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

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

How to Make a No-Rice Handroll (Low Carb Sushi Hack) Marinated tuna with toasted sesame seeds, wasabi, takuan, and chives, wrapped without rice for a high-protein, low-carb sushi snack. If you’re in Seattle and craving sushi but want something lighter, this is one of my go-to moves. Save this for later 🍣 #cooking

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

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 👇
