Tororo soba 🥢
During the hot summer months, I crave cold tororo soba topped with grated Japanese mountain yam.
That said, it feels like the end of summer is getting closer.

Homemade natto 🫘
I think there are probably very few people in Japan who make their own natto. However, I like it because it turns out nice and chunky, with big beans that are satisfying to eat😊

My everyday breakfast 🍚
I eat natto and an onsen egg over brown rice. I also have chicken and vegetables.
I’ve been eating natto every morning since I was a child🫘

Summer 🍉
By the way, in Japan we have a tradition called suikawari (watermelon splitting). It's a game where people wear a blindfold, hold a stick, and try to smash a watermelon. After it's broken open, everyone eats it together. 🍉
