Japanese dish 30/11/08

I cooked Nikujaga for my host family with Zun. 

It was a little difficult because cookware was different from Japan. 

At the dinner, I dished up it. 

My host father and host mother said "Smell is gorgeous!! It's nice!!", so I was very happy★

I'll give recipe to my host mother!!
