About Me

- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Oh my goodness, ikura donburi! It is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Though I'm not a roe fan, your ikura donburi looks good. I like miso soup.

It sure does. I heard that choline in miso prevents alcohol went into the liver to be stored as fat, and having miso soup when you woke up with hangover would help excreting alcohol. Good stuff. :) I had both miso soup and tomato juice, and I think it helped ……………………… some.

Wow, thanks for the big word. I gotta buy a new dictionary. ;)

Thanks. My mom always says that she hates salmon roe because it tastes like “fish liver oil” that she was forced to have when she was a child.
ohhh obachan,
I want me some miso soup too. Do you have a recipe for it? I have both sweet and the other miso in my fridge. Just never used it to make soup :P

I hope this is correct ... I had help, but any errors are mine alone.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and thank you for all the good posts, great foods and wonderful photos.
God bless, Christine in Los Angeles
Simple. One of my favorite things to eat.

Mmmm…I wonder what kind of miso you have… because some kind of very sweet miso with barley grains is not used for making miso soup. But if your miso are both regular ones, mixing 2 different miso will result in a better flavored miso soup, they say. Here’s a miso soup recipe for a lazy person (like me ) that I posted last year, which calls for instant dashi powder. If you have time and bonito flakes, you might want to try this recipe, or other similar recipes available on the net.

Yeah, I love the way ikura looks….Tasty jewelry, right?

Oh, thank you very much for the greetings in Japanese!
I always appreciate your friendly comment to my blog.
I wish you a wonderful new year, too.

No, it’s mitsuba that I had in my kitchen and it was a leftover from…. don’t ask me. I was very impressed to see how long it can survive in a water-filled glass.
I read about an instant miso-drink that is popular(?) somewhere in Kyushu. To make the drink, they mix miso, sugar and bonito flaks (fine type) in a saucepan over mid-heat, stirring well until the mixture is glossy, remove from heat, cool and store. When you have a hangover, all you have to do is put a spoonful in a mug and pour boiling water and stir. It’ll make an instant miso-drink and you don’t need to put any other ingredients like miso soup. Actually I have some in my fridge. Pretty handy.
I love ikura. Maybe I'll stop at the grocery store and buy some tomorrow, because now I want to eat this! I don't have mitsuba but I do have nori.
Would shiso taste totally wrong in this combination? I love its flavor.
Hi Jen,
I don’t think it’s wrong at all! It’s a very popular combination I think. I’ve seen an ad of ikura that said something like “Eat with wasabi, nori and shiso leaves.”
So, get some shiso leaves and enjoy your ikura-don! :)
I just saw ikura at Isetan yesterday - now I wish I bought that as your donburi looks so good.
I'm jealous. I've never been to Isetan in my entire life. :(
