Hi Savorthis, I don't know Domo, is it in Sakura Square? Last time I was, that whole area had really changed a lot.
I'm surprised you haven't tried cooking burdock. Your recipes have a nice Japanese flair. I wonder the name of your sweet pork stew?
The Japanese believe health is supported by eating 30 different foods a day in all 5 colors. I know my breakfast didn't have 10 different foods, so I like salads like this that combine different flavors and colors. I look forward to trying your Salmon Salad.

Domo is across Colfax from Auraria campus/Tivoli etc. It is right on the light rail tracks in a totally random neighborhood but has a beautiful Japanese garden and dojo. If you are ever back this way you should go! As for Sakura, while I learned to eat my first sushi there when I was maybe 4 or 5, I have not known it to have anything worth visiting (except the grocery store) in many years. As for the stew, I am not sure. A search says Nikujaga...? That seems right. Brothy, sweet, potatoes, pork, carrots...
I have the Washoku cookbook by Andoh which talks a lot about meals with all the colors and I certainly try, but had no idea it should also be 30 different foods. Lord.

Domo sounds like a real experience. Maybe this fall, if I'm lucky....
Nikujaga-- one of the first dishes I learned to prepare. It's the dish every bride learns to make before she becomes a wife. And then every section of the country has a slightly different version.
Don't panic , that's 30/day. not 30/meal. How do you like her cookbook?

One of my favorite restaurants in Denver is Domo which is "country style" Japanese. You can order several small dishes of raw fish on rice and the whole table gets about 7 dishes to share. They almost always serve something similar to this which I love. That and the sweet pork stew. I have never cooked burdock but am eager to try it.
