I'm taking Japanese food course in Tsuji cooking school this year so I cooked a lot of Japanese food at home this summer.  The great thing about Japanese food is that many of it doesn't really require cooking but just to cut or slice and ready to serve.

Especially my hometown Kumamoto has an excellent quality of ingredients; vegetables, fruits, fish and meat.  Because the quality of the ingredients is so good you don't need to do too much.  Even for the cooking simple is the best as just to salt and pepper or light boiling.

「和食の素晴らしさ」今年は辻で日本料理を習っているので、和食をよく料理した。和食の素晴らしさは日本の食材の良さに尽きるかもしれない。日本の食材、特に熊本の食材は野菜、果物、魚、肉全てクオリティーがとても高く、料理する必要がないほどだ。夏なので、野菜や豆腐など切っただけのものがとても美味しかった。実家でした料理。自分用記録です。
