Tempura soba. In Asakusa, Tokyo’s old downtown district, you’ll find classic Japanese soul foods such as tempura, sushi, unagi, monja and soba noodles. This is tempura soba, soba noodles topped with shrimp tempura. It’s one of the most iconic dishes at a traditional soba restaurant. Just be careful with the first bite… it’s wonderfully juicy and piping hot inside! #asakusa #japanesefood #omeletyellow

Kashiwa-mochi is a traditional Japanese sweet made from rice cake, typically enjoyed on Children’s Day, 5th May, to celebrate children’s health and family prosperity. It is filled with sweet red bean paste, known as anko, and wrapped in an oak leaf. The type of filling varies by region- popular varieties include smooth paste, chunky paste, and miso paste, which has a sweet taste with a hint of savouriness. The oak leaf is not edible, but it adds a lovely fragrance to the rice cake.

Shichimi Togarashi, which means seven-flavour chilli pepper, is said to have originated about 400 years ago in old downtown Edo- now called Tokyo. It was inspired by traditional Chinese medicine and mixed chilli pepper with other ingredients. It gradually became a special Japanese spice mix.As Edo food culture spread, shichimi began to be sold all over Japan. Each brand has its own mix, but most of them include three main ingredients: chilli pepper, sansho- Japanese pepper, and sesame seeds.This one is from one of the major shichimi brands, called Yagenbori. Their mix includes chilli pepper, sansho, roasted chilli pepper, black sesame, dried citrus peel, poppy seeds, and hemp seeds.Shichimi tastes amazing with yakitori!
