cylinder shapes and wrapped in nori or a dried seaweed sheet. We traditionally use fillings such as
umeboshi or pickled plum, dried bonito flakes with soy sauce, cod roe etc, but you can put anything like
tuna＆mayo or even tempura inside! Onigiri is a perfect on-the-go food and has been loved for centuries in
Japan.

Miso soup or miso-shiru is made from dashi stock and miso or fermented soybean paste. Popular ingredients
are tofu, wakame or seaweed, green onions etc. Seasonable vegetables or local ingredients are often
added as well. There are also rich varieties of miso paste you can choose from. You can try hundreds or
thousands of combinations of miso and ingredients you like, once you learn the basic recipe.
◦Dashimaki-tamago
Dashimaki-tamago is Japanese style rolled omelet flavored with dashi stock and is popular as part of a

widely made not only as a typical homemade dish but also a special treat for New Year’s celebration in the
area.
Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.
