This tsukune- juicy pork meatball, is from my absolute favourite izakaya. Most regulars order it with halved Japanese green peppers, piman, and eat them together in one bite. That combination is incredibly tasty- and it pairs perfectly with a lemon sour cocktail, shochu with lemon, ice, and soda water. If you get the chance, give it a try. Come visit Japan!

For cooking, I usually use cane sugar. This one is made from 100% sugarcane grown on Miyakojima island, one of the Okinawa Islands. It has an extra-fine texture, melts easily, and is rich in minerals and flavour. Crops from Miyakojima are especially tasty- they thrive in the island’s rich soil and sunny climate.

My go-to recipe for hot and humid summer days is stir-fried pork with ginger, called shogayaki in Japanese. In my version, I use fresh ginger in two ways: first to marinate the pork, then again in a sauce made with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and a little sugar. With plenty of ginger, it’s packed with stamina-boosting power. Let’s beat the summer heat!
