Discover new flavors! When you think of mixed dishes, you might imagine side dishes that appear in Japanese cuisine, such as shiraae or gomaae, but for me, mixed dishes are a cooking method for much more flexible "side dishes."

In this book, chef Akiko Sakata introduces "mixed side dishes" that allow you to fully enjoy the deliciousness of the combination of the ingredients' natural flavors and the fun of differences in texture and temperature. It is full of mixed dishes with fresh combinations you have never seen before. And yet, all of them are perfect with white rice. This is a book that will be useful for your daily meals and allow you to experience new flavors.
