Sushi Basics: Know Your Sashimi from Your Nigiri | The M Point of View Whether you’re a long-time sushi fan or a beginner when it comes to Japanese cuisine, with its high-popularity, chances are you’ve tried a piece or two. Sushi is a relatively recent arrival in the U.S. food scene, having first been served in the 1950’s. Now its wide availability ranges from plastic trays at your corner store to the hands of our professional sushi chefs at the Oyster Bar. It’s never been easier to consume this delightful specialty for a special occasion or a quick lunch. Even with soaring demand, it’s easy to be perplexed by all the sushi choices, not knowing the different types of fish and whether or not they are served raw. Common Terms Maki – sushi rolled up using a bamboo mat. Nigiri – sliced raw fish with a molded ball of rice underneath. Sashimi – sliced raw fish served without rice. Basics The base of most sushi is a special variety of rice called awase-zu. Not all sushi has to be eaten with chopsticks.
What's Your Maid Cafe Match? Maid cafes are themed restaurants in which waitresses dress as maids and address their customers as “master” and “mistress.” It may sound kinky, but there’s nothing kinky or sexual about these cafes. Originating in Akihabara, some of these cafes have branched out to other locations, not only in Tokyo but also in the rest of Japan, although many of them are situated in places where otaku are known to hang out. Maid cafes don’t really have mainstream appeal—most of their repeat customers are otaku and/or fans of the maids—but to foreigners, these cafes are one of Japan’s pop culture icons. They’ve even spawned other maid-related services, such as ear-cleaning services done by maids. There are different types of maid cafes (and offshoots) to suit different tastes, so read on to see which maid cafe suits you! First, though, here are some rules of engagement at most maid cafes: Don’t touch the maids. Without further ado, here are a few maid cafes to suit your preferences! Location Map: Map Data
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes Updated 9/22/11 to Add: If you’re coming here to sample these delicious Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, you just might like the latest recipe that I’ve posted for Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. And Gingerbread- Cinnamon Roll Pancakes too. Enjoy! Here’s a short video sharing how to make these delicious pancakes: If you’ve ever thought you needed a reason to eat pancakes, today is the day: National Pancake Day! How do you like your pancakes? But recently I started dreaming about mixing cinnamon rolls and pancakes together… and this is what I came up with- my new favorite pancake: Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I have a wonderfully fluffy pancake batter that I like to use (recipe below) so I swirled a bit of cinnamon roll filling into the pancake. And they cooked up just like a pancake- fluffy, but with craters of crusty, sugary cinnamon swirled within. You might find three of these stacked in a fancy breakfast restaurant, but I’m gonna tell you that one pancake is all you need. Oh yeah. Ingredients:
Curry Grilled Zucchini Roll Ups This recipe was a total accident. Kelsey was over for dinner the other week and we both contributed whatever vegetables we had in our fridge. Our plan was to make a big pot of quinoa, grill a boat-load of veggies, top them with goat cheese + avocado, eat from a massive bowl, and feast. I started the pot of quinoa with a few Italian seasonings thrown in before thinking about how we were going to spice the veggies. Then I asked Kelsey what flavor she was in the mood for, for the veggies. Barbeque sauced, herby, smoked, Mexican, curry spiced? She jumped all over curry spiced idea. And who would have thought goat cheese + curry would pair so well together? Why not wrap up curry grilled zucchini with a little goat cheese and roasted red pepper? Print this! Curry Grilled Zucchini Roll Ups [yields 14-18] Hope your Monday is off to a great start! Ashley
Are you eating sushi wrong? Tokyo Barbecue Spots Summer in Japan is commonly associated with BBQs, so here are some places for cheapos to have a nice barbecue party (aside from Yoyogi Park—which is also a great place for a Tokyo barbecue, but is just too popular already since it’s an all-purpose park): 1.

Homemade Tonkatsu Sauce とんかつソース Cheapo hack #4 - Uobei – Flying Sushi Restaurant Let’s face it if you’re a cheapo that doesn’t like sushi then you’re in the wrong city. No where in the world is sushi so good, so fresh, so cheap and so correctly pronounced than in Tokyo and Japan. So I have no shame in publishing yet another Tokyo Cheapo sushi recommendation on our humble little site. Every dish is 105yen – but is it still good? The short answer is yes. But don’t take my word for it, note the 3.1 star rating on the usually rather strict tabelog community. Fun and games Let me be honest, I confess the main motivation for publishing this post today was sadly not to share with you another great cheapo recommendation, it’s actually because I wanted to share with you the prank video a friend of mine recorded whilst we dined there recently, but let me get to that in a minute. Uobei is a fun place to have dinner. Uobei is worth a visit just for the novelty.
Homemade Nutella or Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Recipe - Italian Food and Recipes - Scordo.com (photo: from left to right: processing the ingredients, toasting hazelnuts, final product) Nutella was invented in Italy in the 1940′s and was a response to the shortage of cocoa (given World War II) and a way to extend the chocolate supply in Italy. The company, founded by Pietro Ferrero, used hazelnuts as the extender given the abundance of the nut in northwestern Italy. Nutella is a popular spread throughout the world and even boasts dedicated recipe sites like BellaNutella.com run by our friend Paula. (photo: toasting hazelnuts in a dry pan) Recently, our friend Dr. Here’s the process and ingredient amounts: Toast 1 cup peeled hazelnuts in a dry pan until they are fragrant and golden, then let cool.
