Eating Japan

This category will introduce you to the meals my family and I enjoy, including what my mom and dad eat, and give you a glimpse into a typical Japanese dinner table. You’ll see dishes we cook at home and sometimes what we eat when we go out.

I might also share recipes for traditional Japanese dishes and popular home-cooked meals, so please check it out!
