Sukiyaki is a feast for us at home, and also a well-balanced meal. For my husband’s birthday, I used beef from Matsuki, a specialty shop in Asakusa. Along with plenty of vegetables, I added traditional ingredients such as shirataki, noodles made from konnyaku yam, and fu, a light and spongy ingredient made from wheat gluten.

Tamagoyaki, the Japanese omelet is one of the most popular Japanese dishes. Its taste changes depending on the region or where you eat it- at home, in a sushi restaurant, or as part of a traditional kaiseki meal. In eastern Japan it’s usually sweet, while in western Japan it often includes more dashi.My mother made hers with lots of sugar- it was so delicious and still a nostalgic taste for me. Nowadays, I cook mine with less sugar and a touch of dashi, sometimes adding tuna, sweetcorn, or nori.
