#1 Among our favorite Japanese recipes for summer, Garlic Lemon Chicken & Rice Donabe combines tender chicken, fragrant garlic, bright lemon, and Japanese short-grain rice cooked together in a traditional donabe. Finished with butter, scallions, and cracked black pepper, this comforting one-pot meal balances fresh citrus with rich umami while showcasing the beauty of donabe cooking.

#2 This refreshing addition to our collection of Japanese recipes blends heirloom tomatoes, ripe peaches, fresh mozzarella, basil, and toasted sesame seeds with a vibrant basil-yuzu ponzu dressing. Inspired by classic Italian Caprese, it brings Japanese flavors into a light, colorful summer salad perfect alongside grilled dishes and donabe rice.
