French in Japan!

Homemade cereals bread and artisanal natural cheese from Komagata cheese factory in Isumi.

There is a cheese factory very close to our house in Ohara. Yes yes! a cheese factory in Japan! and not in Hokkaido!  But, sadly it is impossible to just go there and buy cheese... At least all my trials didn't success.
But, at last, I have found a place where to get some: Na no hana local products shop!!!

They have a selection of cheeses from Komagata and so far what I've tried was really good. A perfect match to my cereal favorite homemade bread!
A French girl, even in Japan is still French!!!

Chandeleur

Today is French "crepe day" called Chandeleur. I'm not sure I'm gonna make any tonight because I'll be back from work quite late tonight. Yet I cook crepes and pancakes very often recently and in many different versions: changing the flour type, egg/no egg, milk/water...
This recipe is one I like to prepare for myself when I manage to have lunch at home.
I use a mix of chesnut flour and of corn starch, some baking powder, one egg and a bit of water to make the dough for the pancake. I baked it in olive oil in a small fry-pan on one side only, thick enough and covered the top side with 1/2 fresh mozarella, 1/2 fresh large very riped tomato. Seasonned with thyme, salt and pepper. And ready to eat in less then 10min!
