Ichiju-Sansai Recipe Subscription

Nourish Your Body, Delight Your Senses, Seasonal Japanese Home Cooking — Made Simple

A monthly recipe & video subscription bringing the tradition of ichiju-sansai (one soup, three dishes) into your UK kitchen.
Perfect for anyone aged 25 to 65+, whether you’re new to Japanese food or rediscovering it.

Japan has four distinct seasons, and using seasonal ingredients is a fundamental principle of Japanese cuisine.

These ingredients are not only fresh and flavorful, but are also believed to support the body’s health in harmony with each season.

We will also introduce recipes related to annual events aligned with the four seasons. For example, recommended recipes for June, using common ingredients found in UK supermarkets, include easily Japanese-inspired dishes like a simple asparagus and new potato salad with a soy-mirin dressing or a refreshing cucumber and wakame seaweed sunomono (vinegared salad). 

Enjoy these refreshing dishes perfect for early summer.
