In reply to Karen. Hello, Karen! Aww. We are happy to hear that you are having fun cooking various Midnight Diner dishes! Because cooking sake contains additional ingredients as well as salt, we recommend using drinking sake. You may use an inexpensive one. https://www.justonecookbook.com/sake/ If you must use cooking sake, we recommend lowering the salt level in the recipes. We hope this helps!

I am trying every recipe from Midnight Diner and loving it! Thank you! In your recipes, when it says sake, can I use cooking sake (not for drinking :))?

Hi Naomi, I love ur cooking site and so does my family. They really love ur recipe for tonkatsu without frying and the sauce! I have seen u using a knife that looks like it’s has a texture like a hammered look. I would like to know if this is ur favorite knife, if so can u tell me the name and where I can get one.
