Uramakisushi

Recently this Uramakisushi ( seaweed is inside )  is very popular especially outside Japan. Ura means back in Japanese. Uramakisushi is a little bit easier to make than ordinal makisushi which seaweed is outside. This time I made salmon and cucumber makisushi.

Kungsträdgården

It was a beautiful weather today. I went to Kungsträdgården to see cherry blossom with my friends.
It was so breautiful. I always enjoy seeing cherry blossom because I can feel like being in Japan.

Cooking class- matlagningskurs

There are 2 people coming to my Japanese cooking class. We cooked Tonkatsu , Teriyakichicken and Japanese curry rice. It was enjoyrable time!  They never cooked Japanese food.  Of course this was the first time for them to eat the Japanese food they cooked.  After tasting, both of them said " I really like Japanese curry rice."

Udon- Japanska nudlar

Udon is one of my favorite noodles and my family living in Japan sent my favorite Udon.
Udon are white and thick wheat noodles which are basically made by kneading wheat flour. Dried, pre-boiled, and fresh udon are available at supermarkets in Japan. 
There are several Udon dishes in Japan. Udon is served either warm or cold. I prefer cold Udon during summer. Cold noodle is eaten by dipping into mentsuyu which is soy sauce flavored dashi soup. You can also add some toppings such as grated fresh ginger, chopped leek, sesame seeds, wasabi.

Cherry blossom in Japan - Sakura

Sakura means cherry blossom in Japanese. Sakura is one of my favorite flowers and it is the most loved flower for Japanese.
My parents sent some pictures of cherry blossom last week.  Now Cherry blosson i Tokyo is almost over....and making pink carpet on the ground.

Japansk frukost ( Japanese breakfast)

I often have Japanese breakfast on weekends.  Traditionally Japanese breakfast come with rice, miso-soup and some dishes.
My favorite is Natto which is fermented beans.  Natto is very characteristic smell and taste but it is very tasty and healthy.
