Hi, I'm Hannah, I'm the world's OK est mom And it's a time again.

I'm going to make international dishes for one whole week.

So I'm only cooking japanese recipes for seven whole days and I'm really excited but also very nervous.

I really wanted to make japanese food that was attainable and pretty accessible for me here.

I didn't want to make too many substitution.

I also wanted about balance of sweet savory and snacks just cause it's really fun to try all sorts of different foods.

I want my kids to grow up with diverse palates.

I think that tasting food and experiencing smells and senses of different flavors like that is a great step into cultural appreciation.

The boys and I put together our shopping list.

There were a lot of specialty ingredients on there.

So I called up my friend Cat who lives in Los Angeles long time no talk has the family.

We're actually doing something really fun this week.

You sure we are doing japanese food for a whole week and I'm having some trouble sourcing ingredients.

Um I've the japanese market down the street here in Hollywood.

Do you want me to pop in, get some stuff for you guys and send it your way my gosh, that would be amazing because we have a little lists like stuff like NATO golden curry, pickled plums.

Um, the boys really want a lot of snacks.

The snacks especially are my favorite part.

Okay, well I can pay you if you go take a trip to the store.

She um, how do you want me to send the money?

I'll pull up my banking app on my end too.

We have different banks and it's that easy.

Honestly, the hardest part about these weeks is sourcing recipes that are authentic.

So I got to reach out to my house who works on tasty japan to give me some pointers and some advice and recipe recommendations.

Japanese foods are easy to make, but also sometimes dedicate.

So maybe that's the first thing you can imagine when thinking about japanese food.

Traditionally we have like rice and fish and miso soup.

I just hope we do it justice back with another recipe.

Very excited for this one because I ordered something special from the asian market.

I got these pickled plums ak Umebayashi and I'm making Nigiri which is like a rice triangle with a filling, Have my rice and a bowl and I'm gonna push it around The purpose of this week is to try new flavors and scents and so my kids know what tuna tastes like.

So I'm really curious to see how these taste.

So I got these plums and tried my best to form it into these triangles.

Is that people from the subtle sweetness of the rice, the nori wrapper and then having this really, really tart center, just surprisingly sour.

Henry's palate is adjusting little too sour.

Now it wouldn't be a japanese week without sampling a lot of japanese snacks.

This was the one thing that the kids were begging to try mama, it's where you wicked and then dip it in the power.

There's such a visual aspect to the experience of eating so many japanese foods and snacks are not left out of that equation.

There were sweets, there was savory, Jackson found a new favorite candy, why it was just going to town on everything and Henry was just begging for scraps basically.

Okay, we are gonna try one of these suggested snacks.

I've been really wanting to try it for a while.

It's called Natto and it's a fermented soybean.

I've actually seen a lot of people taste this to all over the internet.

The one consensus I've seen in so many of the taste test is that people were not preparing it correctly the way that I read you have to do it.

And I asked a few people how they eat it and it's definitely use the sauce that comes with it.

Somebody also suggested serve it with some rice with soy sauce.

It's one of those foods that I think it's an acquired taste for some people.

I think the texture is one of its most unique aspects.

I wanted to make sure we were tasting it respectfully.

Take a little just for you guys to get a first taste.

You will never guess who loved this the most.

It tastes kind of like rice and some salt.

I thought it was gonna be hard for a second.
