Hi Nami! I’m vegetarian, so I love it when you post a recipe with all vegetable ingredients. However, I made your shio salmon recipe for my 90-year-old father, and he loved it! He’s Japanese and loves homestyle Japanese cooking. He’s not a sushi-bar kind of guy, though he likes maki-zushi once in awhile, and which I learned to make through your blog. Thank you so much for teaching me about Japanese cuisine!

I love that your recipes are very doable. I really enjoy reading your travel posts, and introducing all the unique cuisines and foods that you eat. I love the black eggs that you boiled at the volcano in Japan. I hope to try that one day! I do know about black skinned chickens! We cook them with Chinese herbs and they are supposed to be higher in iron compared to regular chicken. Did you know black chicken have white feathers?
Thanks for giving me great ideas every week to include in my meal plans!!!

Hi Nami, I love reading your blog as it inspires me to cook. I would love to know what you can cook with red miso. Thanks
I love making cookies, breads and anything the kids want to help me with.
Having lived in Japan, I feel that international cuisine that the Japanese have adopted and adapted to the Japanese palate are my kind of food — like the natto or takana spaghetti with bacon bits and shredded nori, and the raw potato salad, served at Angelo Pietro in Honolulu. I thought that that the international cuisine at Tokyo restaurants were superior to those of their native countries, whether French, German,
Italian, or even Hungarian.
Maybe you could print such recipes?
Would want to learn more how to make japanese bento boxes for kids…Those that are made quite beautifully with characters. thanks!
I love your website!!
I am also Japanese and I love to see all your interesting recipes.
Its nice having a site that I can go to and try a recipe that is authentically Japanese

I am a newcomer this year and enjoy your recipes. I particularly loved the Japanese Cheesecake and have received several requests to share the recipe. Not a problem, I tell them about your website. I know this is mainly about Japanese recipes, but do you have an easy recipe to make light and buttery dinner rolls? I am not very good with yeast.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Thank you for this contest. I live in Hawaii and have eaten a lot of “shave ice”. I’ve recently bought shave ice from a local guy who makes his own syrups from fresh fruits. His mango, lilikoi, strawberry syrups really taste like the fruits! He claims his syrups are healthy. They aredelicious and different from the store bought syrups. Would you happen to know how people make their own “healthier” shave ice syrups?
I like you everywhere. What fantastic holiday gifts! You really know how to celebrate!
Hi Nami. How about recipes using aburage? I only know how to make cone sushi with aburage. thanks!

Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

Nami, what a generous and amazing giveaway!! I love so much you cook… but but your seafood dishes are some of my favorite. 🙂
I am definitely subscribed to the blog. 🙂
I follow you on facebook. 🙂
Dear Nami, thank you so much for your wonderful blog and recipes. Thanks to you I tried to cook Japanese food for the first time – before finding your easy-to-follow recipes, I was too terrified I’d get it all wrong. And lo and behold, the teriyaki chicken and rice turned out amazing! Incidentally, I enjoy all your recipes (bar the seafood ones as I’m not a fan!) and my favourite ones are the teriyaki marinade ones, and the rolled omelette! The absolutely easiest and best recipe of yours I have ever tried was Anko and it tasted exactly like in the restaurants! My favourite ingredient is chicken, as it is easy to get where I live (I get the free range, organic hapy chickens if I can and other meats are harder to get ethically sourced). Another ingredient I would like to see more of is tofu.
All the very best and please keep the blog posts coming,
Eva Farrow.
Oh, what an awesome giveaway! Thanks.
Cheers,
Rosa

One thing I would really want to make is this lobster special roll. We tasted it at Gin sushi in Pasadena. It has eel sauce but don’t know where to get it or how to make it. But OMG!!! It is ridiculously Delish…. It is a California roll but topped with lobster and the eel sauce.. Now we live in San Diego… We hardly drive there. I hope you could feature it and teach us how to make it. My husband will be so happy…

I love your recipes with dashi!
My childhood friend is inviting us to visit her family in Japan,but she’s not a cook,so she said we’re likely to eat out when we visit.

So i would love recipes with minimal ingredients but maximum flavor,lol. Thanks Nami, advance happy holidays

I am a recent subscriber to your e-mail newsletter which I enjoy very much.
A new ramen shop opened that advertised a “Tonkotsu” style broth, so decided to try it. It was so delicious! I just can’t get it out of my mind- the broth was so silky and rich. I would like to learn how to make that broth! They also served Char Siu in the dish which also was very tasty and would like to learn how you make that too.
Mahalo- Thank you- Arigatoo gozaimasu.
Aloha and congratulations on your success! I am unfortunately not a fan of Facebook so I won’t be qualified for this giveaway. I do follow your posts and emails and I thank you for your amazing recipes (Japanese menu). Much love and appreciation. Looking forward to more! Maybe misoyaki butterfish too?? Mahalo’s girl!
Avocado….besides in california roll
Hi Nami,
I really like your blog. I would like to see more sushi and vegetable dishes. Also Japanese table settings.
Love your recipes. Unfortunately, I did get a chance to learn all my Mom’s great traditional Japanese cooking from her while she was here and didn’t realize what a great cook she was until she passed away. So, I would love to see the good old traditional dishes.
I would love a recipe for Japanese beef curry. I have looked for curry powder from Japan but it doesn’t seem to be the same depth of flavor as I have found in a curry I tried called Agura. I comes ready to heat in a foil package. Can this flavor be duplicated?
I’d love to see more fish recipes. And recipes for hors d’oeuvres sorts of things.
What a nice giveaway, Nami! I’d like to see some mochi dessert recipes. 🙂
I already subscribe via e-mail.
…and I already follow on Facebook.
Just discovered your site. Been working on Japanese cheesecakes. My cake does not fall in the center. It always shrink in the middle of the outer edges. To make them presentable, I have to cut off the sides until it’s one vertical edge. Of course, the cut off sides are the cook’s very private treats. But it cuts about 1 inch from all sides, reducing the servable portion. Help…
Thanks for the generous giveaway offer 🙂
I would like to do something with taro ice cream:P
I like the japanese recipes!
Nami, all of these kitchen gadgets are so cool! It would be exciting to win any of them! I believe I follow you in every possible way, including via email 🙂
I Like you on Facebook as well.
I love cooking asian. I use a lot of the cooking oils and rice vinegar. I do alot of stirfries and LOVE shrimp. Can eat and cook all the recipes I can find.
It’s hard to pick just one category of recipe I like to see on your blog. The bentos were so cute and I really had fun reading all of those posts but I must say, your desserts always get me. I think I’m going with sweets and desserts.
I subscribe to your blog.
I liked your facebook page with my other email address end with 8730. Renee Z……

Hi Nami,
I like the appetizer and dessert in Japanese style you made. When I have no idea what to cook, I would always go to your blog to get some ideas.
I will give you my wishes at January but thank you again for this lovely giveaway Nami, you know that I am a subscriber, and a fan on facebook.
Kisses!
I love to get any Japanese recipe,but I would particularly like a recipe for the special Wagashi.
I love ALL of your Japanese recipes!
Love the Dorayaki recipe!
Hi Nami! I would love to see a recipe for the great pickled veggies I remember when I lived in Japan. Veggies, such as cucumbers, eggplant, squash, etc. were inserted into some type of mash and then removed days or weeks later when they were ready for eating. Does that sound familiar?
Hi Nami,
I love your blog! I would love to see more recipes using egg or tofu. They don’t need to be vegetarian. I love to cook with meat for flavor but my husband and I try not to eat large portions of meat to try to be healthier.
Thank you! Christine
A friend tried your Korokke recipe and said they’re the best! So I just started browsing your blog and I want to try the salmon and roe don, it looks delicious!
I’m also subscribed to your eNewsletter and Liked you on FB. Thank you!
I have enjoyed all of the recipes and tried quite a few. My husband is Japanese and since I have followed your recipes he is quite happy and I am getting compliments instead of what’s this? I would ginger pork or eggplant or iwashi with ginger. Thank you for the great recipes and photos (which are very important). Merry Christmas to you.
I’m crazy about pumpkin or other squash. For me, it’s total comfort food! Any recipes would be great!
Dear Nami ~ i subscribe to your emails & have recommended your site to many friends. I love the miso & tofu recipes. Simple Homestyle Jpn cooking recipes would be great.
Okazu, oyako, etc… Fresh vegetables & salads too!! LOVE your site, photos & recipes!
Happy New Year OMEDETO!!!
i like shrimp & vegs
Although I love traditional recipes from all around the world, I have eaten some fantastic fusion of the east and west food. This is very popular in Australia as we love to put our “attitude” on what we cook. This way you can have a go at cooking anything and substitute ingredients without a worry. Can you give us some twists to your traditional recipes you present. Many thanks and Happy Holidays.
i LOVE your Japanese recipes! i have only recently started cooking, and your recipes are well explained and are so easy to follow!i’d like to see a recipe for curry rice. mom makes it, but i’d like to surprise her!
Easy chicken recipes with a hint of sweetness.

Keep the Japanese dishes comming… I miss my mom’s cooking… I still have my favorites I make often… Love it!
Hi Nami, Healthy Asian inspired dishes especially from countries in South East Asia would be my request from you. Good job and always reading your blog.
I love to receive your weekly recipes and to read about your family both in Japan and Taiwan. Your children are adorable in the pictures you post of your travels!
I love to make many of your recipes as I cook Japanese food almost every night for my husband. We love Japan and travel there about twice a year….in the spring and fall. You make cooking so much fun and exciting with all your recipes with all the pictures of the beautiful dishes and ingredients! The pictures make it very easy to know exactly which ingredients to use. Your photos are outstanding!! Could you share some recipes that use YUZU juice? I LOVE YUZU but unable to get the fresh fruit in Hawaii so I resort to buying the bottled juice. Thank you for always sharing such wonderful meals!!
Aloha from Hawaii, Nani Terada
I have enjoyed your recipes and am using it daily for my training . thanks a lot
I agree with many of the others: may we have all the variations you know on both tofu and vegetables: am delighted if I can ‘pretend’ to be a vegetarian a couple of days a week 😉 !
I DO subscribe to your emails: they are an essential part of my day 🙂 !
I’d love to see your incorporate Kaffir Lime Leaves sometime into your recipe! (You can find them online, if you can’t find them in a store)
Dear Nami:
I’ve been enjoying your website very much.
It would be great to know a recipe of ‘takikomi gohan’
using Brown rice and a typical pot instead of a rice cooker.
Thank you.

I have a son 16 months old who is a very picky eater. I would like to see more recipe for kids. He loves eating noodles and salmon. Thank you so much teaching Japanese cuisine.
I love your onigiri recipes. We used to live on Tachikawa AFB in the 70s, and I have fond memories of my Japanese baby sitter making onigiri with umeboshi for me – I’m salivating just thinking about them. =)
Also, I was very happy to find your Zaru Soba recipe, because it is my second favorite Japanese childhood food memory. I never knew what the sauce was – glad to know how to make own Mentsuyu now!
what are some things i can use rice flour for? by the way i love your recipes even though i’m not the greatest at cooking.
In Japan we lived in Yokohama. My mom would order chuka soba noodles. The delivery man pedaled a bike with trays of hot noodles stacked high on his handle bars. The bowls were porcelain too! If you could ever recreate those noodles…they were amazing!
I love your website. Your recipes are authentic and easy too.
Thank you!
Hi Nami,
I love your site and the recipes you post. I’ve never gone wrong trying them. I was going to ask for a recipe for the elusive Mushipan perhaps with some optional flavors, but in looking through some of the older recipes, Lo and behold, you’ve posted it!! While I realize you’re not much into baking, some of the interesting lunch foods in Japan are actually the snack/sandwich breads and would be great to work up for lunches throughout the week. Can you possibly post some of those, like Curry pan, yakisoba pan, etc. Also would love your take on a Yaki-mono dinner. We do that at home occasionally since we no longer live near a kushi-yaki restaurant.

Hello Nami, thanks for the contest. Just leave you a message in the Facebook too. Tried your recipe for the tempura using fish and shirmp and my family love it! Next time I will use vegetables.

But we all love Japanese food too but don’t know how to cook, thanks to your website. Have a happy holiday to you and your family!!
Thanks for the giveaway! My rick cooker is on riot and hopefully I could win one to replace it on time 🙂

Hi Namisan,
I enjoy your recipes and have tried many of them. I am from Japan but I never cooked when I lived there. After moving to the U.S., I started cooking since my American husband loves Japanese food and started to appreciate my mom’s cooking back when I was in Japan. We would love recipes with seasonal vegetables as well as main dishes that aren’t deep fried since we are trying to eat healthy.
Salmon recipes are a favorite!
I subscribe to your blog by email.
Oh honestly what ever you make I will be happy and hungry 😀 Ok to be fair and answer maybe more Japanese sweet goodies:)

Hi Nami,
I would like to know a good recipe for dragon fruit. On its own it tastes a bit blunt (maybe we got not so good stuff?). I am not a baker or other sweets-creating person. However, my husband and I enjoy savory dishes with fruit. Any idea what to pair dragon fruit with (I think for pork it has not enough umpf), beef, I think, is not good. So, chicken, shrimp, fish or tofu?
I am open to almost everything!
Best,
Karina

Hi Nami,
I’m a Malaysian and have been following you only for a few months and am really impressed with the tempura dishes as well as the other dishes. I have tried making the prawn tempura after looking at your advice on line. It turned out quite well.
I abstain from taking pork and beef due to religious restrictions. I do wish for more dishes using fish and chicken which my family enjoys and vegetarian recipes that you have tested for a variety. Tq.

I would love to see a recipe for Ramen soup that is much lower in sodium. I love ramen soup so much but it is always so high in sodium, which I have a sensitivity to. Thanks! I’m so glad I found your blog. I really like it! I subscribe via Google Reader.
Hi Nami,
I would love to see more Japanese home cooking / everyday meals that you think are easy or low-hassle enough to make on weekdays. On another note, I am always so impressed by how Japanese households keep their houses so tidy. Although it’s not a recipe, I’d love to know more tips on this subject.
Love Christine
Different types of seaweed and how to cook them
I have no idea what I’d like to see more of. Seriously, you have some amazing stuff, I just started following you recently.
O, O, I know, do you make mochi? My boyfriend and I tried to make it with mochi rice and a kitchen-aid last year, very experimental. It mostly worked. He’s made it before, but by pounding or using a machine, and not a mixer, so we didn’t really know what we were doing. We successfully made the paste (I guess you’d call it that?) but then we couldn’t really figure out what to do with it after (I suspect his mom was the one making it not him). We fried the next-day leftovers then the rest of it went rotten because we couldn’t figure out how to dry it. He kind of thought it was crazy, but I like doing crazy kitchen things.
Dear Laura,
this blog is almost exclusively devoted to Japanese Wagashi, and has a very good mochi recipe. The author writes in English and German. I highly recommend it – just seeing the beautiful pictures is amazing!

Hi Nami
I seriously adore Japanese food, and I love your tempura recipes. I am just wondering recently I bought a airfry machine (one of those which allows me to cook french fries with just one tablespoon of oil compares to normal deep fried). i have yet trying to make Tempura with airfrier. i am just wondering if there is a healthier way of making tempura or even my all time favourite chicken karaage?! thank you.

I really liked seeing recipes using seafood, particularly fish, on your blog. ^^ Ever since I moved to Fukuoka, I’ve had the privilege to have access to all kinds of fresh fish, and though I’m just a newbie in the kitchen, I really want to take advantage of his access while I still can (since I’m moving back to the states next summer).

I am traveling today, and I thought I might request a recipe for those DELICIOUSLY sweet Japanese carrots (usually cut in coins) that are often served alongside hibachi, teriyaki, and teppanyaki meals in restaurants.

How do Japanese restaurants keep their tempura batter crispy and so light?
i’d love to see some recipes using koya dofu. i bought some when my husband and i were in japan, but i am a bit lost on how to use it.. ^^;
I like to see recipe that contain maitake mushroom with it. Thanks
I always enjoy innovative chicken recipes!
O, I thought of a another thing! Sometimes when I make Japanese food for my boyfriend I can’t find the right things but apparently my substitutions make it taste wrong. (He likes to make fun of me for making Japanese food for him, claiming it doesn’t make sense for the American to make Japanese food when there a Japanese person to do it. The fact that he makes American food appears to be irrelevant.) Could you possibly do a post or include notes on what makes a good substitution like “Regular cabbage is an okay sub for Nappa and a stretch for Boy Choy, but you can do it in a pinch” and “maybe you should just suck it up and drive all the way to Asian food store to get Mirin because rice vinegar and sugar is a bad substitution, and if you feed that to your boyfriend his mouth will say ‘this good, honey’ but his eyes will say ‘why are you feeding me weird things?'”
Love Japanese food but would love to have more vegetable and tofu recipes. Thanks for offering this great giveaway!
I would love to see more sweets, such as tri-colored dango!

Hi Nami,
How kind of you to run such a wonderful giveaway – what fun! I’m sure whoever wins will be so happy! As for the ingredients or recipes… I have to say anything which is fresh and crunchy… you post some pickled vegetables sometimes, or the simple salads… things like tsukemono… I go nuts for that sort of stuff and it’s not too complex either! Makes me feel like actually I could effectively recreate it 😀
Oh, and I follow you on Facebook 🙂

Hiya! I joined about 2 months ago so im still exploring this website 🙂 I like the recipes and the post you put about your traveling trip was really fun to read!
I have made lots of japanese foods and continue to search for more, if I had to name a food to see here it would probably be lots of donburi! because I love donburi!
and more recipes that go could with soba and udon soups(like the sides,i.e gyoza ) I was experimenting with that. thanks for the contest!
Made your honey pork belly and it was a big hit all around! Everyone was asking for more! Please post up more recipes like this one! 🙂

I’d like to see a Japanese style creep recipe! In America they’re made differently and do not taste as good as the ones I had in Japan. I enjoyed both the “meal” creeps (the ones filled with stuff like chicken and vegetables) and the dessert creeps while I was over there. I love how they folded them so you could carry them in your hands. I really want to make my own, but I have been having issues on finding a recipe.

Just back from two weeks in Japan – the rice is so good! It actually glistened! Wish I could find rice like that here.
Well, my post from yesterday has given me the idea for today’s request. I was wondering/hoping that you might have a recipe for the “shrimp sauce” that is so often served with hibachi style meals. If so, could you share it, if you haven’t already?

I’m interested in some spicy recipes. Not necessarily hot though.

Just made this for dinner tonight, so good! I had some trouble finding some of the ingredients so I substituted tahini and a red curry paste for the miso, also did shrimp instead of tofu (for pleasure of
My fiancé haha) but I have to say to definitely make the soft boiled egg! It was the cherry on top

Hello Nami!
I am a vegetarian. I have always love your recipes and tried out some. They really taste amazing! I’d love to see more Japanese side dishes since I have always been fascinated with Japanese style meals. Vegetables, tofu, natto! (I love natto). Oh, there’s one Japanese ingredient I really wanted to try it out; Mozuku. I heard this is Okinawan specialty and very healthy. Hope to see a recipe with this ingredient in your blog!
Thank you for the giveaways 🙂
I have subscribed you blog! 🙂

My last comment showed up under yesterday’s date, which I did not realize. I keep forgetting that you are on West Coast time, Nami-san. Oh, and thanks for replying to me about the carrots. I’m not sure if what you described is what I had at the hibachi place; those carrots are SO sweet that there must be sugar somewhere in the preparation. There is no sauce or glaze, so I assumed the sweetness is something to do with how they are cooked. Still, I really appreciate that you took the time to respond to me.
To make this comment an official request/entry, this time I would like to ask for more recipes using wakame. I bought some in the nearest Asian market, for my miso soup, and I was wondering what else I could make with it. Thanks again!
Just stumbled upon here while trying to find recipes for cream stew (using ingredients from US). Thanks for the info.

Please overlook any mistakes, I’m just a beginner student. :))
