Washism

On a lazy sunday after supermarket shopping...

Mentaiko wafu spaghetti

Sakura mochi. (Mochi wrapped red bean paste and cradled in a sakura leaf)

Kashiwa (oak leaf) mochi with miso paste

My first time having this and somehow the miso paste reminds me of the green bean paste angukueh which is one of my favourites too. But this miso paste has a milder taste and i think i prefer this. Or rather, green bean paste should be made less sweet!

Dinner was full course Japanese because i had so much time today at home =)

Grilled sardines, kinpira, chilled komatsuna with sour plum dressing, chawanmushi and miso soup
Called iwashi, they come from the sardine family which has edible bones.

Simply salt grilled.

Bought about 30 of these for only 260yen!!! Quite a steal isnt it?

So fresh that it can be eaten as sashimi, but we prefer it grilled. =P

Gonna look for more sardine recipes to finish up the lot or else each time i open the fridge, i get dozens pairs of eyes staring at me. >.<
