[Okai Mafu Shoten's Linen Coffee Filter has been added]

This environmentally friendly and sustainable coffee filter is made of hand-woven linen fabric and can be washed and reused repeatedly.

Linen has antibacterial properties in the fiber itself, and its excellent water absorbency and wicking properties allow it to dry quickly and cleanly.

The slightly thicker yarn used expands when wetted, clogging the filter and allowing coffee to fall out slowly. Each piece is individually wrapped in a paper bag, making it a great gift for coffee lovers. Please take a look.

I had my first taste of oshisushi with vegetables as the main ingredient at a vegetable sushi event held at a beer pub in Kyoto some years ago.

I always thought it would be great if I could make various kinds of oshisushi at home, and I immediately tried making vegesushi with zucchini and avocado, and oshisushi with prosciutto ham and cream cheese.

I love the simplicity of the process, which is that you first prepare the ingredients, make the sushi rice, lay out the ingredients, and press, which is basically the same no matter what ingredients you use. I am really glad I bought it because I enjoy the fact that I can make different types of pressed sushi depending on my ideas, such as using rice vinegar or white wine vinegar, depending on the main ingredients.

Every time I add one more to my repertoire, I want to make and serve it to my family who live far away.

[Hakusan Porcelain's Yunomi Choko]

Hakusan Porcelain's Yunomi Choko is versatile enough to be used not only for tea, but also as a soba choko cup or small bowl. It goes well with desserts such as jelly and pudding, gazpacho, cold soups, and other dishes that highlight the cool texture, and the high quality of white porcelain that makes the most of the transparency of Amakusa pottery stone is appealing.

Designed in 2002 by Yasuki Sakamoto of Hakusan Porcelain, who received direct instruction from Masahiro Mori, one of Japan's leading product designers, this product won the 2008 Good Design Award.

A Japanese dish recommended for Yunomi Choko is chawanmushi (steamed egg custard). Chawanmushi is a Japanese dish in which ingredients, beaten eggs, and soup stock are poured into a bowl and steamed. Popular ingredients include chicken, fish cakes, shrimp, and scallops. The body of Yamaichi's Chinese Seiro can be filled with three Yunomi Choko per tier to make chawanmushi. Please try it!
