Busy days...
I was back in Japan with family last week. It was a short busy stay, but between errands were filled with good foods.
Miso-nikomi udon (miso stew style udon) in donabe was so nice. Yuzu ume-shu, winter buri sashimi salad, porridge, etc. Baby scallion sushi was very refreshing. Spanish lunch was also nice.
Local Korean (oyster jjigae and oyster bibimbop were fabulous!), elegant Japanese lunch with Japanese Koshu wine, and more good Japanese food in the plane.
And some nice wines...
Once I returned to LA, I hosted a Donabe cooking class at Tortoise General Store. (Here's the link to their blog.)It was a part of Common Grains projects, and the theme was donabe rice dishes and okazu (side) dishes. There will be more fun events coming up in the next weeks, so please check out Common Grains website. The same night, we had delicious hand-made soba dinner at Sonoko-san's pop-up!
I will be out of town again. Leaving for NYC this Friday for 8 days to attend New York International Gift Fair!
Happy donabe life.
