Biting into a perfectly crispy fried shrimp is so satisfying. The 10 grams of fat per serving? Not so satisfying. This dish has all the crunch, with much less fat.

A yummy recipe passed down from my mother in law

yummy eggplant witha light sauce

It's the yum yum sauce you always need seconds of at the Japanese steak house. Goes great with shrimp, steak, chicken, veggies, just about everything!

Adzuki beans or Red Beans are very popular as a dessert item in Japan.

Adzuki Bean desserts are not as sweet as our American desserts. We love sugar and do not consider this high protein treat as highly as it's health benefits deserve.

Use a mixture of Splenda and granulated sugar to bring it to a sweeter taste if you desire.

Here is some great advice from: LYNNETH7

*1 tsp of matcha is as beneficial as up to 6 tsp of brewed green tea leaves because you actually eat matcha powder instead of tossing it away after brewing.

*Get yourself a decent matcha powder. Check your local Asian supermarkets. Find a container sealed with a vacuum/nitrogen lock.

*Make sure it is grown in Uji for best quality.

Enjoy! Love, Vera

This incredibly delicious cheesecake is easy to make and pretty good for you. Get a 70% or higher dark chocolate and an unsalted cream cheese if possible. Coconut sugar is for the topping and is optional, but added to the calorie count for convenience.

This healthy food carries both Japanese tradition and lots of iron. Using beet sugar (which is good for digestion) makes it subtly milder than other kinds of sugar.

This is one of typical winter food in Japan you may want to try at a cold night.
This is also a savory way to take important calcium which is hard to get solely from food.
