April 3, 2018 by KozmoKitchen Leave a Comment

I have been super-charged for the wonderful opportunity to travel to Japan with you this fall. It’s sad to report that due to some logistic issues about hotel reservations in one of the destinations, the tour has been pulled off…A new schedule has not been determined yet, but we’re planning to revisit it in a few months.

Thank you all who helped me spread the words, and those who signed up for the trip. I really hope we can make it happen soon since my home country Japan is a fascinating destination with so many surprises in each every way.

If you have any questions please let me know at kozmosalon@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Kanako

Are you Craving Japanese Comfort Food?

There is a genre called “Yoh-shoku” in Japanese cuisine. It’s Japanized European food, using ingredients that are not used in traditional cooking, such as butter, milk, cream and cheese.

Are you surprised? Intrigued? Then give it a try to one of the most popular yoshoku dishes – Doria and Menchi Katsu.

Doria is a delicious rice gratin–and the ultimate Japanese comfort food! This doria is chock-full of ingredients and brimming with flavor. It has 4 kinds of cheese, (Gruyere, Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Parmesan) with crimini mushrooms, green peas, onion and chicken. All coated in a wonderful bechamel sauce. A perfect entree by itself. Or enjoy it as a side dish. Perfect for these cold late winter evenings! Serves two to three adults.

Menchi Katsu for th is hamburger patty made of beef and/or pork and onion, breaded and deep fried. It’s a great pub food and can be enjoyed as a satisfying entree at dinner. I am offering menchi katsu made from scrach in the form of a bento. Take the bento home and just enjoy. No dish cleaning is required.

Order these delicious meals now!

I got exciting news! I will be fulfilling a long time dream to lead my first culinary tour in Japan. I am partnering with Seattle-based Ponte Travels to offer the tour this fall. Check out details and link to Ponte website below. We will kick off this incredible adventure in Osaka, and then spend time in Kyoko, Kanazawa, Noto Peninsula and Tokyo. The itinerary offers a great balance of culinary and cultural experiences. We can stroll through local streets, try some street food, and even learn some Japanese cooking in Japanese homes (no, I will not be the teacher :D). Let’s make very special memories in Japan together!

Travel occurs from Nov 4 to Nov. 14 (11 days), 2018
The itinerary details are available at http://www.pontetravels.com/departures/culinary-adventures-in-japan2/ (Contact Susan Cathcart susan@pontetravels.com)
Extended travels are available. Ask Susan for details.

This is a dream opportunity for me, as I’ve always wanted to share the incredible, authentic Japanese food with you, in Japan!
