Shop Ingredients

These are the Japanese ingredients and brands I recommend for home cooks, based on what I've used and learned both in Japan and abroad. I've chosen products that are reliable, widely available, and easier to find outside of Japan. Every link below is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for supporting Eyes and Hour.

Aji-Mirin - Japanese Cooking Wine

Tamanishiki Rice (the best quality Japanese rice available in the US)
