Authentic Japanese Home Cooking
The same karaage bento, which was a bit hit for lunch, is now available through Josephine! If you live in North Seattle or can come by to pick up on Feb 22 (Wed), you should give it a try to my Karaage bento! You’ll love it and come back for more 😀
Order now at https://www.josephine.com/meals/japanese-karaage-bento/
Looking forward to meeting you in person!
While working on setting up a commercial kitchen for big projects, I just started sharing my home cooked meals with my neighbors so that I can get to know them better as I would love them to know me too 🙂
As my introduction to authentic Japanese home cooked meals, I picked a miso soup and rice balls, both of which are the core of our comfort food. I hope to meet many neighbors through my food!
If you live near North Seattle and are interested in trying my hearty Ton Jiru (pork and vegetable miso soup) accompanied with a few kinds of rice balls (chicken & veggies, red basil & tofu teriyaki) please place an order through the Josephine.com order form at https://www.josephine.com/meals/japanese-pork-miso-soup-and-rice-balls

Finally! I will start my bento delivery services next week (probably on Wednesday). It’s sort of a trial project at this point, and there will be some adjustment and improvement as I go. Stay tuned for more details! Or contact kozmokitchen.gmail.com for more info.
The bento for next week (the date is TBD) is Karaage Bento. The delivery locations will be a few buildings on the Microsoft campus. If that goes well, I might be able to expand delivery areas to Seattle such as downtown, Fremont, etc, but I’ll need to use some help to arrange the delivery locations.
Anyhow, here is the current menu:
Karaage (Japanese fried chicken)
Potato salad
Tamago yaki (rolled omelet)
Ingen Gomaae (green beans with sesame dressing)
Nasu Agebitashi (fried eggplant in dashi broth)
Kyuri Karahizuke (cucumber quick pickled in mustard brine)
Ginger rice (rice cooked with fresh ginger)
Note: Contains meat (chicken), eggs, no dairy. Contains wheat in soy sauce.
It’s fall. Everything tastes better. But if you live in the Northwest, Matsutake is the king of the fall flavors. Its aroma is just mesmerizing and makes you so happy and grateful. I am not a mushroom hunter but luckily have some wonderful (and generous) friends that delivered hand-picked local matsutake to my house!! If you don’t have such friends, you can check out any Asian grocery stores nearby. I am pretty sure they have matsutake available now but hurry! The mushrooms will not last long.
Here is one of the matsutake recipes you can try and enjoy within an hour.
