sushi is all the small stuff. the rice, the knife, the texture, the technique. things people don’t always notice, but you feel it when it’s there. Takumi is this idea of craftsmanship developed over time. that’s something Lexus really focuses on, and something that connects deeply with the way I look at sushi. #LexusPartner #LexusCulinary

Gyoza tacos might be my new favorite way to eat dumplings 🥟🌮 I turned Ajinomoto Hane-Style Gyoza into crispy gyoza tacos. The hane wing with a little mozzarella makes the perfect crunchy shell. Then just load them up with your favorite toppings. Skip the takeout this week and grab @ajinomotous Hane-Style Gyoza. What would you put in your gyoza taco? #AjinomotoUSPartner #TasteTheHype #AjinomotoGyoza

Hack for the crunchiest frozen gyoza with 1 ingredient. Parmesan. That’s it. Sprinkle parmesan into the pan, add your Hane (H-A-N-E) Gyoza, and let it melt into a golden cheese skirt. Important: this works because @ajinomotous Hane Gyoza already has that built-in crispy skirt on the bottom. The structure is different from other frozen gyoza, other brands won’t crisp the same way. Salty. Crackly. Ridiculously good. You’re welcome. #AjinomotoUSPartner

Homemade soy milk hack 👀 Blend tofu + water. That’s it. It’s about half the price of buying soy milk, tastes way better, and you can control exactly how thick you want it. My preferred ratio: 1 pack tofu : 2 parts water — thick, creamy, and rich. If you like the consistency of the more standard American grocery store soy milks: 1 pack tofu : 3 parts water Blend until completely smooth and you’re done. Simple, cheap, and honestly one of those hacks where I’m like… why haven’t I been doing this forever?

Light, clean, and stupidly good Japanese soup# Tender turnip simmered in seasoned dashi, a little matsutake aroma, fresh greens, yuzu, and a broiled piece of black cod right on top. Simple technique, big flavor. Perfect for cold nights or when you want something comforting but still refined. Recipe is in the video or comments, save it for later. #cooking

Growing up as a Japanese American, finding a sense of identity wasn’t always easy. The Asians I saw in media were usually portrayed as goofy or nerdy, and as a kid it made me wonder who I was supposed to be. It made me quiet and unsure of where I fit in. Then I remember seeing @jettila on TV. For the first time, I saw an Asian face on television who wasn’t playing into a stereotype. He was confident, talented, and completely unapologetic about who he was. Seeing that meant a lot to a kid trying to figure himself out. So being in the room when you received this award was really special. Congratulations on such a well-deserved recognition for your culinary excellence in media. Thank you for being someone we could look up to. Also… the first photo came out great. What would you call this show? @unforgettableawards @optimistak888 @getgoldentv

The last week reminded me of how much this dog means to me. I don’t usually share stuff like this, but I wanted to tell Dodger’s story. A little over a week ago, Dodger got into a bamboo shoot while I wasn’t watching. It wasn’t actually the bamboo shoot that became the problem. His stomach became packed with bamboo leaves that he couldn’t digest. He stopped eating for two days, ended up at the emergency vet on IV fluids, and wasn’t able to go to the bathroom properly. After two nights at urgent care, X-rays, ultrasounds, and countless tests, the doctors put a camera into his stomach and found it covered in bamboo leaves. They were able to remove what they could, and after another day at the hospital, he finally came home. When he got home, it was all about taking it one step at a time. Chicken congee puréed with extra fluid, small meals, lots of rest, and plenty of patience. Even then, he barely moved for two more days. He mostly stayed in one spot, hardly ate, and all we could do was wait. Thankfully, after about a week, he started eating again, moving again, and now he’s back to being himself. The funny part is that I never planned on having a dog. Years ago, my GM told me, “Your personality is basically a Border Collie.” So I called a breeder just to ask a few questions. I told her I didn’t have time for a puppy, and we hung up. About 30 minutes later, she called me back and said there was a dog looking for a new home because he wasn’t getting along with another dog. I met the sweetest couple, took him for a walk, and before I knew it they were sending me home with his crate, toys, food, and everything he needed. I didn’t even bring my checkbook because I had no intention of bringing a dog home that day. Sometimes life has better plans than you do. I’m just incredibly grateful for the time we get to spend together 🐶

Old school Japanese fine dining. Turnips gently braised in dashi until tender, soaking up just enough soy and mirin to bring out their natural sweetness. Quiet, patient cooking, clean flavors, beautiful restraint, and peak seasonal comfort. Recipe in comments #cooking

Mugicha (Japanese roasted barley tea) is the drink I always associate with summer in Japan. ☀️ If you grew up in Japan, chances are there was always a pitcher in the fridge. In this reel, I’m showing three easy ways to brew it: cold brew, hot brew, and a quick brew over ice. It’s naturally caffeine-free, incredibly refreshing, and one of those everyday things that instantly takes me back to childhood summers. What’s another everyday Japanese food or drink you’d like me to share next? 👇🇯🇵

BANANA MILK 🍌🥛 made with tofu! Growing up in a Japanese household, banana milk was always one of those flavors I loved. So I made an easy version using tofu for a little extra protein and creaminess. ¼ pack extra firm tofu 1 banana 1½ to 2 cups ice water, depending how thick you like it 3 tbsp maple syrup Pinch of salt Dash of olive oil Blend everything until completely smooth. That’s it! Also, Calgary! 🇨🇦 I’ll be at GlobalFest August 27 for Japan Night 🇯🇵 Come say hi! Tickets are in my bio. @globalfestyyc

Oyakodon. simple, one pot comfort 🇯🇵 Cooking with @jettila and keeping it easy using tsuyu, a shortcut dashi base that brings everything together fast. Chicken, onion, and eggs simmered, then gently finished for that soft, custardy texture over hot rice. Cover with half the eggs on medium for 1–2 minutes, then finish gently off heat. This is what Japanese home cooking is all about, balance, simplicity, and flavor. A little asmr vibe for the editing Check out the comments for the recipe 👇
