Kurimushi Yokan is one of the traditional Japanese sweets- a steamed yokan with chestnuts. It’s made from a mixture of anko (sweet red bean paste), wheat flour, and powdered arrowroot. This Kurimushi Yokan is from Nishimura, one of the most traditional sweet shops in Asakusa, with over 160 years of history. The taste is elegant, smooth, and slightly chewy, and a gentle sweetness. It’s also their signature confection.

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, a Japanese omelette, gets its beautiful shape from a special square frying pan. The seasoned egg mixture is poured into the pan in layers, rolled carefully each time. You can achieve a perfectly square, rolled omelette, but it takes practice to handle the pan well.
