๐ณโจ โA Taste of Home: My Tamagoyaki Storyโ
by Yui, your Japanese kitchen bestie
Konnichiwa! ๐ธ Iโm Yui โ a girl with a heart full of dreams and a kitchen full of warmth. Ever since I was little, Iโve believed that food is a gentle way to say โI care about you.โ That's why, every morning, I wake up early to prepare something small but special for those I love. ๐
The first dish I ever learned from my obaachan (grandma) was Tamagoyaki โ Japanese rolled omelette. It may look simple, but each golden layer holds a memory, a smile, and a sprinkle of love.
I still remember the first time I tried to make it on my own. The egg stuck to the pan, my roll was uneven, and I cried in frustration... ๐ญ But Grandma just giggled softly and said โYui-chan, a crooked tamagoyaki still tastes sweet if you made it with love.โ
Now, I roll the egg slowlyโฆ layer by layerโฆ thinking about how the soft, sweet flavor always comforts someone whoโs had a long day. I add a little dash of soy sauce, a tiny bit of mirin, and just a whisper of dashi. And when I cut it into little golden pillows and pack it neatly into a bento box, it feels like Iโm wrapping a hug in food form. ๐ฑ๐
Sometimes, I walk past the park and see a student sitting on the bench, eating alone. I imagine sneaking a warm slice of tamagoyaki into their bento. Wouldnโt that make their day just a bit brighter?
Cooking Japanese food isnโt just about following steps โ itโs about sharing a piece of your soul. Whether itโs miso soup on a rainy day, onigiri for your best friend, or a sweet roll of tamagoyaki made just for youโฆ every dish has a story to tell.
So, if you ever feel homesick, heartbroken, or just hungry for comfort, come join me in the kitchen. Iโll have the pan warmed, the rice steamed, and a story to share. ๐Itadakimasu~ ๐โจ
โ With love,
Yui
