Win a Box of ‘Obaachan’s Kitchen: Grandma’s Japanese Comfort Foods’ from Japan Today!
Grandmas are the most magnificent cooks and their foods often remind us of warm hugs. That’s why Kokoro Care Packages brings you their upcoming May care package with a theme on Obaachan’s Kitchen: Grandma’s Japanese Comfort Foods.
- Local Pickled Burdock (Tsukemono) – Older generations have been making pickled foods known as tsukemono as a way of preserving food. This burdock is pickled in a sweet and sour pickling juice, that can be reused to pickle your own vegetables
- Old Fashioned Organic Umeboshi (Pickled Plum) – Nothing reminds us of obaachan quite like a tart plump pickled Japanese plum. Naturally made just like obaachan would, this umeboshi is organically grown in Wakayama Prefecture, where only one 1% of the ume are certified organic.
- Donburi (Rice Bowl) Sauce – There’s nothing more comforting than a big hot steamy rice bowl. This donburi sauce tastes like obaachan’s homemade secret recipe and is made from three simple ingredients: white grain soy sauce, unrefined cane sugar and hon mirin. Add it to any ingredients you have in your kitchen to create your own comforting donburi.
- Hoto Udon – These hōtō noodles feel like a warm hug from your obaachan. With a texture more similar to dumplings than noodles, hōtō noodles are thick, doughy perfect for making hearty, homemade noodle dishes.
- Salt Kelp – Salt kelp defines traditional Japanese cuisine and is the magic touch obaachans use to add salty-sweet umami flavor to almost any dish, from onigiri, to stir fries, omelettes and salads, and anywhere else you want to add a touch of umami!
They partner with local producers who are passionate about their products and connect you to the stories behind what makes each of their items so unique. Their products are chemical-free and many cannot be found outside of Japan. They also include English translations and suggested so you can easily enjoy all the wonderful foods.
About Kokoro Care Packages
Kokoro Care Packages are founded by two friends, Lillian Hanako Rowlatt and Aki Sugiyama, who share much passion for health and fitness. They both believe that food plays an important role in nourishing our bodies and determining our health and wellness. They also have the first-hand experience in the positive benefits of eating a Japanese inspired diet and want to share these incredible foods with the rest of the world. So the idea of Kokoro Care Packages began.
Kokoro (written as 心 in kanji) translates into “heart” in Japanese, yet has a much deeper meaning. It represents the “spirit”, “soul” and “emotion”, and is the foundation of each of the Kokoro Care Packages. You can read more here.

My favorite Japanese comfort food is probably miso soup (very close with onigiri). It always warms me up and makes me feel realyl content. I feel like, with rice and miso soup, I have everything I need! 🙂
