Teriyaki is one of the most popular Japanese cooking methods using a sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. The sugar in the mirin, along with the added sugar creates a sweet glossy glaze as the sauce cooks. This shine is what gives teriyaki it’s name- Teri means shine or glaze, and yaki means grilled or pan-fried.Today I used salmon, but it’ also delicious with chicken and yellowtail.

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.
