You must have noticed some of my favorite kitchen tools that make cooking and food preparation easier and faster like the Tofu Ninja Tofu Press and KitchenAid Cordless Hand Blender you saw in my previous blogs and videos. Here are other kitchen essentials that will help you make your Japanese dishes easier.

2. Make a homemade natto, amakouji and onsen tamago with Tanica Yogurtia yogurt maker
The reason that I got this Yogurtia yogurt machine was specifically to make amakouji and natto, as well as onsen tamago. Those are the three reasons why I was looking to get one of these. There’s actually one other machine that had pretty good reviews, another best seller on Amazon Japan, but I ended up going with this one because, one, I liked the color. It’s nice and blue. And then also the functionality.
Of course, it also makes yogurt too. If you want to learn more about my review about this yogurt maker, you can check the video below.
