Thank you for the recipe. Looks so easy and delicious.

[@divinedia]

I was thinking of making kabocha soup! Since it’s getting cold and everyone is sick now 😅 so comforting and yummy, this video was a sign to make it :)

[@bonniederby9090]

I don’t even cook but these recipes look soooooo delicious/Oishi desu…that it motivates me to learn Japanese cooking. US citizen living & loving Japan!!!! Thank you/Domo Arigatou Gozaimashita, Miwa San!

I did not know people eat pumpkin in Japan. Here in the US people commonly put pumpkin in dessert pies during the autumn/fall and winter, but I like pumpkin and squash in all kinds of food. Pumpkin makes a very rich soup. Pumpkin seeds are also very nutritious when roasted.

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

I LOVE roasted pumpkin! I recently watched pumpkin latte on KZbin which I never tried but on the list^^. thank you for sharing!!

[@quintrankid8045]

I'm curious too about if the seeds are saved and somehow roasted or cooked.

[@ares6953]

Three great recipes that seem easy to make and also very hearty and welcome for the fall ! Very nice !Happy Halloween Miwa 😀

[@dtulip1]

LOL Lets Pumpk IN....I got it :D...and as an English person, your English is beautiful

[@melaniegreen5823]

I let out a hearty laugh at that, and I'm still smiling about it after watching the whole video.

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

I had no idea what else I could say! haha I wanted to express how much I love the pumpkin and excited to share with viewers, ended up like that! haha thank you very much for your kind word!!!!

[@melaniegreen5823]

@@MiwasJapaneseCooking It was adorable! 🥰

[@cherusiderea1330]

The dark red of your blouse really suits you, so pretty! Also more love for onions! They're so underrated. Funnily enough, I watched your video eating my onion-zucchini pasta which I used to make also with tuna and tomatoes (but now tomates aren't in season anymore here and I didn't want to use tuna) so there are some similarities between your dish and mine, I liked that

[@jenniferwinn5536]

I am always looking for more pumpkin/squash recipes. These look really good! I would have never thought to use red miso with a tomato based squash recipe. I will have to try it! Thanks so much for the recipes! I hope you and your family get to feeling better.

[@imperfectvegan5724]

Hope your little boys feel better soon! Happy Halloween to you, too!

[@tanyasienko1585]

You can also substitute acorn squash for kabocha. You want to use a winter squash, not summer squash.Hadn't thought about using a yam instead.

[@aylimo8691]

lovely video as always! take care of yourself and your family

[@melissareid640]

Happy Halloween 🎃 great job with your bike 🚲 you can do anything you put your mind to! 💝🙏💝 Congratulations.

[@ochickuusa-cuocsongmy7475]

Great video, I like your sharing. Thank you very much my friend 👍🍞❤️😀👉!!

[@tommyashton7142]

I had a wonderful pumpkin dish in Nagano at a hotel restaurant, I have hit asian markets and never found as Japanese pumpkin, maybe it was the squash, I will have to try

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

so glad to hear you had a good kabocha dish in Nagano! Beautiful place^^

[@janettanaka2894]

Hi Miwa-san….very comforting recipes. I love the kabocha with thick noodles in miso soup. I hope your boys feel better soon!! Happy Halloween to you too 🎃 👻 🧙

[@isashine677]

Praying for speedy recovery kiddos 🙏 Definitely I'll try the recipe😋. Have a safe Halloween 🎃

[@tamara4557]

I always struggle with cutting the kabocha as well. I usually ask my husband to cut it in half or quarters before I cut it into the chuncks I need. The kabocha miso soup would i think also be great with mochi instead of udon (I just love mochi) and for a bit of a kick as my husband likes it shichimi on it just before eating the udon miso soup. Now I have kabocha again (I can really only get it in autumn and beginning of winter) I need to make the spread. My daughter loves the kabocha korokke (I got teh recipe from the ootoya recipe book hahaha) so I wonder if she'll eat this as well. Our favourite kabocha recipes are those korokke and kabocha salad. And I have some stir fry recipes with kabocha with ama kara seasoning. And though not kabocha but really good for autumn, yesterday I made a easy kuri and sweet potato potage. That would be great with for example kabocha tenpura. Hope your sons are feelling better now.

Looks delicious

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

thank you very much for your kind word!!

[@onexpressocafe1821]

Yum!

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

thank you!!!^^

[@celticlass8573]

These look amazing! I think I need to go to the farmer's market tomorrow, and see if they have kabocha squash. :) I've seen it around I think, though the favourite winter squash here is butternut.

[@Hempsterdavescreate]

Yummy😎👍👍!

[@GlobalEnglishSupernaturals]

Such a sweet endearing voice, love to beautiful you and your beautiful family💐❤️💐

[@Trassel242]

Here in Sweden I don’t think we can get a kabochi, but we do have something called butternut pumpkin. Do you think I could use that instead? It also has a sweet taste. I hope your boys get well soon, being sick is no fun! In Sweden we often eat soup and drink tea with honey when we are sick or have a cold.

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

I think butternut squash should work!! In my opinion, Compare to kabocha, butternut has more moisture to it. thank you very much for your kind word!!^^

[@candied.crabapples]

Or acorn squash would work nicely

[@annamae0505]

konnichiwa.. i love to know how to cook Japanese food. yoroshiku....

[@azt4967]

Could you show how to make plant based furikake at home? I have tasted original Japanese handmade furikake long time ago. Love to know know how to make it, with taste of umami. (The ones sold prepacked in shops are not nice)...

[@3lmodfz]

I'd like to try kabocha pumpkin, but I hate squash yet I like sweet potato. If I see a small one for sale I'll give it a try. I haven't seen any so far, just regular pumpkins. Could you do some recipes that use only the rice cooker? And any sweet potato ones, because the only thing I do with the purple ones is put them in miso soup lol.

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

Using rice cooker is a great topic !! thank you for the idea!!! ^^

[@annaikegami570]

Hi Miwa. Could you post a picture of the soy yogurt you use please? I recently tried almond milk yogurt, but it wasn’t as nice as I’d hoped. Thanks for the koabocha inspiration. I always fall into a rut with that vegetable. Have a good ｗｅｅｋｅｎｄ！

[@MiwasJapaneseCooking]

oh! I'll make sure to include that in the future video OR on Instagram stories!!! ^^

[@candied.crabapples]

I didn’t know you could eat the skin of kabocha!

[@anaynierlpag]

Miwa, I love your recipes! They’re delicious, and you create such pleasant, educational content. Have you ever considered creating a Patreon? Or a Kickstarter for a cook book? P.S. I asked a similar question on another video, but I realized I didn’t ask it very clearly: I can’t seem to find gluten-free dashi packets or kombu stock powder...do you know of any?

[@tofujelly]

I bake kabocha whole... I'm too lazy to cut it 😃

[@LinCecify]

How do you know if the kabocha is fresh and good to eat? The kabocha here sold in the Netherlands sometimes have weird stains on the skin and I don't know if that's normal or not🤔

[@Coco-dn8dv]

It’s the same as any other squash. Unfortunately the only “real” way to know is to cut in but there are tips and tricks online to try and identify which are still fresh inside- google “how to tell if kabocha squash is fresh”. The coloring on the skin should be mostly green and hard to touch, if you really don’t feel ok with eating stained skin you can cut it off. It should feel heavy and if there’s any soft spots try another. Good luck!

[@saiyan81]

Please take care of your kids..... 😇😇😇😇 I am watching your video🤤🤤🤤🤤

Looks so yummy
