Big in Kyoto: Misofishiso Pan

Japan trend-spotters take note: I created this dish but five minutes ago and it is already hot hot hot among the gaijin work-at-home web designer crowd.

The concept/problem: no-leftover-rice + hunger + need + food + quick. Nanika tabetai desu ne? The solution is a food koan that [uh, metaphor about clearing away desire].

It is: Bread. Miso. Dried baby sardines. Shiso. We call it “misofishiso pan” and it is sugoi oishii.

Cultural mixmasters are drooling on their vintage kimonos.

    It actually tasted pretty good.

  2. white or whole wheat?

  3. I used white. A little dry because it was from the day-old “sale” rack at the bakery. Hmm, not sure about whole wheat — the flavors are delicate and it might overpower them. Something a little sweet might be nice, to balance the salty miso and baby sardines.
