We had a home party this weekend. We emptied many bottles and foods. It's easy to make smoking foods in cardboard boxes.

weekend dinner with friends.

I've invited my friend apartment on Saturday. and had dinner with the smoking foods we've made and lots of wines. Having dinner with friends is more fun. We talk, drink , eat. We had a real laugh. I took a photo of wine, Exactly, We opened about 10 bottle of wines at least, which means we drained over one bottle wine each.

We've made smoking foods on Saturday. We tried the ingredients we wanted to try. THis time, Ayu(a river fish), almond, chicken wings, shirasu(tine fishes), shiitake mush room, hanpen, corn and cheese.







Ayu was nice. It went together with Sake, not wine. The wines were a Rhone rose, a Loire blanc, red spumante, and an Northern Italian red. Everything was okay. I forgot to take the pictures of them. and It doesn't concern to the party though, I cooked a south Indian curry. My friends asked me to cook it and I did. Everybody pleased to eat it too. I was happy.

The other way to make smoking foods, using cardboard box. it's very cheap equipment. You just get 2 cardboard for this. and some spits and a pot to smoke the chips.

We learned to smoke small eggs, hanpen, shirasu, and cheese in this box. hanpen and shirasu are japanese foods. hanpen is a white triangular shaped food, one of surimi product. People use it in Oden and just into soup. shirasu is a tiny fish. it's also used as bait to fishery .

Each food is put in the box. the first is cheese. next shirasu on upper layer. the other box, we use 2 smoking box, egg and hanpen in it.


put the lid and keep the temperature. it depends on what you smoke though, about 2h to 8h at this time.


see those smoking foods. nice baked color. it's like cookies. The teacher said only hanpen is nicest to eat it fresh from the oven. shirasu is also wonderful. Everybody loved that.

My friends and I went to Hayama to have a experience of making smoking foods on Saturday. Hayama is near Kamakura. It was a wonderful day in noon, little windy though. I enjoyed to seeing the seacoast from the hill.


This is the easiest and fastest way to make smoking foods. just get some sausage and chicken(put salt and pepper), put some smoking chips on aluminum sheet in the pan, and place those ingredients on plate and lid it. It will take about 30min to 1h.






See those golden color!! You wanna drink beer, don't you? Just made is nice. but wait after a while, It becomes more tasty.
