Nikomi Hamburger Steak is Hamburger patties cooked or lightly stewed in a flavorful brown sauce. It’s quite simple and even less likely you will make mistakes in this dish than regular Hamburger Steak which is already easy to make.
Ajitama (味玉) is boiled eggs marinaded in a sauce. Ajitama is actually a short name for Ajitsuke Tamago which means seasoned eggs. It is great as is, but it can be a topping for Ramen, salad, and rice bowl dishes.

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.
