When Lon went to Sushi Yasuda for lunch (without ME!), he saw our Chef Tomura, who had just returned from Japan a few days earlier. To our total surprise, he brought us a gift, rice crackers from Japan. I’m floored by the sweet gesture. To me, everything from Japan is magical, a land where food is revered. The packaging is distinct, beautiful and decorated with restraint.
The rice crackers seemed to be flavored with a little soy and maybe some nori. They’re exceptionally light, airy and crisp, refined in the way you expect Japanese products to be. I’m dying to go to Japan one day, but until then, thank you Chef Tomura for bringing a little piece of it back for me.
Those look AMAZING. I am just starting to get my feet wet in Japanese cuisine/ snacks. I’m ready to get over the California roll and try something new.
Turtle, oh boy are you in for a treat. California rolls are nothing compared to real Japanese rolls.
I am quite fond of Japanese rice crackers. Its sweet of them to get some for you. i had picked up some turkish delight for an avuncular gentleman at candies who always ensured that we are served evenif they are very crowded. Unfortunately he has moved to another branch
The knife – not enough people use avuncular; great usage.
Knife and K&S;, I had to look up what avuncular meant. haha
tortiSophistry is my middle name. I guess in India we can be a bit pedantic. This applies to my community of Bengalis who often think of themselves as the guardians of the British Empire. I am going to a Japanese food festival in the local catering college next Sunday. We went there last year and it was pretty good. I am going a bit slow on finely chopped right now as I am updating posts on Turkey on my travel blog. But the Turkey food scene rocked and I will get to that soon
that should read ‘sophistry’. The visual recognition word got pasted too
You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation but I to find this matter to
be really one thing that I believe I’d by no means understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely vast for me.
I’m taking a look ahead to your subsequent post, I’ll attempt to get
the hold of it!
