Konnichiwa minasan, Here’s a Japanese Soup that works well when the kids or the hubby is down with the flu or got a little cold. It’s very health and easy to make, I usually make this soup recipe during the winter times when it gets cold here in Japan. Well, let’s get started with what we need to make this Tofu and Vegetables Soup. Shall we.

  • 1 potato, peeled gartered and thinly sliced
  • 125 g daikon(white radish), peeled quartered and thinly sliced
