Legend has it that Vega and Altair, who are separated by the Milky Way, are allowed to meet only once a year on the night of Tanabata or July 7th.
It is said that if you write your wish on a tanzaku (a strip of paper) and hang it on a bamboo grass, your wish will be granted.
A few years ago, my son Kengo wrote that he wanted to be like me. And this year, it seems that he wishes to be a firefighter!
From ancient times, it has been customary to eat somen noodles in the Milky Way in Tanabata. Today, somen is served for lunch at my son’s kindergarten. My son loves somen noodles, so he also had somen noodles for dinner at home.

Happy weekend! My family and I went to the Roppongi area. I like the Roppongi area because there are imported food supermarkets that I love and there are some parks that children can enjoy. For lunch, we ate Hitsumabushi and went to a cafe. My daughter goes back and forth between me and my husband. And eat well, eat well. She ate her favorite egg pudding and was in a good mood from beginning to end. Recently, she has been able to eat with her own spoon and fork, which has made me easier.
In this video, I will show you how to make Grilled Rice Balls (Yaki Onigiri). In my previous video, I introduced the basic grilled onigiri recipe: Classic style and Modern style. This time, I’ll introduce two additional flavors; Okaka & Cheese and Miso & Shiso. I’ll also introduce Japanese style breakfast ideas with these Yaki Onigiri.
Menu:
– Miso soup with rape blossoms, shiitake mushrooms and fried tofu [Recipe]
– mini Ogigiri [Recipe]
– Tofu salad [Recipe]
– Salmon Nanbanzuke [Recipe]
– Yogurt topped with marmalade and strawberry jam

Home-style rice crackers.Kengo and I made home-style (easy!) rice crackers by combining the trial production of new recipes and activities with children.
First, we combined steamed Japanese rice and ingredients found in the kitchen, and put in a microwave for several minutes. And it’s done! Too easy?!
3 Kinds:
– Tenkasu (tempura batter) and aonori seaweed + soy sauce
– Black sesame seeds and cheese + salt
– White sesame seeds, cheese and dried shrimp + sesame oil and soy sauce
