Genevieve: Recently I’ve been kicking around other blogs to see what I could find on Japanese cooking. Turns out there are a ton of really great blogs out there filled with helpful information and great recipes.

Here’s a short list:

Yakusoku’s home cooking a really charming site featuring food and menus by a Japanese woman, translated by her daughter.

Obachan’s kitchen written by an American living in Japan. She does interesting east meets west dishes.

Sushiday: Sushi, sushi and more sushi. 

Blue Lotus: A Canadian living in Tokyo. I wish she wrote her recipes down! But her food descriptions are nice.

Bento: I just love this Japanese girl’s pics and the fact that she makes these beautiful bento boxes for herself to eat.

Bento.com: This site is great. Not only are there recipes, but there are also restaurant reviews, food features, lists of places to visit, you name it.

Dr. Stonieloves Bewildered Beast: The writer is vegan and has all sorts of delectable sounding recipes.

Oh and while I’m at it, I found this cool site on Miso (if you haven’t eaten it, you should try it–it’s really simple to make and delicious!)

Oh and I also can’t leave out My Korean Kitchen a blog on Korean and Korean fusion food–on a recent trip to Korea in November, I was in heaven! I love, love Korean food! They serve pickles with everything and they use a TON of garlic. Apparently, Walter could smell it on random people’s skin when we were walking around Seoul. I think I had eaten too much of it myself to have noticed.  Another good thing is that Kenji loves spicy food–including kimchi!
