Dubbed as the “important river flowing through a plain” in Ainu language, Sapporo 札幌 is all about all-seasons outdoor fun, amazing food, shopping and entertainment galore, and its palpable unique character.

I’ve been growing shiso in my backyard for a while. A kind and generous JOC reader, Bobby, gifts us a few red and green shiso plants every year. I’ve been successfully growing them along with my own shiso, which I planted from seeds I harvested the previous summer Shiso is my absolute favorite Japanese herb, so you can imagine how happy I am that I can now harvest them in my own yard....
What is Spatchcock Chicken? Though the origin of the culinary term ‘spatchcock’ is unclear, it has been around since at least the 18th century. Spatchcock chicken (スパッチコックチキン) is also called ‘butterflied’ chicken, and it is a popular way to prepare a whole chicken. Essentially, it involves removing the backbone and sternum from a whole chicken and flattening it. Since the chicken is butterflied, it cooks quicker and more evenly than traditional roasting....
Honey-Sriracha Grilled Salmon Recipe Marinate the Salmon. Place the salmon in a large zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate at least 15 to 20 minutes. Sunny days call for long, lazy visits to the backyard where we can sit and enjoy a cocktail or two and have a quick and easy dinner. Salmon typically fits that description. It grills up quickly and it goes with so many types of flavors....
Hopefully this helps you find some relief with your burning skin. Honestly, this happens to the best of us. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to alleviate the jalapeno burn or chili pepper burn from your skin and from eating hot peppers. Capsaicin is the substance that makes chili peppers “hot” and spicy, so avoiding the oil is the ideal way to go. However, we often forget to wear gloves or just don’t think of it, which can cause burning not only on the hands, but on other sensitive parts of the body that you touch with your hands, particularly your eyes....

The Flavour The word Khatta means sour. It is a flavour I really like - lemon, lime, grapefruit, anything that hits that note really does it for me. I suspect that this recipe is traditionally made with Imli (Tamarind) which yields a well rounded sweet and sour profile. My mothers Masoor Dal with it’s tomato-ey goodness also hits those notes, but this recipe is quite different. What makes this Khatti Dal Special The biggest difference between this Khatti Dal and any other recipe on the blog is the Baghaar....

It’s a classic dessert that has been extremely popular since the 80s....

A warm cup of Matcha Latte (抹茶ラテ) was one of my guilty pleasures back in the day when I was working in the office. I used to swing by Starbucks in the afternoon to get their matcha latte with just one pump of syrup. I soon realized that making a matcha latte at home is really easy (you don’t need any fancy barista skills or equipment) and costs only a fraction of the latte price from the big coffee chains....

If you missed our first post for the Hiroshima/Kyushu trip, here are the links to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and Hiroshima Castle....
Ingredients needed 🧾 How to make it 🔪 More savory pancake recipes Recipe 📖 Growing up, I don’t remember even a single day when mom has not made a hot breakfast for us. She would insist that we eat a meal before we leave the house.
