‘Kyoto’ is sometimes referred to as ‘Saikyo’ (西京), the western city, as opposed to the eastern city, ‘Tokyo’ (東京). ‘Saikyo Miso’ is pale coloured Miso that is originated Kyoto, and it is less salty and sweeter.

Last night, my husband and I went to watch ‘Les Miserables’ Arena Show. My husband wanted to have early dinner before we went out. I had Frozen Seafood Mix and nothing else. I was busy, so I placed Rice and Seafood in the rice cooker, and pressed the button. While I was doing other things, …
The main ingredients of this soup are Onion, Potato and Seafood. I often use Frozen Seafood Mix.

Yesterday, my son made a proper Dashi Stock using Bonito Flakes that is called ‘Hana Katsuo’ (花かつお). ‘Hana Katsuo’ makes a very nice dashi stock, but it was almost tasteless after being used.

A variety of Fried Fish Cakes are easily available from many stores in Japan and I never wanted to make them from scratch. But, in Melbourne where I live, I need to make them when I want to eat them. It’s much easier than you think if you have a food processor. Deep frying is …
The other day, I saw a photo of Fish Tacos on a Facebook page. It looked so good and I wanted to eat it, but I had no energy and motivation to cook Fried Crumbed Fish. When my children were young and I was a very busy mum, I never cooked Fried Crumbed Fish. I …
