunger!) every time I get a new newsletter in my email! While I’ve been a subscriber/facebook follower for a while, I’ve only recently started following you on youtube and instagram! Keep posting those beautiful recipes for us to cook- and those master dishes that make me jealous due to either lack of skill, or an abundance of geographic distance! Love y’all~ #CrabOfTheDay Adam!

Love to hear that there’s another giveaway around the corner! Also, Iove to hear that you are going to update your favorite tool page! I always love reading your blog and very keen to know what kind of utensilsr gadgets you use ????

Feedback: I’ve been using a few of your recipes and they turned out great! The recent one I used was last night with the green tea chiffon cake recipe. Since I don’t have a chiffon cake pan I’ve doubled the recipe with my 23″ regular cake pan, I’ve made with both green tea and black sesame version and they turned out really fluffy! Thank for your recipe that saved my many meals!

Such simple delicious recipes, thank you Nami!!!

You and Mr JOC are amazing! I can’t begin to imagine the amount of time and effort that goes into maintaining a great blog like yours. I’m a big supporter and am so glad I stumbled upon your channel a year or so ago. Best wishes for the next lap of your food adventures!

And for the feedback: I love your recipes but I would definitely love you to do up the recipe for the Taiwanese Pineapple Cake! I only tried one from オークラ and cannot get it in Australia so would love to try to make one…. if I can… so please do the recipe for the Taiwanese Pineapple Cake!

I recently joined, and I have made at least 10 different recipes that have all been great. Last night I made the ginger rice with miso tofu (I am vegetarian so I substituted the salmon with tofu) and the whole family loved it. Thanks for all your work!

Dear Nami-san,

All the best to you and your blog in 2017!

Your blog and recipes bring back the wonderful feeling that I had while living in Japan so many years ago. It is such a treat to be able to recreate the wonderful dishes I so enjoyed in my stay there. Everyone of the recipes that I have cooked has been wonderful.

Lots of good recipes as always. Last weekend I’ve prepared the grilled miso chicken. Total succes. Now let’s win this giveawy!
Have a great week

Subscribe to the newsletters always.

Nami, I love the Midnight Diner series! There is a pork dish in the Netflix version which I would love to learn! I don’t remember its name but I do remember the story was about a girl who knits sweaters for the boy she was interested in.

I am looking forward to our cooking more with you this year. ????

Congratulations ! I simply love your blog and recipes as they are easy to follow.

Congratulations on six years of the blog! I like the changes you’ll be making.

Thank you for constantly innovating! I look forward to all the improvements on your website! 🙂

Can’t believe it’s already 6 years. Congrats! Although I think I’ve only gotten started reading & cooking using your recipes in the last 2-3 years, I wish you many more years of successful blog writing!

Followed you on Instagram.

Your recipes are always so simple and delicious. Thanks for posting them. I always look forward to your next newsletter.

Feedback: I think it’s good that you get a shop page since I and probably many others are interested in the tools you use

Hi I have subscribed to JOC and love it!

Dear Nami, I do love japanese cuisine and your recipes. So I would really appreciate to have your cookbook in a paper version…maybe once. 🙂 I’m always excited about your new videos. Keep going!!

Best greetings from Germany,

Luise

Love the recipes you have shared. Thank you!

I really like Japanese cuisine.I am so glad that you turn these authentic recipes into English, therefore I can learn something new. thank you.

I loved your post and all those beautiful pictures.

Your oxtail soup recipe attracted me to your blog. I have been using oxtails in place of beef soup bones for decades and I might suggest that chilling the liquid after pressure cooking the oxtails then skimming the fat eliminates the need for store bought beef broth.

I’ve been following your blog and newsletter for about six months. I’ve incorporated a number of recipes into the “daily routine,” and my family loves it! I look forward to seeing your blog and recipe upgrades.

Thank you for another great giveaway!

Love your recipes. Just like my mom.

Love your recipes which makes it easy to cook for my family 🙂

Hi Nami

Enjoy your family and travel photos on instagram

I have been following all your blogs, it was a treat to see you in You tube with miss Seongyoung Longest.

Your Japanese cheesecake recipe is the only one I ever use – My family absolutely adores it (though we prefer it without the addition of lemon)!

Your changes sound good. Sometimes, after I look at your recipe posts and I want to make it, I just want to scroll down and just see the recipe ingredients so I can proceed. Love the lemon chiffon video. Watched it last night. You make making a chiffon cake look so easy. 🙂

I subscribe to your newsletter.

I love the recipes on here – there is always something new and exciting to try. Very clear directions are given which help so much in unfamiliar dishes. Many thanks!

I also love the one minute videos from Instagram and think they are helpful in many ways. I would appreciate if you try!
Keep up the awesome blog and I’ll keep following you! Xoxo, Denise

Hi Nami! First of all, let me say that I’ve been following your recipes for the past year and a half, and it’s been really amazing learning about Japanese cooking from you. I find your instructions very easy to follow, and although the photos do help (I love step-by-step photos), I actually tend to “follow” your recipe videos as I cook/bake and pause when I need to. Your website is quite easy to navigate in my opinion, and I feel that it does not need many improvements (I do not go on the shop page often, so I haven’t seen it until now!). I look forward to your top-down videos; I believe they will add variety to your videos! Finally, thank you for sharing your recipes, knowledge, and food adventures with us!!

I’m excited to see even more recipes, and super excited to see revamps of some favorites.

I love the sound of your new changes and look forward to reading your blog in its new format! Thank you for taking the time to take your readers’ feedback into account and making continuous improvements.

I just recently subscribed to the newsletter, but your website has been my go-to recipe site for years!

I liked your Facebook page.

Midnight Diner….Saw that a while ago…(Dramafever) and loved it…the music got to me and when saw the last episode i was nice to see the musicians who made the music…!!! I did see that it’s on nexflixs and I may revisit it again. The only recipe I duplicated from the show was the buttered rice bowl ha ha. It would be interesting to see the shows recipe available

Hi! I love all your recipes especially the desserts!

awesome recipes, I already tried a lot of it and it is always turns out great

I made your Shrimp Fried Rice last night. I had never made fluffy egg that way before. I usually would just make a well in the middle of the rice and scramble the egg at the end before serving. Your way was much better. Delicious!

Love your food and I appreciate you taking time to show these wonderful recipes!

I discovered you by seeing your video for mochi on facebook. I am a Californian of Japanese descent, and have always eaten mochi, but I never knew how it was made. My mom always just had store bought mochi. The video was fascinating to me!

Omedetou!! Congrats on 6 years of blogging JOC!
I very much enjoy reading the blog, seeing the pics and the recipes come together, and tryingthem out myself. We made the toffee this year at Christmas but tweaked the recipie to have crushed up candy canes and white chocolate on top, along with the walnuts, and it was a big hit!
I also recently watched Midnight Diner on Netflix- my husband and I enjoyed it very much, and really hope they do a Season 2. It looks like it’s filmed in Shomben Yokocho (which we had the opportunity to go to last trip we made to Japan).

your recipes always looks so appetizing!

One bit of feedback is, sometimes in your recipes you mention putting it in the oven and temperature, but not what method of cooking (fan-forced, top and bottom elements, fan-forced and griller, etc.) so sometimes it’s meant we have to do some trial and error until we can find the right mode and temperature for our oven. Also, if your oven is a gas vs electric, it changes things :/ Hope that helps!

I’m already subscribed to your YouTube channel too 🙂

Congratulations! It’s been fun following your blog and social media pages! I really like how you introduce recipes in a very clear and straight forward manner, For me, I would definitely like to see more blogs about Japanese food cultures, such as the cultural background behind specific foods, the special occasions when Japanese eat the food, or even how the food evolved over time. I especially like your recipes on comparing okonomiyakis, new year recipes like ozoni, origins of foods like the one about anpan, since they are super informative and interesting to read!

Also, I share the same love for Japanese dinnerware/tableware, and I adore your taste for picking the right serving plates for different dishes. It’ll be great to see a blog showcasing your dinnerware, some short introductions or origins or these different dinnerware, and how you mix and match to give the best photoshoot.

I like how you accommodate for the American audience, but I would also love to see more recipes on traditional, wholesome Japanese food! Keep up the good work!

Love your recipes.

Congrats on your 6 year anniversary! Looking forward to your first Q&A session.

Dear Nami-san,

Thank you for the new instant pot recipe! I was requesting more and a few days later I saw it! I can’t wait to try it out especially in this cold weather. The braised short ribs IP recipe has so far been the winner. My other favorite are your nimono recipes. Once the weather gets warmer, I’ll start studying your spring and summer dishes 🙂

Thanks you and congratulations

Congratulations on six years. I have love your blog for a few of them Thank you for your beautiful presentation of your recipes.

Hi Nami, and (late) Happy Birthday wishes to JOC blogging! The website has become of my favourite and, to be honest, most visited food blog ever. There are a number of reasons why I love yours in particular:

1. You have a very good food blog with very good videos (thank you for all the effort Mr. JOC). If I want to try out a recipe that I’m less familiar with, I usually check out the video rather than the pictures as they can show more about a particular procedure/technique;
2. The website is very simple to navigate around whenever I search for recipes;
3. You post interesting stories about your culture whenever you return to Japan or tell the story to your recipes. I really think it’s important to reflect on the culture of the food on how it came around and how it’s often made.
4. To add on point 3, your travel posts are very exciting to read about, particular since I’m really interested about East Asian cultures – Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, etc. Often I wish I was right there to discover it with my own eyes – I’m still hoping that I get to see Japan, and there are plans to go there in terms of work. (I’m currently set to go to Taiwan for a long time – if you have any recommendations, please let me know 🙂 );
5. I’m very impressed about JOC. It has taught me a lot about what food blogging is like, and that it’s by no means simple. I’m still hoping that someday I can share my kitchen experiments and experience with the world, as well as have an accessible website to look up my recipes regardless on wherever I am or anyone else is. I just need the timing and know that I can commit to it effectively;
6. Last, but certainly not least, you stand out very much to other food bloggers that I follow because you communicate with all of us very well. This actually surprised the first time I posted a message to give my feedback on your chicken meatballs. The fact that you communicated with me at that point triggered this immediate liking to you and the blog, which followed on trying more recipes and responding with feedback. Before I knew it I was really embracing myself with Asian Cuisine and cooking it always fresh in the kitchen – there is no week where there’s no asian food. At least 2 times a week there must be asian food. So thanks to your communication with all of us, me and certainly everyone else owes you a great gratitude for engaging us with JOC and embracing this part of your way of life.

We wish you onwards always the best and all the support whenever you need it. You really deserve it all!

I really, really like your Facebook page and communicating with you!

I’m subscribed to your YouTube channel. Thank you, particular to Mr. JOC for his dedication and commitment in making the videos. He’s really turned that leisure into an interesting part-time profession!

6 years is a long time of creativity, dedication, diligence and faith. I wish you many more years of success in the future!

Leaving my first comment 😀

Félicitations pour votre superbe blog qui donne vraiment envie.

Hi, Nami! Congratulations on six years of blogging! I’m really looking forward to your new super easy recipes without pictures. I love Japanese food, but cooking it is sometimes too much for me because it can get so complicated. I’m disabled and recipes that are easy enough to make without pictures for guidance sound like they’re right up my alley! I can’t wait! I hope your blog continues on as long as you’re willing to share your wonderful cooking with us!

What a cool giveaway! I can’t thank you enough for helping me hone my Japanese cooking skills. Your careful instructions and photos, helped me produce a Nikujaga that my Japanese future husband says looks and tastes exactly like his mother’s version!

Ticket#2!
We’ve recently gone vegetarian and while I’ve been able to substitute many recipes on my own… I would love to see more vegetarian dishes here! Specifically, Japanese Buddhist cuisine! 😀

I love your blog and YouTube channel. I’ve already made several of your recipes. Your miso ramen is the one my son goes to often when cooks for himself and his girlfriend.

Hi Nami,
I had just added you to my instagram. 🙂

Thank you for the effort to put up the step-by-step videos on youtube. It help me to understand the steps more clearly.

I’m subscribed to your newsletter!

I liked your facebook page!

You’ve been posting a lot of recipes that required specific ingredients or kitchen appliances lately. I don’t have a pressure cooker, and my local Asian market has about one shelve of Japanese product, so I hope you’ll also post more recipes that are authentic and possible for me to make. Your blog is my to-go website when I want to make something Japanese, and I hope it’ll stay that way!

Other than that… I love veggies, so many some nice side dishes involving them? And maybe some suggestions for serving? Often I don’t really know which side and main dishes would fit well together, so I just do whatever. 🙂

Love your blog, been following for years!

Love your blog! Just tried couple of them, AMAZING!!

Your blog and videos have helped me so much, being an American living in Japan. Can’t thank you enough! I’m subscribed to all these!

Lol, I did go “Noooo” when I read there won’t be step-by-step recipes but was happy when you said it’s only for the simple recipes 😀 I love your blog, Nami, it’s my go-to whenever I don’t know what to cook for my family! Keep it up!

Thank for your wonderful recipes, I always enjoy them, I just subscribed to the newsletter.

I have subscribed to your youtube channel for quite some time but haven’t got a chance to check it out because your recipes all always so precise and detailed with pictures to show each step so there wasn’t a need to watch the videos. ????

But I will take a look when I have the time. ????

The midnight diners on Netflex looks interesting. Going to see if I can find the link to watch it. Thanks for sharing. It made me wanna make a trip to Japan even more now.

Happy 6th anniversary! Thank you for the hard work you put into JOC! Always enjoy reading your blog and watching your videos. Looking forward to another year full of inspirations!
