We probably shouldn’t eat too much fried food, but how can you resist katsu (deep-fried pork cutlet)? Along with miso soup and shredded cabbage, we had some ume-garlic, which was yummy. My first time trying it!
By the way, Lani likes to eat her dinner while we eat ours, and here she is waiting for us to fill up her food bowl. 🐶

We love sushi! 🍣❤
The karaage that Mariko makes is always oishii, but tonight we had fresh lettuce leaves too! It was a really nice complement to the savory chicken. It reminded me of eating Korean barbecue with the lettuce leaves. 💗
I hope you had a nice day!

Tonight was curry nite at the Fujimoto house! When Mariko mentions in the morning that we’re having curry, I look forward to it all day – that’s how much I love the dish. And I’m sure she gets tired of me saying, “It’s curry nite!” several times during the day. 😀 But hey, curry is something to celebrate!
This time, the curry had sliced pork in it, which was delicious. A month or so ago I thinly sliced a large piece of pork using our meat slicer. It takes a while to slice a large piece of meat and requires a small amount of elbow grease, but it’s much cheaper than buying pre-sliced pork from H-Mart. We portion out the sliced pork into 200-gram stacks, then freeze for later use. It’s a nice system!
I hope you had a nice, relaxing day.

Tonight we had another Japanese comfort food: nikujaga / 肉じゃが. It’s a beef and potato dish, in a semi-sweet broth. Mariko added a can of quail eggs to the dish and it was excellent!
We also enjoyed eggplant which was grown in our friends’ garden. So delicious. Of course the meal was rounded out with miso soup and steamed rice. I could eat nikujaga every day, it’s so yummy. 😄
I hope you had a great day!
