a one minute Japanese side dish
This is a simple side dish for serving along side a main meal. Blanche in hot slightly salty water for 30 seconds, then serve with a dash of soy sauce. I don’t know much about Okahijiki, heres the Okahijiki wiki
Cheap Japanese style pottery
Since I’ve been back in Japan I’ve been busy buying various things for our new home, here are some of the dishes that I’ve bought recently. Both me and my husband like the pottery in Japan. Rather than having dishes of a similiar series, like wedgewood or portmeirion (which my mother-in-law likes) it’s common to mix dishes. The majority of the dishes in the picture were bought for just 100yen from the ‘hyaku yen store’. Hyaku yen is about 1 US dollar or 50p in the UK.

Saizeriya, a cheap and cheerful Japanese Italian ‘Family Restaurant’
I’ve been back in Japan for around a month and a half. One of the biggest difference between England and Japan are the the restaurant prices and the quality of food. I enjoyed English food in general, but for a meal in England it would probably cost a lot less in Japan.
