BACK GROUND

• Cat Rice means it looks like dish for cat.
• That’s why how it got it’s name. It is not a balanced food that contains the necessary nutrition for cats.

Episode In Japan

In Japan, nekomanma is a simple dish of rice topped with bonito flakes and drizzled with soy sauce, so it is considered a simple meal.
However, it is also true that although it is a poor meal, it has a meaning of deliciousness that cannot be discarded, and I myself like luxurious food, but the simpler the meal, the more attached I am to it, and the more I want to eat it again!
I often think to myself, “I want to eat that again! I never forget the taste of food that I have eaten since I was a child, don’t you think?
Nekomanma holds such memories for me.

The Key Item

The more simple the dish, the more difficult it is to prepare, because you can’t fake the taste or appearance of the sauce. Soy sauce and bonito flakes are important, but if you want to eat well, it is hot rice. Not cold rice. Prepare freshly cooked rice, and while it’s still warm, top it with bonito flakes and drizzle with soy sauce. The bonito flakes will dance with vigor! That’s a sign to whet your appetite!
