A Quintessential Autumn Dish! ! Imoni (Simmered Potatoes), a Regional Speciality from Yamagata
I loved having imoni meetups by the river when I was a child.
Even now, I feel that autumn has arrived when this potato dish appears on the dinner table.I think we had this meal a lot when my mother and grandmother didn't know what to make for dinner. This is a staple in Yamagata, but I hope it can become a family favorite for you too!
If the smell of konnyaku bothers you, parboil it first!
The flavor should be adjusted to your family's tastes.
The main point that I want to make is that you should tear the konnyaku with your hands!! Kids love this task!
When you have time, leave the satoimo to stand either before or after adding the leek. This allows the flavor to be soaked up - delicious! Recipe by Rie:repo

Preperation: Wash the satoimo quickly, cut large ones in half. Cut the burdock into thin shavings. Cut the root ends off of the Shimeji mushrooms and pull the mushrooms apart into small clumps. Cut the Japanese leek. diagonally.

Notes: They sell satoimo pre-peeled and washed like this in Yamagata, but if you can't get this, frozen satoimo is delicious too. I also used pre-shredded burdock root.

Cover the satoimo with water in a large pan and bring to q boil. If a bubbly scum arises, scoop it off. Tip: If it really bugs you, change the water once it's come to the boil! Insert the burdock part-way.

Once boiling, add the konnyaku, tearing it as you add it. Tip: If the smell of konnyaku bothers you, parboil it first! Apparently the konnyaku helps to prevent bubbles from forming.

Add the shimeji and beef, remove any scum which arises. Flavor with the ◎ ingredients, but feel free to adjust the amounts to taste!

Once the satoimo are really soft, add the Japanese leek. It's finished once the leek is cooked. Sprinkle with some ichimi ground red chili pepper to taste!

The Taste of Autumn--Persimmon and Shimeji Mushroom Shira-ae The Taste of Autumn--Persimmon and Shimeji Mushroom Shira-ae
This dish often appears at upscale Japanese restaurants (ryotei), but since I don't have much opportunity to go to one, I made my own shira-ae with persimmon.The key to this recipe is to pre-season the shimeji mushrooms.For optimal results, I recommend mashing the tofu with a mortar and pestle. (Since I don't have a mortar and pestle, I just mashed it finely.)If you prefer more sweetness, add extra persimmon. You can also substitute chrysanthemum leaves for spinach. For 4 servings.

Our Family's Zouni - Regional Recipe from Yame, Fukuoka Our Family's Zouni - Regional Recipe from Yame, Fukuoka
This recipe, taught to me by my mother-in-law, is from her hometown of Yame in Fukuoka prefecture. I've been making this ever since I got married, wherever we've lived, every year for New Year's when the whole family has o-zouni. Adding bonito dashi stock is my variation. I make two meals worth at a time.If you rehydrate the surume squid, konbu seaweed and dried shiitake mushrooms slowly in the refrigerator, you can get a delicious soup out of them. Start cooking the hard ingredients first. In Step 4, I used dark soy sauce, so I added a little salt so that the soup wouldn't turn too dark, but if you use light (usukuchi) soy sauce you don't need to add salt.Makes 7 to 8 bowls.

Sweet and Salty Simmered Chicken Giblets - A Regional Speciality From Yamanashi Sweet and Salty Simmered Chicken Giblets - A Regional Speciality From Yamanashi
Simmered chicken giblets are on the menu of all soba restaurants in Yamanashi prefecture, and it's a regional speciality. In our house we don't include the gizzards since the children find them hard to eat, but they do eat the livers if I cook them in a sweet-salty sauce as they do at soba restaurants. We have this occasionally to ward off anemia.Make sure to prep the giblets properly, and to wash them well after boiling them to remove any odor and make them easier to eat. If you boil them for too long they'll get tough, so please pay attention. They'll be nice and plump after 3 minutes of boiling.Simmer them at Step 5 until there's no liquid left in the pan, to make sure the giblets are well-flavored. Recipe by TOMOTOMO -
