That looks so good. I want to have my fiance make these for us. She is the better cook. I really suck at cooking. Thanks for showing this. I need to find Dashi powder here in America.
Just a question. I notice in a lot of your videos you include wine or sake in your cooking, and as someone who doesn't consume alcohol for religious reasons, I was wondering if there's a non-alcoholic substitute for these? Or would the flavour be lost or something? Also, is onigiri typically made with alcohol? Regardless, great video as always :)
Thanks for your question:) Sake has four effects:) The first one is neutralizing the smell of ingredients. The second one is helping the flavor have gone through ingredients. The third one is making ingredients tender. The fourth one is helping the flavor become more savory and velvety. The alcohol is evaporated while cooking and it is difficult to find another way instead of sake. Of course, it doesn't always have to be like that when you make onigiris.
Looks amazing, definitely one of my favorite things to eat while I was in Japan.
Looks delicious! Beautiful images as well. New subscriber. Thank you!

@@JapaneseFoodMusic I see, thank you🌼
الله ينور 👍
What else can I use instead of dashi powder?
Thanks for your comment :)
Using dashi soup from kombu and bonito flakes is better.
Is it better to use light sesame oil or toasted sesame oil to cook rice?
Thanks for your comment :) Either is fine !
If you enjoy sesame flavor, you should choose toasted sesame oil.
@@JapaneseFoodMusic I've never tried sesame oil, which one do you recommend?
I see, I recommend toasted sesame oil :)
Can I use katsuo dashi?
