Hanako’s Memo

 

Sake Kasu + Miso + Dashi = Easy & Beauty


When it gets cold, young people in Japan invite their friends saying “Let’s have a nabe-pa!” Nabe-pa is the abbreviation for nabe (hot pot) party. Do you have similar parties in your country?
At the same time, a demand for “solo hot pot” has been increasing: you can see various products for hot pot like small semi-ready ingredients or soup mix. I agree that you use such convenient stuff, but this recipe is also easy. You can make whatever you want if you get sake kasu, miso and dashi! I also recommend putting chicken in it because chicken broth makes it taste richer. This hot pot is not only delicious but also good for your health and beauty because you can take in nourishment of hakko fermented food such as sake kasu and miso!
