・Nikujaga (Japanese Meat and Potato Stew)
Nikujaga is a classic Japanese comfort food that literally means “meat and potatoes.” It typically consists of thinly sliced beef (or sometimes pork), potatoes, onions, and carrots simmered in a broth made from soy sauce, sugar, sake, and mirin. It’s a staple of home cooking in Japan, often served as part of a traditional family meal.
・Miso soup
Miso soup is Japan’s go-to comfort soup! Made with miso paste and dashi broth, it’s light, flavorful, and full of umami. With ingredients like tofu and seaweed, it’s the perfect side dish to a bowl of rice.
・Sasami Ume Shiso Maki
"Sasami Ume Shiso Maki" is a Japanese dish made by rolling chicken tenderloin (sasami) with pickled plum paste (umeboshi) and shiso leaves (Japanese perilla). It’s then usually pan-fried or grilled. The combination of the tender chicken, tangy plum, and refreshing shiso creates a light and flavorful dish that’s both healthy and delicious.
Nikujaga literally means “meat and potatoes”, from two of the main ingredients niku (meat) and jagaimo (potatoes). It’s a comfort food for the Japanese and it is a very popular meal cooked at home. It is often considered “mother’s cooking” (“ofukuro no aji” おふくろの味 in Japanese) as each household cooks it just slightly different. The food itself is very simple and homely, and the warm bowl of your mother’s nikujaga brings one back to their roots. It is probably the most popular dish among all kinds of nimono (煮物 Japanese stewed dishes).
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.
Japanese popular alcoholic drink must be Sake, or called Nihonshu, made from fermented rice. The foundation of good sake is quality rice, clean water, koji mold and yeast. Premium sake differentiates itself in quality of ingredients and production process, so that flavors ranges light and crisp to richer, fruity notes.

HATSUKI
Hello! I'm an office worker living in Tokyo. In Japanese, we say "OL" (Office Lady). I live alone in a small apartment in the city.
My hobbies are eating and cooking.
Although my apartment is small, I’d be happy if you could get a sense of what life is like for a single person living in Japan, while we enjoy making Japanese home-cooked meals together.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it!
English isn't my strong point, but if we can connect through our hearts, I'm happy!
