The Kansai Television drama Zenra Meshi, starring Yutaro, is getting an official photobook release on June 23, 2023 titled Zenra Meshi Official Photobook -Our Recipes Start Here-.   The unusual romantic comedy follows an elite businessman hiding an incredible secret–he loves to eat naked to relieve his stress. One day, this habit is revealed, and Ichijo finds himself quickly falling in love.   The official photobook will include over 30 pages of gravure photos of Yutaro (Miki Mahiro) and Shori Kondo (Futa Ichijo). Set as an epilogue taking place after the main story shown in the series, Futa and Miki can be seen enjoying a picnic date with a handmade bento and spending cozy time together in PJs at home.   Also included are 20 pages of solo photos of Futa wearing a suit and posing in front of a beautiful night scene and Miki wearing a hoodie in a restaurant that smells of spices. Both shoots were intended to look as though a lover snapped the images. The photobook also includes Mizuchi’s Recipe Notebook, highlighting recipes from around the world with comments by popular cookbook author Yummy. Fans can also look forward to plenty of interviews with the cast and crew along with behind-the-scenes filming and production details.

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s Easy Recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make an adorable Miffy Parfait using tofu shiratama!   Tofu shiratama can be frozen without hardening, so it’s great to use for cooking as well as making sweets.     Ingredients 250g refined rice flour 300g silken tofu ✩ This is about 1 bag of refined rice flour and 1 piece of silken tofu. Canned fruit or fruit of your choice     ① Put the refined rice flour and silken tofu into a bowl and mix well. ⚠️ Do not drain the tofu! Don’t add water, just these two ingredients.   ✩I knead all ingredients and then freeze it. Feel free to freeze it as dough, or boil it first. You can put them in Tupperware and store them in water in the refrigerator for a day or two. Don’t worry, they won’t harden!   ② Add the coloring. Take a little bit of food coloring and add as you like. Here, I’m adding the yellow that will be the center of the flower.     ③ After mixing the dough, place it on parchment paper and put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. You can shape it before placing it in the freezer, but chilling it will make it easier to work with.   ④ Cut out Miffy and her flowers. Place the yellow-colored piece into the middle of the flower. Roll the rest of the shiratama into balls.     ⑤ Boil the shaped shiratama while on the baking sheet. Boil the round shiratama as well. When they float to the top, place them in cool water.     ⑥ Place the shaped shiratama on parchment paper or plastic wrap and let dry briefly before adding decoration.     ⑦ Mix black cocoa with a little water, and using the mixture, draw Miffy’s face.     ⑧   Place the flowers and shiratama balls inside the glass, follow up with your favorite fruits! (If using canned fruit, feel free to add the syrup as well!)   I hope you enjoy decorating this colorful dish!
