- Steamed rice with toasted black sesame seeds
- Daikon, ninjin, shantoreru no misoshiru / miso soup with daikon radish, carrot and chanterelle mushrooms, with mizuna
- Atsuage, konnyaku, daikon no happa no miso itame / deep-fried tofu, konkyaku yam cake and daikon radish leaves saute with miso
- Kyuri no shiomomi, shiso iri / Japanese cucumber instant pickle with green perilla leaf
- Fresh tomatoes
Thinly sliced Japanese cucumber is lightly salted. Shiso perilla leaf gives an extra summer taste. Served with fresh tomato wedges, this is a summer dish.
Fall is definitely approaching, as chanterelle mushrooms are appearing. Seasonal ingredients like chanterelles add a special touch to ordinary dishes. Our regular miso soup with daikon radish and carrot instantly becomes a soup of the season. Chanterelles are versatile and stay firm when cooked – they are one of my favorite mushrooms.
Leftover kyonnyaku is combined with atsuage deep-fried tofu for saute with miso. Red chili peppers are added, as they go well with both konnyaku and miso. Spicy and somewhat sweet miso saute is also a perfect match with plain steamed rice.
