Mizuna Salad is a salad using Mizuna greens which have been cultivated in Japan from ancient times. Here Mizuna is mixed with grilled Aburaage (Usuage) fried Tofu and a Japanese mustard dressing.
Buta Don is stir-fried pork seasoned with a soy sauce-based sauce over Steamed Rice. Strong soy-garlic flavor and plenty of fat from pork make this dish rich and fulfilling, and it is very easy to make. Buta Don is a great one-bowl dish for hungry teenagers (and anybody else!) who want to eat good food fast.
Renkon Hasamiyaki is ginger flavored ground chicken mixture sandwiched with lotus root slices, then cooked in sweet and salty sauce. It is easy to make, and rather home cooking than restaurant food. This strongly seasoned dish is perfect accompaniment for Steamed Rice.
Pannacotta is an Italian cold creamy dessert that is also popular in Japan. The texture of Pannacotta is similar to Purin (flan) or Bavarois, and usually topped with fruits or sauces. We arranged the traditional Italian dish into more Japanese using Kinako, soybean powder, and Kuromitsu, dark sugar syrup.

Curry Fried Rice is literally curry flavored fried rice. It is so easy to make, and the old cooked rice can be deliciously recycled, which is really very helpful if you’re making rice regularly.
Fried eggs or sunny side up are widely eaten all over the world. It is a national food of every country. It is easy and cheap to make, nutritious, and dependably delicious. It varies by seasonings and what to be eaten with, but the basic taste is the same. In Japan, we often eat fried egg and ham cooked together. The addition of saltiness and extra protein from the ham make a simple fried egg taste better and heartier.
Crab Gratin is a casserole dish with crab meat and creamy white sauce that is a popular western style dish in Japan. Piping hot Gratin is a perfect food for warming up during a cold winter.
Furofuki Daikon is thick-cut Daikon radish cooked in Dashi broth and served with seasoned Miso sauce poured on top. When Daikon is cooked in boiling hot broth, it gets very hot, much more than some other ingredients, because of its high water content. Furofuki Daikon is a traditional Japanese winter dish from old times to warm you up, and it is not a coincidence that Daikon is in season and at peak flavor in cold months there.
Harumaki egg roll is a deep-fried packet filled with shredded meat and vegetables, and one of the most popular Chinese foods in Japanese cuisine. In this recipe, instead of shredded meat and vegetables, we stuffed cooked chicken breast, cheese, and fragrant Shiso leaves. It is so much simpler to make Chicken and Cheese Harumaki time-wise (and also “number of ingredient”-wise). These Harumaki are a perfect entree for everyday dinner as well as a great appetizer item for parties.
