Just Hungry welcomes you into a world of Japanese recipes and stories. Makika Itoh has been writing her blog since 2003 and strives to reveal her love of Japanese home cooking. Born in Tokyo but now residing in France, Itoh features posts dedicated to teaching its followers cooking techniques with hundreds of Japanese and other recipes. Want more food?

Japan. Endless Discovery. Only In Japan
With dozens of articles on Japanese food, Only In Japan is a great website, overall. There are written pieces based on Osaka, or Sapporo, or even specific seasons. For example, after spending your summer in Japan eating fresh unagi (eel), during the autumn you can look forward to warm mushroom soup or sweet potato croquettes (but I’d eat those all year long). Furthermore, some articles expand on popular Japanese food jargon, that might be imperative to your stay. “Useful Japanese Vocabulary: Shochu” talks at length about the history and the ingredients that go into making this alcoholic drink. However, the best part about this site is that not only will it direct you where to find good food, you will also learn about Japan’s history and culture, see what’s fun outdoors, discover the most luxurious areas and explore the new adventures Japan holds!
These delectable food bloggers embrace Japanese cuisine while also making it their own. If you are like Makiko Itoh who’s heart will always lie in Tokyo or Allison Day who just has a passion for sushi, these blogs are great inspirations for whatever Japanese chef (or customer) you want to be. This way, you will always have Japan a part of your life.
