This Wednesday (24.07), it's Doyo no Ushi no Hi (土用の丑の日), also known as Unagi Day!

Unagi Day is an unique summer tradition in Japan, where people eat unagi🐟 (freshwater eel).

The tradition of eating Unagi during summer started in the Edo period.
It is said that eating food that starts with う(u), protects against the intense summer heat and humidity.
Unagi is rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins E & A.

To celebrate the summer, we're offering 2 special unagi dishes next week (22.07 - 27.07)

- Inari Unagi 🍚🐟🌿, Fried tofu skins filled with rice, vegetables & unagi kabayaki
- Unagi Onigiri 🍙, Rice ball w/ unagi kabayaki filling & wrapped in crispy seaweed.

And of course, Unagi don 🍚🐟, which is available all year round.
- Unagi Don, rice topped with unagi kabayaki (grilled Freshwater eel seasoned with sweet soy sauce)

📸 #2 - At our shop, you can also find unagi kabayaki sauce to season eel🐟 at home, or if you're in a hurry, you can get the premade Unagi kabayaki(frozen).

Introducing you to another way to eat various veggies!🥬🌶️💚
A while back we posted a reels of all the different kinds of Korean side dishes we have available at our shop.

Banchan (side dishes) are an essential part of any Korean meal and is eaten along with soup and rice creating a well balanced meal. These side dishes are usually made with veggies but there's also plenty made with fish or beans and are meant to be shared.

A well known banchan is Kimchi!🥬🌶️
Kimchi is made from fermenting vegetables, usually with (napa)cabbage. Cabbage kimchi, is super yummy as a side dish but also in stews or in savoury Korean pancakes.

At our shop you can find various premade seasoning sauces to make banchan from cabbage, scallions and spinach. Of course you can also use other veggies.
They're super easy to use; cut up the vegetables in bite-sized pieces and mix them with the sauce. For about 100g of vegetables use 30-35g of sauce - adjust to your liking.

💭✍🏼Let us know your favourite banchan!
