Why this site exists
Weekday Japanese is an independent English-language resource for home cooks exploring Japanese-inspired meals. These are adaptable home-cooking guides, not claims of restaurant authenticity or laboratory-tested nutrition. Quantities use grams and millilitres, with a 15 ml tablespoon and a 5 ml teaspoon to avoid regional spoon-size confusion.
How to read our guides
Our articles offer practical starting points and explain the assumptions behind them. Reference links identify outside resources where relevant. We do not claim personal testing, professional qualifications, or product endorsements unless a page explicitly provides that evidence.
Recipes are suggested home-cooking formulas. Products, equipment, and preferences vary. Check ingredient labels for allergies, follow product instructions, and adjust seasoning thoughtfully.
Advertising and independence
This version contains no advertising scripts, affiliate tracking, or paid placements. If commercial links or sponsored content are introduced, they will be identified beside the relevant content. Advertising will be kept separate from the editorial information.
