This giveaway is exclusive to Just One Cookbook Email Newsletter Subscribers!
Thank you so much for subscribing to my newsletters and staying in touch with my blog! As a small token of my appreciation, I host a monthly giveaway just for my dearest subscribers.
This month since I’m still in Japan I decided to send a gift from here. When I asked my fans on Facebook and Instagram what they like to get, several people requested deep fryer with a thermometer and T-fal Tamagoyaki pan that I use (but can’t find in the US). Due to the cost of shipping, I’ll only be able to pick one winner this month and will adjust the # of winners or the gift next month. The winner can either pick the deep fryer or the tamagoyaki pan.
Starting this month, the winner(s) will also receive a copy of my e-Book, Just One Cookbook – Essential Japanese Recipes. One of my readers wished that my e-Book is a part of my monthly giveaway so I am including it now. Thank you for the suggestion, I am happy to add it.

You can answer YES or NO. And if you like (this is optional), please write additional feedback on this idea.

Yuka
Yes to the first 3 points, no the 4th.. Although a community on a site doesn’t always work as intended, it becomes a useful tool to gauge what interests your readership has. Of course as with any community, it’ll need moderation to a degree which could mean more work for you, but if done right could be the start of something like Cookpad, but in English! Good luck!

Yes, a community page would be amazing to have!

R. Newman
One of the things I enjoy the most in your blog is the certainty that I am getting authentic Japanese recipes. I am not interested in how other subscribers have modified your recipes, and possibly “Americanized” them. There are many such recipes online. So NO, I would not be interested in a community web page. As it is, you already have a means for us to email you. Let please let us keep this forum simple: you tell us how to cook, we ask questions if needed, and we try out your recipes in our kitchens. Thank you very much for all the good food!
Samantha
Thanks!
Sushma

Jess
I would love to join one to be able to ask you and others questions and share recipes!
Tina Mayo
Yes.
Personally I’m very interested in more meals that can be made in 30 minutes or less. With kids and family activities it gets really hectic and I refuse to cave in a get fast-food.
I’m also interested in “best Japanese Restaurants” around the USA. Not all of us can go to Japan but it would be fun to know which restaurants are great from state to state.
Blessings,
Sonia
I am unsure about joining a community because I am not sure I would have time to contribute to it. I love japanese curry is there a recipe you really enjoy doing starting from scratch and not from a box. I made Navy curry I loved the recipe it made a LOT of curry.

Yes
Meriam
Yes, a website that share recipes and ideas sounds great maybe you can host food contests based on your recipes! Of course the judging will have to be based on pictures

Yes, a community page to share with others about Japanese food is an excellent idea. There is a similar platform on another food website, but it is international and most of the food items are not to my liking. I particularly like Japanese food and to some extent Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai food.

We can post pictures of the Japanese food we like (or find it a bit strange) in the cities we live in or the places we travel to. It’ll be interesting to know how Japanese cuisine, or its culture at large, is interpreted and presented worldwide.

My father visited Japan when he was 22 years old in the 40’s. From that young age he fell in love with the people and food! Our home was decorated in Japanese style and he loved to eat Japanese food. We have been seeking recipes and found YOU! Hurray!!!! Delicious and fun ways to cook! Thanks so much for doing what you do!
I will decline the community. Thanks though.

Peggy Otto
I visited Japan in 2013 when I visited my son and loved every minute of it! I loved the food and culture and would love to visit again. I really want to recreate slot of the dishes I had there and that is why I follow your cookbook. I need all the help and guidance you can give me . Thanks. Peggy

2. Would be good for us to share our experiences/recipes say on a same theme like eg. July for asparagus
3. Would be helpful if we can learn from one another or ask for advice eg why is my doriyaki so burnt and not nicely brown?

Joanna Poh
No
Zoe
Yes! For sure.
Shanice
Yes! However I think I’d more probably be referring the travel information through the community page rather than contributing as I’m still a student and has yet to have as much travel experiences. But it’s a great idea to collaborate travelers and food lovers around the world to share their experiences! 🙂
Linda Young
Yes
Calista
Yes.
Lorraine
love love love your blog but I wont join community page as I doubt that I would have anything to share, I’d rather read comments and learn from everyone else. cheers 🙂
Ken Cameron
Hello Nami,
Yes please include me in you community page.
I think it is a great idea for people who enjoy Japanese culture your blog.
I am sure that you will have many contributions.
Best regards,
Ken
Naseera
YES!!
I think a forum like that will be an awesome idea – it is definitely needed.
Yesterday, I had tofu that was probably in the fridge too long. There is very little out there about tofu that has gone bad and whether you can still eat it so I think this forum will be great
Aini
Yes, I would love to join though I might not be contributing much but would love to read what others are commenting/discussing.
The community can be a good platform for your worldwide fans/readers to come together to share pictures, improvisation on your recipes (due to lack of ingredients, personal preference, etc), where to buy Japanese ingredients, etc.
No.
Sorry. Not into that sort of thing.
