{Worldwide} Win a brand new JOC sweatshirt that comes in white or black! This giveaway is open to a worldwide audience.
JOC has a brand-new logo! If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you might have noticed the presence of a graceful Japanese lady in the kimono on the header of our web pages. The logo, designed by the talented Kaori Drome, is a small labor of love. And it is the first time I feel truly connected to a visual image that speaks of Just One Cookbook. So we wanted to celebrate this special moment with a new JOC sweatshirt giveaway!
JOC Logo Design
For those who are curious about the meaning of the design, here are some features:
- An ukiyo-e (浮世絵) style lady in the kimono is reading a cookbook while she cooks with saibashi (cooking chopsticks) in her hand.
- The cookbook cover says “one” (壱) in kanji.
- The red stamp represents Japanese hanko stamps, showing again “one” (壱) in kanji.
- The Japanese letter below Just One Cookbook says ジャストワンクックブック in katakana.
Is this lady in the kimono supposed to be me? Maybe! When it comes to Japanese cuisine, I enjoy learning more about traditional and classic styles of cooking and techniques. As I see the importance of preserving one’s culture through its culinary treasures that have withstanding time, it motivates me to share and advocate for what defines the essence of my cuisine.
Surely, cuisines evolve and we welcome creativity, but I believe we can stay true to the ethos. I hope you enjoy the new logo and what I share on Just One Cookbook.

I follow you for about 5 years, and I always find your blog whenerver I need to try Japanese recipe. Because it’s more easy to understand than others.
Thank you for making my time living and cooking in Iwakuni, Japan so enjoyable! I learned so much about the ingredients that were available in the local grocery stores and how to cook them from reading your blog. I have been using your recipes since 2015 and have never been disappointed! Usually I look for information on ingredients as well as yummy dinner recipes.
I look for recipes my mother used to prepare for me as she is no longer with us. I want to experience these dishes and share them with my children and grandson.
Im looking for easy enough but satisfied Japanese meal recipes.
I’d be googling for a specific recipe and would end up gravitating towards yours in the end (my go to Oyako-don recipe!)
I look for quick dinner recipes! 🙂 Just One cookbook never fails to give me an amazing recipe for dinner!
I enjoy learning different cuisines. Making food is my happy place. I must say all your recipes are very well written and give wonderful results. Thank you.
I always look for authentic Japanese recipes. I mostly cook dishes for dinner. My favorite dish is the vegetable curry. I also enjoy reading about the cultural significance behind every dish.
Hi Nami, first of congratulations on your article!!🎉 You deserve it!🙌🏻
I normally look for classic/popular Japanese dishes that me and my husband like, and your blogs/recipes have it all! Our all-time favorites are Japanese beef curry, baked Tonkutsu, omurice – the best!
Thank you for sharing your easy and delicious recipes to all of us who love Japanese cuisine but sometimes have no clue where to start or what ingredients to use (I really love that you breakdown all the ingredients and explain it in details with pictures for each step, and where to find ingredients or Japanese cookware)! ♥️

Mostly certain Japanese dish I have in mind. Occasionally, I need inspiration for other dishes with certain ingredients in mind.
JOC is my go-to-reference for Japanese cooking. More power to you. Keep inspiring.
