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….

Winners

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

Let me hold my mind from preferences and greed. I take this food as an effective medicine to keep my body in good health. I accept this food so that I will fulfill my task of enlightenment.

    Nice idea. In L.A. I don’t generally have trouble with ingredients but sometimes. I also like when you show photos of ingredients because it makes it easier to look. I don’t read or speak any Japanese.

    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 🙂

    I really like your blog, I find your blog is an awesome japanese recipes blog ever that I have seen!! I really hope I have a taiyaki pan. My kids wanna try taiyaki, but I couldnt find any taiyaki pan here. Yeah I know taiyaki pan is heavy kitchen gadget too 🙂 . Anyway I love every matcha recipes, but I couldnt find any good quality matcha here. Keep improving for JOC!!! Cheers!!

    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 am a huge fan of Chinese food, and Thai; and am excited to learn more about Japanese cooking. I especially like your “how to do it” section.

    My first attempt at onigiri balls was not great – and am going to try them again. My son mastered them quite easily and is encouraging me to experiment. He is the one that gave me your website.

    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!!

The cake and icing is soooo light and wonderful! There is usually strawberries, bananas and blueberries with it too. You shoulda me this your next recipe! I would love to learn!

    Hi Nami! The tutorial videos and recipes that you have are super easy to follow, which I really appreciate. Also, the different kinds of foods that you make are awesome. I consistently make the mushi pan for myself and my housemates for breakfast and as for a light snacks. Thanks for posting such amazing recipes and photos of your travels! Have a wonderful day!

    hello, I love your blog! As an American it’s difficult to find authentic Asian cuisine. Your blog has helped a great deal with learning what is authentic and what is not. I’d much rather make it myself at home now instead of eating the American version of Asian food. Your recipes are much better than anything I can find near me.

    I love your blog…very inspiring! I’m looking for one of those wooden sushi press molds…the rectangular box ones. If you have some comments on what I should be looking for in terms of quality, that would be helpful too. I am also venturing into the world of experimenting with making japanese ramen. Mostly, I’m looking for good broth recipes that don’t take too long. I can already get the noodles fresh locally 🙂

  741. Oh Nami, this is such a great competition!! I love the idea of getting Nami’s personal shopping assistance. I’ve just started Japanese cooking and I’m using your recipes a lot these days. LOVE THEM!!

    I wish they had like a store in Melbourne that sells all kinds of tools and ingredients from Japan! There are a few around here, but sometimes it’s still hard to find certain ingredients.

    Thank you for running this amazing competition!! You’re so generous. xx

  763. Thanks for all your recipes, I have made many of them. My girlfriend is Japanese so I cook a lot of it, it’s great to be able to find the ‘western’ versions of ingredients we just can’t get in the West (Australia).

    I particularly like how you show pictures of the steps, makes it say to work out what you mean.

    Arigato!

  767. One day I will make my way to Japan, and your blogs on restaurants is soo going to help. I have tried a few recipes so far off you website and while all of them and absolutely yummy, my favorites are the Royal Milk Tea and the steam green tea cup cakes. I enjoy every email I get from you. And other than Inside Kyoto, you are the only other internet subscription I have. Thank you.

    Hi! I just wanted to say I love your blog, it’s such a great webpage.

    I don’t have any negative feedback to give you, but can I’ll make a suggestions/request. Could you maybe post recipes that relate to anime? Like, when they feature food on certain anime, post the recipe for that food so we can make it in real life?

    Even if you don’t that’s fine. Your blog is perfect the way it is. *_*

    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!
