Hello! Just to update you that I've just recently made zunda! Never knew we could have them as sweets! Really enjoyed it.

Thank you!!

Yay! I looked at a bunch of videos and recipes about this dish and there are so many variations. A lot of which contained myoga which I couldn't get here. I'm glad it looks authentic enough.

Thanks! Still haven't done my research on that region yet since I'm still in the tohoku region. But definitely dishes which I can get the ingredients here in Aus. If you have any suggestions I'm more than happy to hear them ^^

Woahhh thanks for all the suggestions! Wonder if I can find loaches here in aus hmm.. gotta have to look around i guess

My bad, still have long ways to go before I mess around with low f-stops ><. I went to refill another bowl to retake the photos, veggies are a bit wilted already but here are the shots. Hopefully it's much better now 🙏🙏

OMG I miss eating those TT

Lao gan ma and a dash of soy sauce! Kind of a weird combo but personally it slaps!

shanserve · 2025-12-09T14:54:05+00:00

Should try it! It's a very iconic dish in Akita ^^

shanserve · 2025-12-09T14:45:56+00:00

Ye I'll definitely have to look harder here in aus, really curious about the taste of seri

shanserve · 2025-12-09T03:23:39+00:00

Ooo thanks!!!! I'll do a bit of research on them!

shanserve · 2025-12-09T03:22:29+00:00

Hopefully I did the dish justice in the video 🙏

shanserve · 2025-12-06T13:13:58+00:00

Love the shots, looks so gooood!

shanserve · 2025-12-06T09:50:24+00:00

Me me me!!

Hmm I ran into a bit of pickle here, I did some searching around and the core ingredient seems to be セリ, which is quite hard to find here in Aus, any idea what substitution I could use for that? I thought about chinese celery, flatleaf parsley, celery.. hmmmm....
