Green Tea
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.
The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
In this cooking class, you can make Japanese rice balls together. Rice balls are very common in Japan and easy to make. First, we'll make tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet). We'll roll it using a square frying pan. Next, we'll make miso soup. The ingredients vary depending on the day, but if you have any preferences, please let us know. We'll add the ingredients and dissolve the miso to finish it. Finally, we'll make rice balls. The fillings we have ready are salmon, pickled plum, tuna, and mentaiko. If you have any preferences, please let us know.
Machiko
Hello.
I live in Joetsu, Niigata.
Joetsu City is a region rich in nature. You can see lots of rural scenery, and in winter, there's a lot of snow, so you can go skiing or snowboarding at the nearby ski resorts.
The rice is really delicious, so I’d love to enjoy making rice balls with everyone.
Let’s also make miso soup or tamagoyaki that goes well with the rice balls.
I also enjoy knitting and origami.
I’m still learning English, but I love meeting people from around world.
I’d love to cook, create, laugh, and share a taste of everyday Japan with you.
