    Miwa, I love your recipes! They’re delicious, and you create such pleasant, educational content. Have you ever considered creating a Patreon? Or a Kickstarter for a cook book?

    P.S. I asked a similar question on another video, but I realized I didn’t ask it very clearly: I can’t seem to find gluten-free dashi packets or kombu stock powder…do you know of any?

    I am always looking for more pumpkin/squash recipes. These look really good! I would have never thought to use red miso with a tomato based squash recipe. I will have to try it! Thanks so much for the recipes! I hope you and your family get to feeling better.

    The dark red of your blouse really suits you, so pretty!
    Also more love for onions! They're so underrated. Funnily enough, I watched your video eating my onion-zucchini pasta which I used to make also with tuna and tomatoes (but now tomates aren't in season anymore here and I didn't want to use tuna) so there are some similarities between your dish and mine, I liked that

    Hi Miwa. Could you post a picture of the soy yogurt you use please? I recently tried almond milk yogurt, but it wasn’t as nice as I’d hoped. Thanks for the koabocha inspiration. I always fall into a rut with that vegetable. Have a good weekend!

    Here in Sweden I don’t think we can get a kabochi, but we do have something called butternut pumpkin. Do you think I could use that instead? It also has a sweet taste.

    I hope your boys get well soon, being sick is no fun! In Sweden we often eat soup and drink tea with honey when we are sick or have a cold.

    I'd like to try kabocha pumpkin, but I hate squash yet I like sweet potato. If I see a small one for sale I'll give it a try. I haven't seen any so far, just regular pumpkins. Could you do some recipes that use only the rice cooker? And any sweet potato ones, because the only thing I do with the purple ones is put them in miso soup lol.

    I did not know people eat pumpkin in Japan.

    Here in the US people commonly put pumpkin in dessert pies during the autumn/fall and winter, but I like pumpkin and squash in all kinds of food. Pumpkin makes a very rich soup. Pumpkin seeds are also very nutritious when roasted.

    How do you know if the kabocha is fresh and good to eat? The kabocha here sold in the Netherlands sometimes have weird stains on the skin and I don't know if that's normal or not🤔

    I always struggle with cutting the kabocha as well. I usually ask my husband to cut it in half or quarters before I cut it into the chuncks I need. The kabocha miso soup would i think also be great with mochi instead of udon (I just love mochi) and for a bit of a kick as my husband likes it shichimi on it just before eating the udon miso soup.
    Now I have kabocha again (I can really only get it in autumn and beginning of winter) I need to make the spread. My daughter loves the kabocha korokke (I got teh recipe from the ootoya recipe book hahaha) so I wonder if she'll eat this as well.

    Our favourite kabocha recipes are those korokke and kabocha salad. And I have some stir fry recipes with kabocha with ama kara seasoning. And though not kabocha but really good for autumn, yesterday I made a easy kuri and sweet potato potage. That would be great with for example kabocha tenpura.

    Hope your sons are feelling better now.

    These look amazing! I think I need to go to the farmer's market tomorrow, and see if they have kabocha squash. 🙂 I've seen it around I think, though the favourite winter squash here is butternut.
