Yesterday Just One Cookbook was given the “Sisterhood Of The World Bloggers Award” by a fellow blogger, Beth. Thank you Beth for this wonderful award to me!
Everyone please check her website Beth Michelle. Beth shares wonderful food experiences from places she’s visited and her very creative recipes. Fennel And Orange Risotto, can you say yum!
I started Just One Cookbook this past January with the support from my dear friends. Through their encouragement I was able to start creating my blog and sharing Japanese recipes that I’ve grown up with and love. Joining FoodBuzz this month really opened the world for me to meet other foodies who share the same passion of cooking and enjoying good food.
Here are 7 things you may not have known about me…
1) I love organizing and I know probably 99% of where everything is exactly in my home.
2) I came to the US to study because I wanted to become a park ranger in Yosemite National Park (My favorite spot is Tuolumne Meadows).
3) I am a recovering Chocoholic.
4) I am an alcohol lightweight. I rather go to café or eat good food than going to a bar.
5) I love movies that make me cry.
6) I took Kendo (Japanese sword fighting) lesson for six years.
7) It was my dream from childhood to become a good housewife taking care of my home and my children. And I truely appreciate my wonderful husband who lets me.
I recently discovered some of my favorite blogs that I want to share with my readers. Some of the blogs have been around for a while and others have just started. I’ve made friends with some of them already and thank you for your friendship. All of you have been a huge inspiration for me and I’d love to keep sharing blogging experiences with you. Here are my 15 choices (in alphabetical order):
- Big, Bold, Beautiful Food
- Bread and Milk and Blackberries
- Cuisine Paradise
- Firefly Blog
- Gourmantine’s Blog
- Happy When Not Hungry
- Kitchen Groovy
- Linda’s Yummies
- Lindselicious
- Living with Umami
- My FIANCE! Likes It, So It MUST Be Good
- Our Adventures in Japan
- Teenie Cakes
- Wok In Time
- Zomppa
Those of you who were chosen by me, please write 7 things people don’t know about you and pick 15 fellow bloggers and pass on the Award!
Thank you so much again, Beth!

{ 38 comments… read them below or add one }
Thank you and how sweet of you to mention my blog! I am enjoying what I see in your blog already — great food! — and I look forward to checking out your other favorite blogs.
You are welcome Ninette! You totally deserve it!
Well deserved! Congrats
I love how you alphabetized your list. You really are organized!
Thank you Dee! See, if I didn’t put the list in order, I feel…not complete… so I had to do it, even that takes extra time. =P
Congratulations on your award, Nami! Any recognition you receive is well deserved. You have a beautiful blog. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Georgia. I’m so happy to receive a compliment from you. Thank you!
Congrats on your award! Well deserved! I enjoyed rreading a little more about you
Thank you Biren!
Nami – Thank you so much for the sweet award! We are kindred spirits for real! Except for knowing how to kick butt in Kendo, I think I share all your personality traits including a love of blogging about asian foods! I’m definitely glad we met.
Hi Jamie! Ha ha, don’t worry I wasn’t kicking butt, maybe more of opposite. =P It was nice to meet you too and can’t wait to exchange our recipes. So fun!
Thanks so much Nami for giving me the shout out! I’ve definitely enjoyed discovering your blog and learning more about you! =)
It was really my pleasure Peggy. I really enjoy reading your blog!
Nami! Thank you so much for this prestigious award!! I also would much rather go to a cafe and eat good food than go to a bar – plus, what better place other than our own homes can you enjoy good food and even better conversation?? On the other hand, I am a horrible organizer – I would love to know your favorite organizing tip!!! I am enjoying getting to know you!
Thanks Carina! You have 3 kids and I’d love to know how you do everything including such a great dinner. Organizing compared to that is nothing!
It’s my pleasure to pass this award to you!
thank you for the award, hope to post about it soon.
My pleasure Kat! I need to check your updates on your trip soon!
Wow… How sweet is this? This is sooo cool! Thank you very much, Nami. Like they say, it takes a good food blog foodie to recognize another
Keep doing what you do because there are always others like me who enjoy reading and recreating your recipes. Hontoni arigato-gozaimasu!
Your Takoyaki was a great impact on me. LOL. Looking forward to sharing and exchanging recipes in the future. Linda, it was really my pleasure and Do- Itashima*****!
Wow! I’m so happy to see you meeting great people via blog. As I remember, you started this blog for your kids. Well, now you must be feeling like “wow, this is super cool!” You should organize some sort of special on-line events to talk about FOOD!
Thanks Mika-san!
Thanks Nami for passing me this wonderful award and it’s my pleasure to know you and learn more japanese cooking and other wonderful dishes from your blog. Have fun. Do come and take part in our $20 buget meal event for Easter April too. I am sure a lot of readers will like to see your new creations
You are welcome Ellena! Why am I always checking your blog before going to sleep? I’m hungry again but trying not to eat…and your blog is very dangerous! Okay I’ll keep looking for $20 budget meal event!
Thanks so much Nami for my first award! It’s so nice to connect with someone who has similar interest in cooking- esp Japanese eats and just started blogging too!
xoxo Lindsey

LOL I’m the same no bars please, good coffee yes, anytime of the day and of course yummy food! Now, if only I could give up chocolate LOL
Thanks Suzana and it was my pleasure to pass the award to you. I enjoy your post everyday, so why no?
We can go for a good coffee and yummy food one day! 
That would be awesome
wish I lived where you are, hopefully we’ll move there soon, we have been planing for years, but as you can imagine something always comes up! But hopefully some day!
Really!? That’ll be cool if you are moving here! When the day comes, you will be invited to our house for dinner. Promise!

Thank you Kimberley!
Just came across your blog. I love Japanese cuisine (and movies, and literature), and I am so happy that I found another great blog with Japanese recipes.
Sandy
Hello Sandy! Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. I’m really happy that you liked my site! I hope you enjoy looking around and trying my recipes.
Anyone who comes to the US to study to become a park ranger has got to be COOL! And japanese swordfighting? I rest my case!
Hi Rowena! You are funny!
