#1 Mushroom Takikomi Gohan

Mushroom Takikomi Gohan brings Japanese short-grain rice together with shiitake, maitake, chestnut, and beech mushrooms in a savory blend of mushroom broth, dashi, sake, soy sauce, and mirin. Prepared in a traditional donabe, this Japanese recipe infuses the rice with layers of earthy mushroom flavor and umami.

#2 Toban-Yaki Steak with Shishito Peppers

Toban-Yaki Steak with Shishito Peppers combines tender steak and shishito peppers with sake and a savory butter-shoyu glaze. Prepared on a traditional Japanese toban-yaki donabe grill, quick searing and deglazing create juicy beef, blistered peppers, and layers of rich flavor.
