Of course you can buy these items online, but then you miss out on the shopping experience! You know, being able to pick the items up and look at them up close. Hi Jessica,

It sits inside the sink and is a basket for trimmings. Its plastic and has a net that hangs inside. I can't find it anywhere. Do you know what it is called and where I can find it online? Thanks!

Do you have any idea what the name of this is and where I can get one?

If you give me a bit of time, I'll try to dig up some recipes for you that are as authentic as possible. I'll have to refer to friends and family, though, because I actually have never tried Okinawa noodles before! the only Okinawan food I have ever tried was chanpuru. sorry about this! Hi Autumn,

I just moved back to the U.S. and I would love to make it at home. Just curious if you know the correct way to prepare Okinawa Soba.

After a few minutes in the soup, it will return to its delightfully glutinous and chewy texture. If it's been left outside uncovered, though, which is often the case for New Year ornaments, make sure to wipe the mochi off before adding it to your soup, as it may have a layer of dust unsavoury for the palate! Enjoy the New Year!! Hi Jackie,

I cannot read Japanese and only know how to prepare fresh mochi. How do you prepare mochi that is dried and hard as a rock. I cannot read Japanese and only know how to prepare fresh mochi.
