Many of the health food cafes I enjoyed while in Tokyo had a small selection of items for sale—honey dried beans t-shirts and little booklets filled with cafe recipes. Almost all of them sold small packets of mixed grains. Some were barely the size of my palm and filled with tiny amaranth grains brown rice and millet. Others were larger and contained various mixtures of whole grain rice quinoa and different types of beans. I’d never seen anything like this back home and I was excited to come back and experiment with new grain combinations. This particular mix was inspired by a packet I brought home. There’s nothing inherently Japanese about the end result aside from the origins of the inspiration. It’s equal parts brown rice red rice and millet plus a bit of quinoa and amaranth.
