Emiko’s meals, passed down from Japanese mothers and grandmothers, embody simplicity and flavor. Dishes like tamagonogohan and yakisoba use seasonal vegetables for nourishing, quick creations. Japanese home cooking is about enhancing natural flavors without fuss, reflecting love through uncomplicated, quick, and comforting meals that Emiko shares with her children, defining ‘gohan’ as everyday nourishment.
