Happy New Year! My name is Rie from Market Tokyo.
Starting this year, we will share a small selection of items we personally recommend, once a month on this page.
These are products we use in our daily life and genuinely enjoy, and we hope this series will help you discover something new or useful from Japan.
How about trying to cook Japanese foods at home this year? These items are useful to prepare sushi party at home.
■ Nagatanien "Sushi taro"

Chirashizushi mix. Cooked vegetable in it. Just mix with hot cooked rice. Put sashimi if they are available. I usually put thinly fried eggs cut into thin strips and cucumber with sashimi.

■ Tamanoi "Sushi no ko"

Useful powder vinegar when you prepare sushi rice. It takes a little skill to get the rice to absorb the vinegar. But with this magical powder, rice won’t become sticky for beginners.
When you cannot use it all for sushi, use it for potato salad. Mixing with cut vegetables, you can make pickles easily.
