✨ NEW! Japanese Rice Brands + Eggplants 🍆


Hi there Reader --

Rice is so important in Japanese cooking, and I realized I hadn’t put together a proper guide on Japanese rice, so I just published a new post all about rice varieties! I’m also planning to create a more detailed guide on Japanese rice soon, so stay tuned. 🍚

Recently, I’ve been running a mini eggplant recipe series on YouTube, and so far, I’ve shared Eggplant Salad, Eggplant Miso Soup, and more are coming. If you’re ever wondering what to cook with eggplant, I hope you’ll check them out for inspiration! 🍆
