Summer has been slow to get going this year. While June and July were lukewarm, August and September promise that summer heat we\u2019ve all been craving. The markets are full of beautiful melons, sweet summer corn and multi-colored heirloom tomatoes. This time of year, all one really needs, is to chop up fresh vegetables, mix in a bowl and feast! The produce is so fresh and beautiful, it doesn\u2019t need much else, and with this warm summer weather seeping into the fall months, it looks like we might be eating this well for some time to come!<\/p>\n

As the seasons continue to surprise us — either due to global warming or simply a natural shift in the earth — the produce available each month is a new surprise. This year we\u2019ve seen fresh peanuts in March, squash blossoms in December and a cherry season that never really happened because winter never found its chill in California. This phenomenon has not shaken, but inspired chefs all around the country to embrace change and work with what\u2019s available. When you are shopping locally and seasonably, it\u2019s a no brainer!<\/p>\n

\"Vegetables\"<\/p>\n

While summer now seems to be right where it should be, keep an eye out for unusual produce or missing options at the market this season.\u00a0 Talk to your local farmers and show your support by purchasing a variety of options, above and beyond what you think you might need. It should provide inspired and creative meals all summer long! Happy cooking!<\/p>\n

Kendama and Koma: Timeless Japanese Toys<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walk into any shop in Japan, and you are bound to find a section of traditional wooden toys. In between the origami<\/i> paper, the kites and the summer kimono<\/i>, you will find kendama<\/i> and koma<\/i> in the aisle for endless and imaginative summer fun. For those of you scratching your head, you are probably familiar with both kendama <\/i>and koma<\/i> \u2013 in fact, there is a good chance you have played with one at some point in your life.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine that handmade wooden toy with two cups on the end, a spike in the middle and a ball attached to a string?\u00a0 Are you starting to remember this game where the principle is to connect one object with the other? That is kendama! <\/i>Ever played with a handmade wooden spinning top? What about one with a string? This is essentially koma.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"h\"<\/p>\n

Both toys are simple, handmade and date back hundreds of years. While they don\u2019t offer the details and technology of modern-day video games and action figures, there is something to their simplicity and craftsmanship. Simple toys such as kendama<\/i> and koma <\/i>promote hand-eye coordination and leave plenty of room for imagination. Their basic design and simplistic decoration can act as a blank slate leaving children room to imprint their own thoughts and ideas on the experience. This is a type of play that is becoming fewer and far between in our modern day world.<\/p>\n

Kendama<\/i> and koma <\/i>are easy to find and inexpensive on the internet. Most of them are hand-crafted and painted by Japanese artisans. Treat your child to the gift of imagination this summer with a special and simple new toy! Happy summer!<\/p>\n

Summer Grub in Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n

August in Japan can be hot and humid! Warm days give way to beautiful summer evenings filled with fireworks, barbeque and other celebrations. Two common summer snack items in Japan are dango<\/i> and takoyaki<\/i>. \u00a0Although these two are different snacks, it is easy to lump them together as both are typically round and covered in a sticky sweet brown sauce. In fact, where you find one, you are likely to find the other.<\/p>\n

\"mitrashi-dango-84005_640\"<\/a>Dango <\/i>is a popular street food offering in Japan. It is a grilled round dumpling made from rice flour and can be likened to mochi.<\/i> You will commonly see the dumplings <\/i>skewered and roasting on outdoor grills. Once roasted, they are flavored with either savory or sweet toppings. The savory mitarashi dango <\/i>is covered with a sticky sweet soy sauce glaze. These glistening little balls are a must have at outdoor food fairs and festivals!<\/p>\n

\"\u5927\u962a\uff15\uff0d\u305f\u3053\u713c\u304d-crop\"<\/a>Alongside dango, <\/i>you are likely to spot takoyaki <\/i>at food courts and outdoor events.\u00a0 Takoyaki<\/i> does not mean grilled tacos in Japanese! \u00a0Tako <\/i>is the word for octopus, and takoyaki <\/i>is ball shaped puff made of wheat batter, octopus and tempura scraps. It is typically topped with a sticky Worcestershire based sauce glaze, mayonnaise and bonito flakes. It gets its round shape from a special takoyaki<\/i> pan made of cast iron where it is rolled around until it becomes a perfectly browned a delicious ball of batter \u2013 think savory Danish pancakes.<\/p>\n

Next time you are at your Japanese market or local festival, keep an eye out for these sticky round delicacies. See if you can tell them apart! And as always, report back to us. We would love to hear about your Japanese dining adventures both at home and out in the world. Happy eating!<\/p>\n
