Okonomiyaki

2 eggs
enough water to make […]

Dora Japanese sweets

I am assuming that these tasty little guys are called Dora because that is what the Hiragana says on the package.  They also could be called Ogawa because that is also printed but I think that must be the brand name.  Either way I call them pikelettes filled with “An” paste.
That is simply what they […]

Celebrating the Birth of a new website with Obento
