My Favorite Japanese Recipes

The foods of Japanese izakayas are among the most beloved in the world. There’s not a chef in the country who doesn’t try his or her hand at ramen, soba, egg custards, robata-style fish, sashimi, yakitori, goya and so on. Surprisingly, though, very few home cooks do. Making Japanese food at home requires having a few pantry items like dashi on hand, so take a trip to your local Asian market and fill your cabinets with the essentials. Once you have the ingredients, cooking these recipes is fun and easy.
