We had a Japanese style meal for dinner tonight, per my husband’s request.
We both enjoy this kind of meal, but we usually don’t eat like this.
It’s not that it takes time to prepare, but I make a western style meal out of habit.
It was nice that he asked me, because when I do prepare a meal like this, I really enjoy the whole process, from cooking, choosing dishes, plating, and to of course eating.
I don’t have a lot of Japanese dishes, but many of what I have are white x blue.
I have a small collection of chopstick rests.
This is a new addition.
I got it from our recent trip to Japan.
Can you tell what it is?
It’s a slice of bitter melon.
My husband ate the same thing, except for Natto.
White rice.
Garbanzo bean, pea, scallion miso soup.
Sesame carrots.
Lemon feta zucchini.
Hiya-yakko (cold tofu) with tomato, fried onion, scallion, and a drizzle of soy sauce.
