Ukatama : Genmai Shokudo
The summer issue of the food lifestyle magazine
Ukatama うかたま is featuring "genmai玄米" -brown rice. To us Japanese, rice is something we can't live without. We eat rice everyday, sometimes 3 times a day - for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's mostly white rice we eat, but it's becoming very "in" to eat brown rice these days. And of course it's good for you. There are so many recipes for brown rice meals in this issue of Ukatama and is very inspiring too.
And .....an exciting news! I won a surprise prize for

Bree - I would have loved it if kangakanga was there when I was in Melb! If they don't have this mag I can scan the recepi pages and send as PDF for you if you like ;)
ReplyDeleteyasu - oishiso desho? by the way I found a cafe called "guenmai" in Paris, apparently they have genmai meals there, do you know it?
Ebony - No you are the cutest & sweetest! Hontoni arigato ;)
what a great magazine!
ReplyDeleteis japanese brown rice sticky too? :)
that magazine makes me hungry...yum.
ReplyDeleteMy background is Chinese & Filipino! I eat rice or some kind of carbs at least 2x a day! I haven't tried sushi made of brown rice, but that would be so interesting as I am used to the taste and texture of white rice on sushi! I am not sure if Chinese food can switch over to brown. It would be interesting to see that as well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the award...well deserved...that food presentation and pictures look superb and make me hungry.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Japanese food is Iwashi, Gohan and Natto.
Iwashi ichi ban iskedes.
Konbawa
oh yeah i know that place! it's quite close to where i live.. but ive never had any meals there. i just went inside and decided not to eat there..it looked quite expensive.. maybe ill try next time though!
ReplyDeleteMary - Japanese brown rice is not that sticky, depends how you cook it I guess. But here we say we should change what to cook it with and the amount of water to put in in winter and summer, so how the brown rice gets sticky or not could depend on the climate too.
ReplyDeleteAnna - yes i know!!! it makes me hungry flipping the pages!
jen laceda - what you can see in these images are not sushi but "nigiri" rice balls. I haven't had brown rice sushi and I wondered if there is any, but actually there is! maybe I should try too!!
Baron's Life - wow your Japanese.... sugoi!! And you like iwashi, gohan and natto!?!? well you could certainly live here! Iwashi oishi des ne ;)
yasu - You live in a nice area! I took a photo of that place not realising the name of it, and later I saw it in the magazine and found out it was genmai cafe!
heeee ~ oishii sou!!!
