This is a type of nabe in which the main ingredient is kiritanpo (cylinder-shaped rice cake). Kiritanpo is a speciality food in the northeast region of Japan and absorbs the flavorful soup well.

  • Oyako Donburi

    oyakodon Oyako donburi, also known as oyakodon, is my favorite rice bowl. Because the topping is chicken and eggs, this dish is called "oyako" which means parent-and-child in Japanese. It's a delicious one dish meal to have for lunch or dinner.
