Miniyaki's - Japanese Soul Food

Miniyaki's - Japanese Soul Food uk based Miniyaki's since 2013. 2 caterpods. 3 menus. Calm, honest Japanese flavours. No fusion confusion. Herefordshire/Monmouthshire based. Do I do Sushi? Nope!

My mission is to bring you a taste of Japanese cuisine as you would enjoy it as someone living in Japan rather than just visiting. All you see here are Homemade Artisan dishes made by Miniyaki's to traditional Japanese recipes, using locally sourced produce, therein supporting local farmers and bringing you better tasting food! NO MASS PRODUCED FROZEN GOODS HERE! Having spent a decade living, work

ing, playing (very hard) and loving Osaka in Japan, I wanted to show that there is more to Japanese cuisine than 'Sushi'. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Sushi, but it seems to be the only thing that many people here associate with Japan. So I decided I wanted to do something to bring the Japan I knew and loved to the U.K. and show you all that it's not all about raw fish! I was very lucky to call Osaka my Japanese hometown. It is a vibrant, friendly city and the true 'foodie' hub of Japan. They even have a street called 'Kuidori' which literally means 'stuff your face street'!! Alot of street food comes from Osaka such as Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Kushikatsu etc. These dishes have been my inspiration and Okonomiyaki was my founding dish and still our signature dish now. The Japanese love to have home cooking parties and I had many great foodie teachers! With Miniyaki's what you eat will be a real taste of Japanese soul food that you will find in little back street alleys, train station street food vendors and outdoor festivals. But of course also your Japanese Mama's home stylee dishes, Japanese Bakery goods (Japanese Bakeries are a treat you really must experience) and hot and cold snacks the average Japanese person might pick up on the way to work or school from their local convenience store! I deliberately don't do sushi as that seems to be the go to expectation when you mention Japan. I adore sushi but it's just not what Miniyaki's is about! So, when you see us out and about come and eat like a local with Miniyaki's - Japanese Soul Food. It's great Pint Food!!

Sadly due to a house fire where we have lost one of our dogs and are a bit homeless, we won't be able to do any of the advertised events this weekend 😢 😞 🙏

I'm sharing this as this guy takes 'misconceptions' about Japan and roasts them! Both funny and insightful for anyone planning to go for the first time or those who know Japan and can laugh along. x

July to be continued....can't fit them all on!
