Kaki Dotenabe Recipe

Kaki Dotenabe

Kaki Dotenabe is a hot pot dish with Oysters and vegetables in a strong Miso based soup.  Kaki Dotenabe is a Hiroshima regional dish, an area famous for oysters.  It is often eaten in winter as other hot pots are, and that’s also when oysters are in season.  The distinguished “Umami” savory flavor from oysters is blended into the Miso based soup, and it is eaten as is, without any dipping sauces like many other hot pots require. You can of course enjoy the main ingredient of oysters in the pot, but also the side ingredients Napa cabbage and Tofu absorb a wonderful shellfish taste.

Curry Udon is hot Udon noodles in a curry soup and is one of the popular items on menus at Udon restaurants in Japan.  These hearty noodles are loved by a lot of Japanese people even though it is not really like the more traditional clear Udon soup.  From time to time, especially in colder months, everyone craves the warmth of rich and heavy flavors of Curry dishes, like Curry Rice and Curry Udon.  Although making authentic Curry Udon is not as simple as just replacing rice with Udon, it is quite easy to make restaurant-style Curry Udon to serve at home.

Broiled Chicken Wings Recipe

Broiled Chicken Wings

Chicken wings called Tebasaki in Japan are one of the most popular items for bar menus as a snack or appetizer dish. Tebasaki is often seasoned and deep-fried or coated with sauce after being fried.  Salty and greasy chicken wings always go perfectly with alcohol drinks.  Broiled Chicken Wings is no exception either, only better.  Our chicken wings are broiled in the oven instead of deep-fried, so they are healthier, and it is easier to clean up afterward since there is not a large amount of hot oil involved. The taste, however, is not compromised at all.  Tebasaki flavored with sesame oil and garlic is very appetizing, and we guarantee that you’ll want to have more chicken and more drinks.
