  • Washoku Guidebook(PDF : 3629KB)
    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.

Usually the outside pancake-ish layer is plain with a traditional filling of sweet red beans. Forgot your password?

  • Part 3 TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CUISINE
    Part 3 TRADITIONAL JAPANESE CUISINE Chakaiseki ryori is one of the three basic styles of traditional Japanese cooking. Chakaiseki ryori (the name derives from that of a warmed stone that Buddhist monks placed in the front fold of their garments to ward off hunger pangs) is a meal served during a tea ceremony. The foods are fresh, seasonal, and carefully prepared without decoration. This meal is then followed by the tea ceremony. (Japan, an Illustrated Encyclopedia , 1993, p. 1538) Honzen ryori is one of the three basic styles of traditional Japanese cooking. Honzen ryori is a highly ritualized form of serving food in which prescribed types of food are carefully arranged and served on legged trays (honzen). Honzen ryori has its main roots in the so- called gishiki ryori (ceremonial cooking) of the nobility during the Heian period (794 - 1185). Although today it is seen only occasionally, chiefly at wedding and funeral banquets, its influence on modern Japanese cooking has been considerable. The basic menu of honzen ryori consists of one soup and three types of side dishes - for example, sashimi (raw seafood), a broiled dish of fowl or fish (yakimono), and a simmered dish (nimono). This is the minimum fare. Other combinations are 2 soups and 5 or 7 side dishes, or 3 soups and 11 side dishes. The dishes are served simultaneously on a number of trays. The menu is designed carefully to ensure that foods of similar taste are not served. Strict rules of etiquette are followed concerning the eating of the food and drinking of the sake.

The question from a Tibetan translator temporarily stumped Emory biologist Arri Eisen. In Tibetan, every organism has a mind and a body, and you have to be speaking about one or the other, explained Geshe Dadul Namgyal, a member of the team translating Western scientific concepts into the Tibetan language. “I told him that Westerners don’t usually think of cells as having a mind,” Eisen recalls. These are the sorts of conversations sparked by a groundbreaking program to bring the best of Western science to Tibetan Buddhist monastics, and the insights of Buddhist meditative practices to Western scientists. Launched in 2006, the program recently became officially known as the Robert A. Paul Emory-Tibet Science Initiative (ETSI). It was the vision of Paul, the former dean of Emory College, and His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama Kay HINTON that led to the formation of the Emory Tibet-Partnership and Dalai Lama’s visit affirms the teaching and research of a special partnership the ETSI.

  • KAISEKI the Wisdom of Japanese Cuisine by Malte Härtig
    KAISEKI The wisdom of Japanese cuisine By Malte Härtig ******* Google translation, very roughly edited ******* Content: Why Japan, why Kaiseki? Tea and Kaiseki The invisible host The shell The Hamo and the potential of things The bamboo shoot and the taste of spring The rice and the essence Wagashi - sweets to tea At last - a cup of tea Recipes CHAPTER I - Why Japan, why Kaiseki? A few years ago I decided to look for myself. Especially in culinary terms. Until then I had cooked in a Berlin restaurant, which was decorated with Michelin stars, the chef came from the Upper Palatinate and cooked, as it was expected by the testers from the Michelin: French cuisine, with a regional touch. “Regional” was then also called “rustic”, and one could get also such things as black pudding and sauerkraut, to which champagne had been added in order to make it more delicate. I myself originate from the Ruhr area, which is in culinary terms rather undetected. My grandmother regularly cooked her traditional Sunday Roast. She had been born in Hessia and cooked a lot with horseradish sauce and salted potatos. At my parent’s home the traditional Sunday feast was a roasted lamb shank with a lot of garlic. My mother made her own bread and met like-minded mothers in a garage where they bought organic vegetables directly from the farmer. This was in the Eighties. It had something of dealing and somehow took place in secret. Grain eater and eco - these were common concepts at the time. Today, people say hipster and organic.
