cook

You really know how far you have taken your passion when you receive 25 boxes worth of soba equipment from the Tsukiji Soba Academy. I have another shipment of flour, sake, soy sauce, bonito flakes, etc. coming. This is all for the sake of  soba and the upcoming soba and homecooking workshop. My house has been rearranged to accomodate everything. The dining room is now a soba studio.  I am not complaining.

Here are the beautiful handmade sieves made by an artisan in Kawagoe                                 who is in his eighties. They arrived safely.   

So did my dried bonito (for making bonito flakes), and handwoven soba dishes.

Fissler (German) pots and Japanese saucepans. 

 

Two beautiful lackquered finished soba bowl and stainless steel spba bowl

Another sieve and some dishes

Noodle bowls, lots of them

Ana is barking at me.  "What is it with all these sieves and bowls?"
