Mille feuille nabe. It’s cabbage and pork (sliced thin) layered together and cooked in dashi or whatever broth you have. Pack it with other veggies, mushrooms, whatever is on sale. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, serve with rice or noodles.
I like to put the whole pot on the table and have people take pieces like hot pot.
Also a good time to break out any sauces you have. Ponzu, chili oil, sriracha, whatever your taste. It’s very flexible.


I like the idea, although our provinces would have to give up quite a bit of their sovereignty which would be a hard sell politically. We have more trade barriers between our provinces than the EU has.
We’re a good sized market, but not so big that the EU would be willing to put up with 10 exceptions to their rules.
