Cairneyhill JAPANESE CUISINE A Guide to eating in Japan Cairneyhill JAPANESE CUISINE Japanese cuisine offers a great variety of dishes and regional specialties. Some of the most popular Japanese and Japanized dishes are listed below. We have categorized them into rice dishes, seafood dishes, noodle dishes, nabe dishes, tempura, meat dishes, yoshuku dishes, soy bean dishes, and other dishes. Please note that some dishes may fit into multiple categories, but are listed only once. Chopsticks are used to eat most kinds of Japanese foods, with some exceptions. Some of the most important rules to remember when dining with chopsticks are as follows: • Hold your chopsticks towards their end, not in the middle or the front third. • When you are not using your chopsticks, or have finished eating, lay them down in front of you with the tips to left on your chopstick rest (if provided). • Do not stick chopsticks into your food, especially not into rice. This is only done at funerals with rice that is put onto the altar. • Do not pass food directly from your set of chopsticks to another's. Again, this is a funeral tradition that involves the bones of a cremated body. • Do not spear food with your chopsticks. • Do not point with your chopsticks. • Do not wave your chopsticks around in the air or play with them. • Do not move plates or bowls around with your chopsticks. • To separate a piece of food in two, exert controlled pressure on the chopsticks while moving them apart from each other in order to tear the food. This takes some practice. With larger pieces of food such as tempura, it is also acceptable to pick up the entire piece with your chopsticks, and take a bite. • If you have already eaten with your chopsticks, use the opposite end to take food from a shared plate. Knives and forks are used for Western food only. Spoons however, may be used with certain Japanese dishes such as doriburi or Japanese style curry rice. A Chinese style ceramic spoon is sometimes used to eat soups. Some Table Rules • Blowing your nose in public, and especially at the table, is considered bad manners. • It is considered good manners to empty your dishes to the last grain of rice. • Talking about toilet related and similarly unappetizing topics during or before a meal is not appreciated by most people. • Unlike in some other parts of East Asia, it is considered bad manners to burp. • After eating, try to move all your dishes back to the same position they were at the start of the meal. This includes replacing the lids on dishes and putting your chopsticks on the chopstick holder or back into their paper slip. 83 rd Fife (Cairneyhill) Scout Group is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC029771 Group Website - www.83rdscouts.org.uk A Guide to eating in Japan Rice Dishes Rice is Japan's most important crop. It has been cultivated in Japan for over 2000 years. Its fundamental importance to the country and its culture is reflected by the facts that rice was once used as a currency, and that the Japanese word for cooked rice (gohan) also has the general meaning of "meal". The literal meaning of breakfast (asagohan), for example, is "morning rice". Despite changes in eating patterns over the last few decades and slowly decreasing rice consumption in recent years, rice remains one of the most important ingredients in Japan today, and can be found in numerous dishes. Japanese rice is short grain and becomes sticky when cooked. Most rice is sold as hakumai ("white rice"), with the outer portion of the grains (nuka) polished away. Unpolished rice (gemmai) is considered less delicious by most people, but its popularity has been increasing recently because gemmai is more nutritious and healthier than hakumai. Rice Bowl A bowl of plain cooked rice is served with most Japanese meals. For breakfast, it is sometimes mixed with a raw egg and soy sauce (tamago kake gohan) or enjoyed with natto or other toppings. Sushi Sushi can be defined as a dish which contains sushi rice, cooked rice that is prepared with sushi vinegar. There are various kinds of sushi dishes. Contrary to popular belief, the word sushi is not synonymous with raw fish. It refers to anything made with vinegared rice. This is often topped with raw fish to make nigiri-zushi but vinegared rice with cooked fish, other meats, egg or vegetables is also sushi. Domburi A bowl of cooked rice with some other food put on top of the rice. Some of the most popular toppings are tempura (tendon), egg and chicken (oyakodon), tonkatsu (katsudon) and beef (gyudon). Onigiri Onigiri are rice balls made of cooked rice and usually wrapped in nori seaweed. They are slightly salted and often contain some additional food in the center, for example an umeboshi (pickled Japanese plum), katsuobushi (dried bonito shavings), tuna or salmon. Rice balls are a popular and inexpensive snack available at convenience stores or given in packed lunches by families. Kare Raisu Kare Raisu (Curry Rice) is cooked rice with a curry sauce. It can be served with additional toppings such as tonkatsu. Curry is not a native Japanese spice, but has been used in Japan for over a century. Kare Raisu is a very popular dish, and many inexpensive Kare Raisu restaurants can be found especially in and around train stations. Fried Rice Fried rice or chahan has been originally introduced from China. A variety of additional ingredients such as peas, egg, negi (Japanese leek) and small pieces of carrot and pork are mixed into the rice when stir fried. It is a suitable dish for using left over rice. Chazuke Chazuke is a bowl of cooked rice with green tea and other ingredients, for example, salmon or tarako (cod roe) added to it. It is a suitable dish for using left over rice. Kayu Kayu is rice gruel, watery, soft cooked rice that resembles oatmeal. It is a suitable dish for using left over rice and is often served to sick people because it can be digested easily. 83 rd Fife (Cairneyhill) Scout Group is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC029771 Group Website - www.83rdscouts.org.uk A Guide to eating in Japan Sushi is the most famous Japanese dish outside of Japan, and one of the most popular dishes among the Japanese themselves. In Japan, sushi is usually enjoyed on special occasions, such as a celebration. During the Edo Period, "sushi" referred to pickled fish conserved in vinegar. Nowadays sushi can be defined as a dish containing rice which has been prepared with sushi vinegar. There are many different types of sushi. Some popular ones are: Nigiri Small rice balls with fish, shellfish, etc. on top. There are countless varieties of nigirizushi, some of the most common ones being tuna, shrimp, eel, squid, octopus and fried egg. Cooked eel and shrimp and Japanese-style omelette are also used on nigiri-sushi. Gunkan Small cups made of sushi rice and dried seaweed filled with seafood, etc. There are countless varieties of gunkanzushi, some of the most common ones being sea urchin and various kinds of fish eggs. Norimaki Sushi rice and seafood, etc. rolled in dried seaweed sheets. There are countless varieties of sushi rolls differing in ingredients and thickness. Sushi rolls prepared "inside out" are very popular outside of Japan, but rarely found in Japan. Temaki Temakizushi (literally: hand rolls) are cones made of nori seaweed and filled with sushi rice, seafood and vegetables. Oshizushi Oshizushi is pressed sushi, in which the fish is pressed onto the sushi rice in a wooden box. The picture shows trout oshizushi in form of a popular ekiben (train station lunch box). Inari Inarizushi is a simple and inexpensive type of sushi, in which sushi rice is filled into aburaage (deep fried tofu) bags. Chirashi Chirashizushi is a dish in which seafood, mushroom and vegetables are spread over sushi rice. It can resemble domburi with the difference being that chirashizushi uses sushi rice while domburi uses regular, unseasoned rice. 83 rd Fife (Cairneyhill) Scout Group is a charity registered in Scotland, No SC029771 Group Website - www.83rdscouts.org.uk A Guide to eating in Japan Seafood Dishes Hundreds of different fish, shellfish and other seafood from the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers are used in the Japanese cuisine. They are prepared and eaten in many different ways, for example, raw, dried, boiled, grilled, deep fried or steamed. Sashimi Sashimi is raw seafood. A large number of fish can be enjoyed raw if they are fresh and prepared correctly. Most types of sashimi are enjoyed with soy sauce and wasabi. Sashimi is thinly sliced, raw seafood. Many different kinds of fresh fish and seafood are served raw in the Japanese cuisine. Sashimi, while similar to sushi, is distinct for its absence of vinegared rice. Sashimi is usually beautifully arranged and served on top of shredded daikon and shiso leaves. The sashimi pieces are dipped into a dish of soy sauce before being eaten. The daikon and shiso can also be dipped in soya sauce and eaten; both have a fresh, minty taste. Depending on the kind of sashimi, wasabi or ground ginger may accompany the dish and be added to the sashimi as a condiment. Some of the most popular kinds of sashimi are Maguro (Tuna); Toro (Fatty Tuna); Ebi (Prawn); Saba (Mackerel); Ika (Squid); Tako (Octopus) Other popular raw fish include salmon and yellowtail. These are the most palatable for those still getting used to the idea of eating fish raw.

    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.

  • BASIC STOCK “DASHI” Dashi Or Basic Stock Plays a Fundamental Role in Simmered Dishes, Soups and Other Japanese Cuisine, Ultimately Determining Their Flavors
    BASIC STOCK “DASHI” Dashi or basic stock plays a fundamental role in simmered dishes, soups and other Japanese cuisine, ultimately determining their flavors. This tasty stock will greatly enhance the overall taste of food and by learning how to prepare it, cooking Japanese food will become more fun. PREPARATION: 2000ml water Warm up the water, just before boiling add: 40g kombu algae (previously soaked in cold water for 2-4hrs) When the water boils, add: 60g dried Shiitake mushrooms/Bonito flakes MISO SOUP WITH EGGPLANT “MISO SHIRU” Miso soup is an integral part of Japanese cuisine. Properly prepared dashi is the crucial element in miso soup. 1. Cut eggplant and leek into bite-sized pieces (soak eggplant in cold water first for few minutes to eliminate the bitterness). 2. Prepare dashi. 3. Cook dashi in middle-high temperature. Add eggplant and lower the temperature just before boiling. Gradually add miso paste and stir lightly. Add leek. Serve in small bowls. Instead of eggplant, other types of vegetables can be used in miso soup such as spinach, onion, cale, wakame algae or classic Japanese tofu. Taste of miso paste differs from brand to brand – some miso pastes are more salty and assertive in taste so it is necessary to taste the miso paste before preparation. INGREDIENTS -2 eggplants -1200ml dashi -90 g miso paste -leek “TEMPURA” Tempura is a Japanese dish of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. 1. Prepare sauce – Cook soy sauce, mirin and sake (medium heat) for several minutes. Remove the heads of the shrimps, shell and devein but leave the tails attached.

  • Chirashi in Autumn,One Bowl Wonder
    Chirashi In Autumn As the autumn leaves begin to scatter in the wind, I am reminded of a November visit to Japan where I not only enjoyed the changing colours of the trees but a visit to the famous Tokyo fish market where I encountered chirashi. Chirashi means scattered, a descriptive name for unassembled sushi served in a rice bowl. Raw or cooked pieces of fish, shellfish and vegetables are put on top of sweet, vinegared Japanese rice. The freshness of the fish at the Tsukiji market was amazing and although the concept of eating a raw prawn was a little daunting at first, it tasted just fine. Putting pieces of salmon, tuna, avocado, cucumber, fish roe on top the cooled rice can be done by fanning out the slices in little clusters according to type or by a random placement of everything. As with anything in Japan both approaches are done artfully. However, it is not meant to be a fussy dish but one easily and quickly prepared at home without the skill of a sushi master. Contrasts of colour and texture are key to an attractive chirashi and freshness of ingredients is a given. Sushi grade fish is getting easier to buy at Japanese grocers and fishmongers around Melbourne but if you are out of luck a lightly poached and flaked salmon works well too. Another ingredient that is delicious to add to chirashi is roasted nori (seaweed sheets used for nori rolls). It can be bought in packets as small roasted strips or you can briefly pass a nori sheet over the gas flame and cut it with scissors yourself.

Recently, the agronomic traits of DOA1 and DOA2 were altered, affecting yield and cooking quality. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the agronomic traits and cooking quality of DOA1 and DOA2 and those of exotic japonica varieties in different locations, including the Kamphaeng Saen and Phan districts (WS16). DOA2 was improved by pure-line selection. The results showed that the Phan district was better suited to grow japonica varieties than the Kamphaeng Saen district and that DOA2 produced high grain yields in both locations. Furthermore, DOA2 was selected by the pure-line method in four generations, after which five candidate lines, Tana1 to Tana5, were selected for yield trials. The results of yield trials in three seasons (WS17, DS17/18, WS18) confirmed that Tana1 showed high performance in terms of its agronomic traits and grain yield.
