the other day I bought locally produced ‘moromi miso’ for the first time. I used it for my miso soup, as well as for dengaku nasu (eggplant marinated with sweetened miso). I really like it!
o’bash crust is a bakery in Tokushima that has vegan cookies, as well as bagels and some other vegan and vegetarian options.
Japanese style pasta
If you’ve been to Japan you have probably seen the wildest adaptions of western food, and pasta is no difference. You can find a lot of Japanese style pasta at restaurants, though the dishes are rarely vegan. My own version is pasta with shiitake and sometimes other mushrooms (such as champignons, enoki, matsutake etc), leek, spinach or komatsuna. Prepared with konbu dashi, soy sauce, mirin, sake and topped with shichimi togarashi, it has a nice umami flavor that goes well with pasta!
