Inarizushi!

Hi! Hot day seems to be still going on.

I ate I narizushi (fried bean curd stuffed with sushi rice) for late dinner tonight.
I could'nt eat board today because many customers came to Doma-Doma. It was really crowded than usual Wednesday.

Anyway, the origin of Inarizushi is favorite food whose fox, which is messenger of Inari God. Long time ago, fox seems to like fried rat. So people used it when they catch fox. Therefore, tohu (bean curd) came to use for Inarizushi. In addition, birthplace of it seemed to be in Aichi in 1833~36. Inarizushi is one of the dericious and traditional Japanese food!

I'm sorry that I wanted to list some picutures, but I foggot taking pictures because of tiredness of part-time job. So I listed another one that I copied from web page.


And I wanna show you the recipe that I often make at home.That is really simple!

Just boil fried bean curd with soy sauce, sugar and mirin (sweet sake for seasoning). After that, make sushi rice and stuff it into fried bean curd.


That's all, but it is delicious! Please try it!

  1. Hello Yuki!

    Recently it is really really hot and many people seem so exhausted. We definitely need good energy to survive this summer but we easily lose attetite in such crazy hot weather, right?
    In this kind of situation, I think Inarizushi is a good food to eat. It contains vinegar and sugar, so the taste of sour and sweet can heal our exhausted body! In addition, fried bean curd is healthy and rice has good nuturition. It is small and we can eat it easily with our hands, so maybe Inarizushi can be a hero in this summer!!
