Look up at the sky

My wife makes "Nukazuke" every year.
Very happy.
I get the rice bran from the rice seller.

Hi, "Soukou no Tuma"
Do your best!!

sometimes I like some japanese food... but there's one kind that I can't support... it has a kind of ginger... (is it? I dont remember the right name now)... and it's terrible... blaaaahhhhhhhh

but most of times, your food is cool

Looks and sounds rather tasty. I'm all for funny smelling foods. In the UK I like food like Blue cheese, which is basically mouldy cheese. My girlfriend hates it but I think it's wonderful

Have a nice weekend.

Pete

P.S. We had snow today in Lancaster. Enough for people to throw snowballs and make snowmen. Was a nice way to end the week.

>>>100 year old Nukamiso!!!

The other day we were chatting about young IT directors who seem to upgrade wives as well as their systems. While I was struggling to find the phrase 'Soukou no Tsuma', I said, "Nukamiso-no-tsuma!!!

How embarassing

フレーフレー（死語？）Soukou no tsuma. Hippo san, you are lucky

Hi! Hippo.
Thank you for reminding me the words"soukoku no tsuma"
I had forgotten this words.It is more beautiful words than "nukamiso kusai onna"(the woman who has nukamiso smell)
and you are really lucky husband!!!

Hi!Beatriz. How's the weather today?
It has a kind of ginger..I want to know that! Hasikami? or..?
What is the best Japanese food for you?

Hi! Peter.
Me too.I like funny smelling foods.
You had a lot of snow! Please enjoy with snowballs!
When I was a child,snow laid 2meters every winter.
I used to jumping from 2 story. It was interesting!!

Hi!Hirokichi.

Yes ,the same with me.I had forgotten the words "soukou no tsuma""(The wife who has supported hard days of her husband)
Maybe because this words is far removed from me.
But.. upgrade wives as well as their system!! It's terrible!!

Well, in brazil there two different seasons, that change in north and south of the country...

When is summer in the São Paulo (south), is winter here in Manaus (north)... and when is winter in São Paulo, is summer to us...

Now summer is going away in São Paulo, and coming to us... but now there are just rain...

Dont know yet if I'll can swim this weekend, cos I love swim too

Hello,

"Nukazuke" looks very interesting. I'm very interested in japanese food because it's very very tasty and healthy. I never heard the name Nukazuke before.
I hope I can taste it somewhere in future, too. But it's no food you cook only on special events in Japan?

Regards,
ハイコ

Hi Aya,
Your blog is really nice! The food is something
that I have never seen. I love seeing the world
through "Opera"

Sarah

Hi!Heiko.
You can make Nukazuke yourself too.It is very simple food.

Special food..I made Hina sushi on 3 March.
There are some special foods for special event in Japan.
Especially women are very busy for making various kinds of dishes before New Year.


How is Germany?

Hi!Sarah.
Nice to meet you!
Thank you very much for visiting my blog.
When I go to foreign country,the food is the most interesting things for me.I feel I can see the country from its food.

Hello Aya

I will definitely try to eat Nukazuke.
Some weeks ago, after my final exams, I went with some fellow students to a "running Sushi restaurant" in Munich. It was very tasty! I never ate Sushi before. So this was my first Sushi in my life. I will go again, because it was very tasty!
I heard after new year you often eat "Osetsi-ryouri" in Japan. I heard it's very famous in Japan.

In Germany we have special food for special events, too. Like on christmas day, new years eve and other special events. But I guess it changes from family to family. At christmas day chicken food is very very common here.
Do you know german food?

Thank you very very much for adding me as friend! I'm very happy! I added you, too.

Best regards!
Jaa, matane

美味しい??

my friends recently got a plan: to set up a small shop selling sushi~~^^
and they tried doing some for a test last weekend~~
put cucumber~~dried pork floss~~pickled carrot~~salad sausage~~as stuffing~~
is it the right way to doing sushi?
hehe~~just because they tested so much~~we had to finish them all~~
delicious, right!^^ but...too much -- --;;
got any suggestion for doing that?
thanks in advance

Hi! MMchong!
It sounds delicious!
In Japan,we make sushi with raw fish.
But there are "Califolnia role". That ingredient are vegetables salad in the rice.
I think if you use vinegared rice,it is called as Sushi.
So,I hope your friend's shop will be prosperous!

Hi Aya and friends !

I am new to this forum and very happy to finally find a blog from a japanese woman ! Not because I want to have a romantic pen-pal ;-), my wife won't let me haha, but because I am very interested in Japanese food.

In fact, I found your blog by Googling "nukazuke" !

First a small introduction of myself, where are my manners:
My name is Edwin Witsen, I live in Holland.
I have my own business, I am a Locksmith.
I am married ( Wife Patricia ) and have 2 very cute daughters, Joline and Ehlin.

My hobbies are:
Cooking, especially Japanese food
Jiu-Jitsu ( my Sensei has been to Japan for traditional education )
Computergames

For me it's not that easy to make Nukazuke, because rice-bran is not available at the local asian-store.
In a place near Amsterdam, where most Japanese people live, there is a Japanese grocery store, I will have to go there and try it !

I have seen recipes for this before, but I have to say I am surprised to see that you have mixed the rice-bran with miso ! Do you have to store it in a refridgirator or can it be kept at room temperature ? Does the Miso really stay good for 100 years ?
Most recipes I found were just rice-bran, water and salt.

Maybe we can write each other for recipes ?

greetings,

WhizKey ( you know, Whiz-Key, locksmith )

I am attempting to make my first batch of Nukazuke using a packaged mix I found. A question I have that I have not been able to find an answer to is, once you put the vegetables in the mixture, do you need to mix daily or is it just the mix itself that needs daily mixturewhen it is not being used?
