It’s a Japanese version of Eggnog, but it got to be hot. This alcoholic beverage is called ‘Tamago-zake’ in Japanese, and it is offered to anyone who have a cold, even children. My mother always made it for me when I had a cold. You can burn off the alcohol…

Donabe Genmai Shake Gohan with Ikura and Butter

Tue, 28 Nov 2017 17:00:14 +0000

Well, well, well. If it isn’t a new KyotoFoodie article! And what have I cooked up for you foodies? Donabe Genmai Shake Gohan: grilled salmon cooked with rice, in Kyoto-style dashi broth, of course, in a special clay nabe pot made especially for cooking rice. The rice is served ‘donburi’ style — in a big bowl, garnished with fresh green shiso leaves, heaps of ikura salmon roe and a slab of butter. This dish is lip-smackingly delicious and, very importantly, is something you can probably obtain the necessary ingredients for even if you are not in Japan. Donabe Genmai Shake Gohan with Ikura and Butter - Served The Jargon: Donabe Genmai Shake Gohan donabe lit. clay ‘do’ and ‘nabe’ pot (also called gohan-nabe, or ...

Chocolate Infused Sake from Sushi Secrets

Addicted 2 Sushi — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 10:45:43 +0000

I live in what I like to call “drinkable sake” diaspora. Attending the California Sushi Academy spoiled me. The CEO, Toshi Sugiura, was a Certified Sake Masters Emeritus. You can bet that he introduced us to the delicacies and nuances of fine sake. Unfortunately, many of those fine varieties are well out of reach in my part of the South. Here, we have an abundance of low end boxed stuff that most sushi restaurants offer only hot. And those delicate sake varieties I dream of? Those I enjoy in abundance when travelling. Don’t get me wrong. I still enjoy sake regularly. I make cocktails ...
