I love reading your blog because of all the yummilicious pics!!! 🙂 I really love Japanese food and try to cook it now and then at home on my own (since I am now living in Europe for the past years so it’s hard to get good Japanese food outside as compared to back home in Singapore) so I’ll be definitely looking to your recipes and videos! 🙂 Thank you for your beautiful blog and this generous giveaway!

    Hello, Nami. Greetings from Colombia, in South America. I have always been drawn towards Japan and Japanese culture. Today I am 52; when I was a child, my goal in life was to go to Japan before I became 40. I had the fortune to visit Japan when I was just 20. I went to Ishinomaki, Sanuma, Kesennuma, Ooshima, Sendai, Tokio, and many other places. I was so lucky! I also like to cook, and looking for tempura recipes, I found your newsletter. I love your recipes, and have tried several of them. They are very clear to follow, so I really thank you for your newsletter and your dedication. Congratulations on your anniversary. I wish you and your family all the best. どうもありがとうございました。

I have also recommended your site to my friends and they love it too.

    Hello Nami,

    When I lived in Japan my Japanese roommate used to make this one fish dish that was really tasty. I can’t tell you what fish she used because I forgot but what made it so tasty was this miso based coating which she covered the fish in. Do you know the recipe?

    Nami: Yours is a success story based on hard work and a passionate love of cooking.
    I think you are great and do a great job, even with two beautiful children – you involve
    the whole family in your work. Mr. JOC has really helped with all the photography, but
    without your love of and passion for Japanese food and the intense focus that it takes
    to get this all done on a regular basis to give to US, your subscribers, is AMAZING.

    Thank you for sharing that! I moved here when I was 15! So I’ve been here for almost 25 years now! I remember it was crazy cold in Chicago. We stayed with my Uncle in Munster,IN for 2 weeks and then moved to NC. We have been here ever since! I had it easier though cause my whole family moved here from the Philippines and my dad’s side of the family were mostly concentrated in NC. So I went from having no cousins close to me to having this huge security blanket of cousins!

There is only one market that sales some stuff that I may need like basic sushi equipment the most basic but there is a lot of stuff I can’t get over here also would the price be less expensive getting it directly from the source?

    I love your recipes. The ones I’m familiar with ( because my mother made them for us) are my favorite recipes. Thank you for the variety. Some are easier than others to prepare, but even the more difficult recipes are not impossible. Thank you!

    I’ve truly learnt a lot about Japanese cooking through you. All simple Homecooked dishes that we order outside in the restaurants all the time. Now I can make them at home!! Thank you!

    Thank you Nami for sponsoring this giveaway. I have a question, I actually bought bakeable green tea powder for baking but am not sure if it can be used for matcha ice-cream. I have gone to Japanese goods shops in Malaysia but I am not sure if the green tea powder is strong enough for great matcha ice-cream.

    Regards,
    Joelyn

    Hello Nami,

    All the while I am a big fan of Japanese food. Your easy to understand and step by step pictures recipes indeed had helped a non japanese like me able to enjoy wholesome Japanese food at home.

    Love the way you are so nice & friendly to your fans and the way you appreciate the small little things in life.

    Thank you Nami for sharing your wonderful recipes with all your fans around the globe who love Japanese food!

    Thank you for amazing recipes! I have googled Japanese ryouri many times but I always end up on your website – with amazing results at that. So many recipes left for me to try… this would really aid in the hunt of needed ingredients, which always ends up being the main obstacle. Keep up the good work!

    P.S. I do have a query… Been trying to find a recipe for the exquisite Hoba-miso paste (from the Hida region in Gifu prefecture). I was served this every morning during my visit to Takayama, it came on a heated Magnolia leaf and had the most rich, savoury flavour I’ve ever tasted! I’m dying to find a recipe that will help me recreate something that would resemble this, if even remotely… Arigatou gozaimasu! D.S.

  596. Thank you for your delicious recipes! My boyfriend and I are college students and love Asian cuisine very much as it reminds us of home and I am not a great cook, but decent enough to make good and yummy food that fill us up! Thank you your very home-y cooking! <3

    We loved your apple pie recipe with puff pastry, and am looking forward to making it again (perhaps with peach next time)! Also love your videos (makes the recipe look so do-able), and the great accompanying music! Thank you, Nami!
