    和 食 Traditional Dietary Cultures of the Japanese Itadaki-masu WASHOKU - cultures that should be preserved What exactly is WASHOKU? Maybe even Japanese people haven’t thought seriously about it very much. Typical washoku at home is usually comprised of cooked rice, miso soup, some main and side dishes and pickles. A set menu of grilled fish at a downtown diner is also a type of washoku. Recipes using cooked rice as the main ingredient such as curry and rice or sushi should also be considered as a type of washoku. Of course, washoku includes some noodle and mochi dishes. The world of traditional washoku is extensive. In the first place, the term WASHOKU does not refer solely to a dish or a cuisine. For instance, let’s take a look at osechi- ryori, a set of traditional dishes for New Year. The dishes are prepared to celebrate the coming of the new year, and with a wish to be able to spend the coming year soundly and happily. In other words, the religion and the mindset of Japanese people are expressed in osechi-ryori, otoso (rice wine for New Year) and ozohni (soup with mochi), as well as the ambience of the people sitting around the table with these dishes. Food culture has been developed with the background of the natural environment surrounding people and culture that is unique to the country or the region. The Japanese archipelago runs widely north and south, surrounded by sea. 75% of the national land is mountainous areas. Under the monsoonal climate, the four seasons show distinct differences.

  • Monosodium Glutamate (MSG): from a to Umami
    FACT SHEET INTERNATIONAL FOOD INFORMATION COUNCIL FOUNDATION Monosodium Glutamate (MSG): From A to Umami Has there ever been a taste that you enjoyed, but couldn’t quite explain? Perhaps you are noticing what has been coined as the fifth taste, “uma- mi”; a taste attributed to foods containing glutamate, an amino acid that is one of the building blocks of protein. Think about a bowl of hot pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese, a freshly grilled steak with a rich mushroom sauce, or stir-fried seafood and chicken with crisp veg- etables in a savory soy sauce. In all of these dishes, there is a common flavor denominator that may be surprising to many: monosodium gluta- mate, also called MSG. Is Umami a Fifth Taste? Recent research shows that in addition to the four basic tastes of sweet, sour, salty, and Did YOU KNOW? bitter, there is a fifth basic taste called “umami” (in Japanese) that Americans describe as “savory.” n Research has identified “umami” as a fifth taste, commonly referred to as What is the History of Umami? savory. Although valued in ancient world cuisines for more than 2,000 years, the taste of umami was not identified until about 100 n Glutamate, an amino acid found in years ago. In 1908, Professor Kikunae Ikeda of Tokyo Imperial protein foods, is responsible for the University discovered that a simple molecule gives foods a umami flavor. distinctive savory taste. He was studying a seaweed broth n Tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and called kombu, a traditional food in Japanese culture, and iden- walnuts naturally contain glutamate.

  • Evaluation of Roasting Effect on Selected Green Tea Volatile Flavor Compound and Pyrazine Content by HS-SPME GC-MS
    applied sciences Article Evaluation of Roasting Effect on Selected Green Tea Volatile Flavor Compound and Pyrazine Content by HS-SPME GC-MS Roberto Gotti 1 , Alberto Leoni 1 and Jessica Fiori 2,* 1 Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, University of Bologna, Via Belmeloro 6, 40126 Bologna, Italy; [email protected] (R.G.); [email protected] (A.L.) 2 Department of Chemistry “G. Ciamician”, University of Bologna, Via Selmi 2, 40126 Bologna, Italy * Correspondence: Jessica.fi[email protected] Featured Application: The characterization of the variation of the volatile flavour compound (VCF) absolute content can be an important contribution in the evaluation of roasted green tea quality, named Hojicha tea, especially with respect to the roasting conditions such as temperature and time. This is a very important aspect in the Hojicha tea trade, to obtain the typical “roasted” aroma and, at the same time, to maintain the widely reported beneficial properties of green tea. Abstract: The present study aims at the development and validation of a quali-quantitative headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME GC-MS) method for the analysis of odorants in different Chinese and Japanese green teas. A 65 µm PDMS/DVB fiber was used, and GC-MS was performed on a ZB-5 (30 m × 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 µm film) column. The main odorants in green tea samples were identified and the method was fully validated. Linearity (r2 0.981–0.999), sensitivity (LOQ 0.005–0.04 µg/mL), reproducibility (CV% 3.12–10.37), accuracy (recovery% 79.08–99.17) and matrix effect (ME% −9.5 to +4.5) were determined.

  • Downloadable Sushi Guide
    Courtesy of www.alighaemi.com THE SUSHI GUIDE – A LIST OF TYPES OF SUSHI 寿司 At over 200 terms I have attempted to compile as comprehensive a list of sushi fish and a guide to sushi terms and sushi terminology as possible. Sushi and its related fish can become confusing and many diners and restaurants, and lesser chefs, casually mistake and confuse the terms and the fish. The guide goes beyond sushi staples like shrimp, salmon and tuna. Many of the items may not be available locally or only have Japanese te rms. Where possible I have tried to indicate seasonality and availability to the alphabetical list of sushi terms and added my own subjective experience tasting the item. Incidentally, in Japan sushi has its own unit of measurement called Kan カン, which acted as a unit of measurement in the Edo Period equal to 3.75 Kg for fish or the equivalent to either 1 or 2 nigirizushi. Some believe it is 1 sushi, while others believe it is for 2 given how they typically come in a set comprised of pairs. Where possible purchase or order male fish. Female fish give part of their nutrients, and associated taste, to their eggs or roe. Additionally, it has been said that if one can pick a specific cut or part of a fish the rear side nearer to the tail is likely better. It has been moving more and is hence less rough. I recommend treating sushi with respect and focusing on quality as opposed to surrendering to the temptation of low-grade or cheap fish at the hands of uninformed restaurant owners and their chefs.
