What is your favorite type of sushi?

For me, my favorite is tuna! Though I love yellowtail and albacore as well 🤤🤤

おべんとうや西のロゴマークとツール類のデザイン。京都御苑近く、土日祝日だけやっているおべんとうやさん。西は店主の名字からきている。ロゴの西の横線がお箸のようになっているシンプルかつ遊び心あるデザイン。手ぬぐい等に使われているイラストは店主自らのペン画からおこしたもの。店主の仕事柄、撮影などでモデルさんとかに評判だったグルテンフリーや野菜の彩り、本物の手仕事のある美味しさがお店になりました。多分女性は絶対好きだと思う。男性にはカレーがおすすめ。京都で撮影やワークショップをしている人達は配達がおすすめ。

Hi everyone! We apologize for the unannounced hiatus but Beni is back and welcome back to Let’s Not Starve! For the month of MARCH we are working with TEA! Everyone’s (well, many) slightly bitter yet wonderfully fragrant beverage is going to take center stage this month. Enjoy!

TEA - OCHAZUKE PARTY

Lots of people who aren’t native to Japan may not know about Ochazuke (お茶漬け), but it is a common dish for them! It involves two main ingredients: tea and rice. Lady A first learned about this delicious treat when staying with a friend who lives in Tokyo. She is a native japanese girl that welcomed Lady A into her home for a week and cooked delicious homestyle meals. Ochazuke was one of them! Although in Japan, it is commonly made with instant packets now (at least if you’re lazy like us), but Lady A decided to make it from scratch this time!

If anyone who is Japanese notices that Lady A made a mistake, please feel free to send a message. She wants to make it right!!!

For the bowl, Lady A used shirataki rice because she is still trying to cut back on carbs but USUALLY you will use shortgrain rice. She topped it with slices of Ahi tuna, broccoli, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and crispy shallots. Lady A used dashi seasoning and a oolong tea in the seeper because she thought it would give a richer flavor to the broth (it did!). On the side we have some super yummy and so so juicy prawns ;)

Pour the hot broth over the rice and toppings to lightly cook the tuna and it is a very delicious and very healthy meal. Please try this and let Lady A know if you had success~
