oh man i'm gonna read these are so many
okay sakura

yuzu peel oh yeah
[Applause]
super nice super nice how was yours mine
is very nice green team flavor
but this haku is made of the japanese
rice so do you guys mind i get started
[Music]
so this one we made to pair with this
drink yeah it goes really well
we went with a teriyaki sauce because
okay i'm gonna go for this one this one
can be just salt and pepper right it
doesn't have to be yeah
no but this is a really classic dish i
feel in japan that you'll see the
asparagus
yeah with meat wrapped on it we are good
chefs we killed it oh my gosh
thank you well done i wish you guys
could try with this drink
like the herbal i don't know the essence
like yeah it really complements it quite
really good yeah but this kind of stuff
you can like it's really easy like to
make at home as well
you know it's the kind of ingredients
that everyone can get okay so
that's great yeah and it's really really
it was really straightforward yeah
so shiori what is your one that you made
was it avocado
it looks really great as well i made the
fancy avocado sashimi
that avocado also you can get everywhere
right
around the world but in japan we usually
eat
avogadro with soy sauce
i've never tried it i'm really excited
and this one will go as well with this
green tea so okay why do you call it
sashimi
oh i know this one oh okay it's actually
apparently similar to like maguro it's
similar to tuna
it has the same texture it has the same
like mouthful oh it's the texture thing
so it's not because it's like raw or
uncooked
no no no no i'm messing this up yeah
my friend doesn't like to and always
gets like macro on rice and he's like
wow it's just like tuna
i don't really see it but it's good oh
with pakchi it's really good with
coriander
mmm yay because normally i would
associate like these kind of
flavors with um like mexican food but
then
you add the soy sauce and the the nori
and it suddenly becomes really japanese
it's really good
i really want to try this dip as well i
don't know oh my gosh
i made that you made it looks amazing i
think this dip was tofu edamame
what tofu edamame yeah that sounds
amazing
it's smart but i'm so excited to try
this
there's so many nuts on it this is great
i think it's so easy to have like a
really satisfying like japanese flavor
picnic at home
i don't know i love lots of little
dishes to try new flavors and try it
like individual
that's my favorite i feel like it's
really easy to cook japanese at home too
so much you have like the main like
ingredients or sauces like soy sauce
medium sake
actually there's a lot of other dishes
that go really well um with these drinks
