Simple daily Japanese food.
Onigiri: onigiri is rice balls. Using organic rice grown at our ricefield, we cook rice and make rice balls.
Miso soup: miso soup is very common soup in Japan. It’s cooked with vegetables of the season, tofu and seaweed and then seasoned with miso, fermented soy bean paste.
Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.

Chiaki
We are family with 3kids living in the countryside of Oita prefecture.
My husband and I love to travel and he traveled around the world 10 years ago. When we were traveling, we enjoyed communicating with local people very much, especially visiting local market and eating local food with them.
As we don’t have opportunities to travel these days we’d love to accept travelers to share our culture and show our daily life in the countryside.
