January 2015 Email Subscriber Giveaway (Worldwide) (Closed)

This giveaway is exclusive to Just One Cookbook Email Newsletter Subscribers!

~~I’m giving away 2 (two) $50 Amazon Gift Cards to my email newsletter subscribers.~~

~~Or you can choose another option, Nami’s personal shopping assistance!~~

I often hear from readers that they have a hard time finding certain Japanese ingredients in their country (that I use in my recipes). E.g. dashi packets, matcha (green tea) powder, otoshibuta (drop lid), etc etc…

So if you have specific Japanese products that you can’t find in your country and would prefer them over the Amazon gift card, I’d be happy to buy and ship them to you instead. However, please keep in mind that the cost of the product and shipping fee has to be under $50.

I cannot guarantee if I can find what you want, but I’ll definitely do my best. Please note, items I cannot ship include perishable food or heavy kitchen gadget like takoyaki grill. We can discuss more details if you find out you’re one of the winners. 🙂

~~I thought this is one way that I can help out Just One Cookbook fans and readers. If this is something you like, I can do this again (so please mention it in the comment below).~~

~~Important Rule:~~

~~You can enter ONLY one comment per subscriber.~~
~~Your email entry has to match with your email address in my {Free} Email Newsletter Subscription list.~~
~~In the comment box below, write any feedback you may have for me, or just say hello.~~

Two (2) winners will be selected via Random.org and announced on Sunday, February 1, 2015. This giveaway closes on Saturday, January 31, 2015 at 12 p.m. PST. The winners will be contacted via email, so please include a valid email address in the email address entry box.

Full Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by yours truly.

******

Thank you for participating this giveaway! The winners are….

Congratulations K (#498) and Doris D’Adamo (#388)! I’ll be contacting you shortly…

Hi, Nami! All of these giveaways are so kind of you! I love the idea of personal shopper – there are so many products I could never find even in online shops here, that I would have a really hard time deciding what I’d like to try the most; I think I would go with the ingredients you use for dressings and bases of “the most Japanese” dishes, as I would call them – these are the ones that are to be found in most of your recipes and the ones that block me from making them taste like they really should! I hope I get lucky this time 🙂

Your recipes inspire me to cook more Japanese Recipes at home. I am half-Japanese and am an ESL tutor to Japanese students and I showed them a photo of the Ozoni I made on New Year’s Day using your recipe with the shiro miso. They told me it looked delicious and then whipped out photos of their New Years foods they made, which were Ozoni for breakfast and then beautiful Osechi for supper….of course their Ozoni looked perfect like your photo and mine looked so sloppy next to theirs and yours. They’ve never seen Ozoni with miso, so they must be from regions that use a clear dashi broth.
Thank you for keeping in touch with my Japanese foodie roots!

I lived in Japan for 3 years a long time ago – 1976 – 1979. My ex was in the military and my daughter was born there. Always loved the food, my Aunt is Japanese also. She met my Uncle when he was stationed there many years ago. They are still married!! My granddaughters also love Japanese food as much as I do. I can’t eat Chinese food anymore. It just doesn’t taste good to me anymore. I had as bunch of recipes when I left there but I haven’t been able to find where I put them. Anyway I was looking for a recipe on the internet one day when I found your website. Signed up right away!!

One of my favorite desserts here in Japan is the chocolate cake rolls. There were many at Christmas time, but also I enjoy getting them from bakeries like Custard or Cozy Corner year round.

Also, I love Kabocha, do any more Kabocha recipes would be appreciated too!

I love every recipe I have made from you. I am half Japanese so was raised eating good authentic Japanese dishes. My mom passed away in feb 2008, so I can’t call and ask for substitutions etc. when I can’t find something. But, I turn to your cookbook and can find anything, that is another reason I’m grateful for your website and your justonecookbook!!!!! Thank you

I love your recipes! I stumbled across it when I was looking for a good castella recipe, and have made your castella, banana nutella muffins, and banana bread, all of which were extremely well-received by the pickiest eaters in my family! I’m in college now, so don’t have much time to bake or cook, but rest assured that I will be returning to your recipes in the summer. Thank you for all you do!
