Thank you both for such a prompt welcoming!

Cassandra, I love sashimi (of course!), onigiri for packing a lunch (umeboshi combined with bonito flakes is my favorite filling — I think anything with umeboshi is delicious), and I’ve recently gotten into oden. Mostly, though, since I don’t usually have all the ingredients to make a traditional meal, I play around with different Japanese sauces and whatever vegetable, meat, or soy product that I have around :)

What do you like to cook? Can you recommend any good books or websites on Japanese cuisine? I only know a few.
