Japanese dinner recipes for families
Japanese dinners sized for a family weeknight, every one tagged at the ingredient level so you can see what it contains before you start cooking.
How we decide: a recipe qualifies only if every ingredient row is clear, not just the title. We do not evaluate manufacturing cross-contamination — always check the label on packaged goods.

Questions parents ask
Are these Japanese recipes allergy-filtered?
Every recipe lists what it is free from and what it contains, derived from its ingredient rows rather than its title. In the app you set each person’s allergens and severity, and only the recipes that clear all of them get planned.
Do I need specialist ingredients?
No. Every recipe here is built from what an ordinary US grocery store carries, and the prep and cook times are recorded honestly.
Get a japanese week, not a list.
The app picks seven of these around your family's tastes and hands you one grocery list, sorted by aisle.
