This is Ganmodoki, a type of fried tofu. It is made by crushing tofu and mixing it with vegetables such as carrot, burdock root and lotus root. The mixture is shaped into balls and then deep-fried in oil. Today I warmed the Ganmodoki in a toaster until the surface turned crispy, and served it with a bit of grated daikon and soy sauce.

This nikomi is another incredibly tasty pork dish from my absolute favorite izakaya.Different parts of pork are simmered in a soy sauce-based broth in a big hot pot. Under all the pork, you’ll find tofu that’s been quickly simmered and has soaked up all the flavour. I always order a boiled egg as a topping- it’s cooked in the same pot and tastes amazing.On top, there’s chunky chopped leek, Japanese mustard, and I usually sprinkle some shichimi, a Japanese chilli spice.The umami is deep, and the flavour and texture are rich and complex. Honestly, it’s hard to describe just how good it is- but one thing’s for sure: it goes perfectly with a beer!
