In other news, it is now November! What does this mean? Well if we were in Japan, it would be sushi season. Ocean temperatures would be getting colder right now in the Northern Hemisphere, which leads to an increase in fatty fish. The cold weather also means hot pots and lots of other warm foods.

But when we face reality (even as you look out at today’s terrible weather), it’s actually officially less than one month until summer! And it does seem like it’s going to be scorching hot this year. We’re approaching the height of good food – fruits are in season, as is seafood (Christmas morning at the Fish Markets, anyone?), and it’s an odd weekend if you can’t smell at least one BBQ going on.

Try these Japanese summer foods this year:

  1. Unagi-don: rice topped with eel, glazed with soy sauce
  2. Kakigori: shaved ice topped with any number of flavours (matcha with azuki is a must try)
  3. Okonomiyaki
  4. Tsukemen
