On Saturday, I wanted to make skewers and needed another veggie.
When I walked into the market, this packet of shishito was staring at me.
On top of that the price was nice...100 yen!
The other skewers were tomato with pork belly and ume shiso pork belly rolls.
I still have a little left so will use them for our dinner tonight.
It is a holiday today, Umi no hi (Ocean Day)...5 days until the Olympics and boy! are there all sorts of problems arising.
Have a nice week.

hoo boy, sure wish I could be there for this dinner. I love shishito and ume shiso rolls! That's a great way to grill them, on skewers. So izakaya :)
Had a bunch of friends who had booked trips to Japan for Olympics and even after. all their trips were canceled. so far, only the 2 who have tickets for November haven't been canceled (yet)!

V, I have heard of sea salt on dark chocolate, but pink himalayan salt also sounds good!
Take care.

Your peppers look good. And so cheap too! My sisters have been on a shishito kick lately. We've been getting them at the swap meet!
Thanks Jalna, hope to buy more soon:)
Take care!

I've only heard good things about shishito peppers so lucky you; not so lucky on the Olympics....Tokyo is in the news a lot over here lately - just gotta shake my head.
The Missus loves shishito peppers! I also use them to replace padron peppers for Spanish dishes as well.
The count of infected Olympians has also been rising Rowena :(
Take care.
