It is dinner time now after all these cooking! It was nice to have something to do stuck at home.
Addition to what I cooked, hiyayakko (冷奴, cold tofu) with chopped scallions, grated ginger, and katsuobushi (鰹節, dried thinly sliced tuna flake), add soy sauce over for flavor. Yes, store bought tofu.
Store bought Edamame (cooked soy beans), sprinkle salt for flavor.
Smelt tsukudani (ワカサギの佃煮) from Akita region (tsukudani, 佃煮, simmered and cooked in sugar and soy sauce) Old Japanese cooling method, food can be kept at room temperature. Used to preserve foods in old days.
Drink was Sapporo beer and Takashimizu sake from Akita brewing.
Why I need Wara-Wara or other chain Izakaya places if I can do this at home!
P.S.
After cooking and nice Izakaya dinner with nice sake, I treated myself.
Gotta cheat once in a while.

But stuck at home, gyms are closed, I am getting fat!

14 hrs. flight to Tokyo become more unbearable!
