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.

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.
