A Japanese Brunch

Japanese breakfasts can be a bit overwhelming for those who run on coffee and bagels - rice, miso soup, grilled fish, vegetables, pickled vegetables.. varies depending on region/family. But since most of the ingredients consist of vegetables, it doesn't leave you feeling unnecessarily full. My mother made us a wonderful Japanese breakfast-turned-brunch, made from fresh seasonal vegetables from the garden. She made rice, miso soup, boiled nozawana, cooked daikon & tofu, green salad, shiso & white fish tempura (small portions), and seaweed salad. I feel blessed being in the countryside, eating what the land has to offer, in the hands of a great chef.
