Can I come for dinner to your house ;-) ? Just joking of course, but you have prepared some of my favorite izakaya dishes. Edamame, yakitori (I like negima and tsukune) and tamagoyaki. I have never had the ramen salad, but as I love sesame salad dressing and ramen, I am sure I would like it.
Hi, thank you for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed the video! Izakaya menus are fun to make and eat. I too like yakitori tsukune. We hope that when you come to Hokkaido you will find a good izakaya and your favorite square pan!
Can I ask a totally non food related question ? I have noticed that in Japanese, it seems that "San" is added after a male name, in a way of showing respect. So you are Sho-San. Is the female form of that "Sanna" ?
Even questions not related to food are welcome. You are right, in Japan we add “san” after the name. This is common for both men and women. There are few divisions in Japanese such as masculine or feminine forms. As an exception, boys often add “kun” after their names and girls often add “chan” after their names. Recently, however, some people call their children by “san” from childhood, without distinction between male and female. Another more respectful way to address a person is to add “sama” after his or her name, which is often used on formal occasions. (In English, it would be the equivalent of “Mr.” or “ Ms.”) But I know that in English we call people by their first name without any honorific title after it, and I don't feel at all uncomfortable with just their first name (in fact, I am happy to be called that in a friendly way), so you can continue to call me Sho. Please call me whatever you like.
@@Japanese_homecooking_sho Thanks a lot for the explenation, thats very interesting to know. I didnt know that there are few divisions for masculine or feminine forms. A ryokan I contacted added "sama" after my name, its good to know what it means.

I think when I am in Japan next March, I will buy a square pan to prepare tamagoyaki in it, because in a normal round pan, it just doesnt work.
