Eat-Japan in 2013 was the U.K.'s biggest ever immersive experience of Japanese food Food and drink took central stage at HYPER JAPAN 2013, held in July of last year. An expanded programme of events and demonstrations, including the TASTE JAPAN area, sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, provided a unique chance for visitors to enjoy hands-on and sensory experiences with Japanese cuisine. Over three days, Eat-Japan @ HYPER JAPAN 2013 featured a range of demonstrations, including: simple katsu curry recipe, Japanese style rice burgers, healthy shirataki pasta, classic seafood roll sushi, cute fish-shaped pressed sushi for parties, easy nibbles to serve with sake at home, cocktails made with sake, shochu, and Japanese whisky, and even Japanese wine seminars. Feedback from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, with many picking up ingredients to start cooking at home. JAPANESE BAR & TEA STATION 1 2 For the first time, the event featured a Japanese bar and tea station with samples of Japanese tea (matcha, sencha, genmaicha, hojicha) and of Japanese alcohol (shochu, whisky, wine, umeshu, sake). While “green tea” is a regular on supermarket shelves, there is more to be discovered about Japanese tea. The tea is produced in a number of ways, creating a huge variety of brews. Japanese tea is also packed with naturally occurring constituents, like catechin Queues form at this chance to sample a unique selection of teas and alcohol SAKE COCKTAIL SHAKE-UP On the final day, the main stage was the scene of a very special sake competition, pitting three leading bartenders against each other to create delicious sake-based cocktails.

Now, for the first time, authentic Japanese Wagyu will be available in the U.K., so now’s the time to get your head around some key Japanese Wagyu facts, before getting your chops around this most delicious of beef products. W agyu, literally “Japanese cattle”, is In some cases, these regional brands of cattle may have renowned worldwide for its incredible been massaged regularly, or given beer, or played eating quality, from the characteristic classical music—but it is a mistake to assume that intense marbling to its unrivalled rich, these conditions are enjoyed by all Japanese Wagyu. buttery flavour, along with melt-in-the-mouth The way in which the cattle are raised differs by farmer tenderness and juiciness. and by region and the wagyu appellation is entirely Celebrated by chefs and critics alike, wagyu has been dependent on breed and ancestry, not beer or Mozart. described as the best beef in the world—but what What is common to all Japanese Wagyu, however, is exactly have we been eating here in the U.K.?

In fact, Kobe Beef is just one of 170 registered regional brands of Japanese Wagyu; to register, cattle farmers must satisfy a set of stringent criteria. The fact that it is Kobe Beef, rather than other brands, that has become so well known internationally is likely because of the history of the city itself—it was home to Japan’s first international free trading port, opened in 1868. Not that there’s any mistake in associating Kobe Beef with quality: the controls and criteria in the region are said to be the strictest in Japan. But the Japanese Wagyu tradition goes far beyond Kobe—just look for the Japanese Wagyu mark for an outstanding taste experience. The Universal Wagyu Mark indicates that a product satisfies all of the conditions required of authentic Japanese Wagyu. 10 Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com Shabu-shabu: Dip paper-thin slices into boiling water satisfying, and healthy too—there aren’t many meat products that can rival this list of Japanese Wagyu’s selling (or, rather, eating) points. What’s more is the belief that the satisfaction, both gustatory and psychological, of eating delicious food does as much for the health of the body as it does for the soul. If that’s true, then there is surely room for Japanese Wagyu in any balanced meat-eating diet. Making the Most of Japanese Wagyu Now that we’ve finally got access to the real thing in the U.K., it makes sense to make the most of Japanese Wagyu. Here, how lean meat is and how it has been aged are often seen as key to quality. But Japanese Wagyu is more about the aroma, taste, and texture of the fat. It might help to consider the two as entirely different ingredients, which are naturally best suited to different dishes. So how should this very special beef be cooked? First up is sukiyaki. The sashi marbling is an ideal match with the fresh yet complex taste of soy sauce. The seasoning sauce for sukiyaki, made with sake, soy sauce, and sugar, has delicate depth, which mingles with the sweetness from sugar for a mellow and moreish combination. Then there’s shabu-shabu. Ultra-thin slices of beef dipped briefly in boiling water then eaten rare. Japanese Wagyu is delicious rare because of the low melting point of its marbling. Just a few swishes in hot water are enough to start melting this fat, resulting in a super-soft texture rich with umami. It’s worth noting that the wagyuko aroma (see previous page) is said to be most evident at around 80°C, which is the temperature at which both sukiyaki and shabu-shabu are prepared. Next up, of course, is steak. Japanese Wagyu is rich, with depth, and highly satisfying. But it’s rarely served up as a hulking slab. Instead, Japanese Wagyu is best prepared in smaller portions, perhaps cubed, with a classic Japanese accompaniment: wasabi sauce or grated daikon radish work well. Of course, you could always choose to savour the outstanding natural taste of this beef by adding nothing more than a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Finally, Japanese Wagyu as a luxury sushi topping. Strips of beef, lightly grilled to bring out the natural umami, are laid across fingers of vinegared rice. The juices of the meat will soak into the bed of rice, making for intensely succulent eating. Of course, there are many other ways to enjoy Japanese Wagyu. The unique characteristics of the meat mean it is suitable for both classic beef dishes and recipes where beef from other breeds doesn’t Gyu Aburi Sushi: Quick grilled beef pairs perfectly with rice quite cut it. Now that it’s here in the U.K., perhaps the best way to find out how to make the most of Japanese Wagyu is to try it out for yourself. Mark Edwards Executive Head Chef, Nobu London Mark is a classically trained chef with extensive international experience in Europe and Asia. He opened Nobu’s first London outpost in 1997 and remains with the group today. It’s fantastic to see this ban lifted. I think for many people who haven’t tasted authentic Japanese Wagyu before this is going to quite an experience, but at the same time, restaurants which haven’t used the authentic beef before may well find it difficult to use because you can’t treat it like normal beef—it’s so delicate and so rich at the same time. That’s why, at Nobu, we won’t be simply replacing the beef we use now; instead we’ll be creating dishes especially to showcase Japanese Wagyu—elaborate tasting dishes, carefully prepared to make the most of this incredible ingredient. Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com 11 The Secret of Great Taste FIRST IS BEST Secrets of Beer at its Purest Kirin Ichiban is not your average beer. Made using the unique ‘Ichiban Shibori’ process, which translated means ‘first press’, for Kirin, there is no other way. It is beer at its purest. K irin Ichiban’s rich history spans over 100 years and is steeped in tradition and culture. From its origins in 1888, through to its arrival in the U.K. in 1993, the legendary brew has consistently won the favour of those who value quality but seek something different. With a single horn on its head and a pelt of five colours, the kirin is a symbol of wellbeing and good fortune from Japanese and Chinese mythology and is described in folklore as having the body of a deer, the tail of an ox, and the hooves of a horse. Brewed in the World’s Oldest Brewery Kirin Ichiban is currently brewed in the world’s oldest brewery, Weihenstephan. Established in Freizing, near Munich, in 1040, this famous brewery has a history dating back to the 8th century, when it was originally used as a Benedictine monastery. In Germany, the quality of beer is today protected by a Beer Purity Law and Kirin Ichiban is the first Japanese beer produced under these strict regulations. First brewed at Weihenstephan in 2010, the premium character of Kirin Ichiban is guaranteed by meticulous quality control. Kirin Ichiban is now delivered to destinations all across Europe. 12 Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com What is the ‘Ichiban Shibori’ process? Why does it make Kirin Ichiban so special? Ichiban Shibori, or 'first press', is the unique, uncompromising process by which this legendary Japanese beer is made - using only the sweet, flavoursome liquid from a single pressing of the finest ingredients. Other beers, brewed by less exacting methods, are pressed and repressed. Kirin Ichiban is crisper, richer, and purer – because only the liquid from the ly. onderful ly w d first press is used.

A Perfect Match for All Kinds of Japanese Food Brewed only from the first press of the wort, Kirin Ichiban is the ideal accompaniment to Japanese food, known for its subtle and delicate flavours, and is also great for complementing many other national cuisines. Kirin Ichiban itself symbolises the philosophy and techniques of Japanese cuisine. Düsseldorf-based Michelin-starred chef Yoshizumi Nagaya praises how Kirin Ichiban matches with his food, saying: “Kirin Ichiban complements Japanese food wonderfully. Both its taste and its well-balanced aroma are perfectly suited to Japanese cuisine of all kinds”. No wonder Kirin Ichiban is continually growing in popularity amongst Japanese food connoisseurs around the world. For trade professionals: see p62 Try Kiri and Gy n Ichiban oza!

KIKKOMAN's naturally brewed soy sauce contains just four ingredients – soybeans, wheat, salt and water – and is completely natural with no artificial additives. Its rich, mellow flavour comes from long months of unhurried natural brewing.

To control the amount of salt in the dish, measure the soy sauce you add with a tablespoon; one tablespoon is equivalent to about a pinch of salt.

The invention of curry roux meant that anyone could make a tempting curry, and Japan took this one step further, in 1950, with the production of curry roux cubes. These cubes are easy to use, employing the same principal as chocolate, which contains fat to keep it solidified at room temperature. They consist of curry powder, flour, and seasoning, and can quickly transform a mundane stew into a fine curry. This ease of use contributed greatly to the development of Japan’s curry culture, of which S&B led the way with Golden Curry Sauce Mix, which imparts a rich aroma of spices and herbs and is made with S&B original curry powder. Explore your taste horizons with curry sauce S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix works well with any combination of vegetables and meat, but it goes particularly well with onions, carrots, potatoes, beef, pork, and chicken. It can also be served with noodles, rice, or flatbread, used in casseroles, or even as a filling for pie. Why not try making a simple curry, with just finely chopped onion and grated carrot, then pouring it over rice topped with bite-sized pieces of katsu (breaded cutlet, normally pork) for a fresh twist on the increasingly popular Japanese classic dish of katsu curry. [ Serves 4 ] 2 tbsp butter 2 onions, thinly sliced 620ml water 100g S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix 900g potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 50g butter 50ml milk 1 tbsp olive oil 8 sausages 1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, fry the onions over a low heat until lightly browned. Add the water, bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat then add the curry roux, in pieces: stir until completely melted. Simmer gently for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. 2. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash with the 50g of butter and the milk. Add salt to taste. 3. Heat the oil in a frying-pan over a medium heat. Fry the sausages until cooked through. 4. Serve the sausages with the mash and drizzle with the curry sauce. S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix uses only vegetable oil and contains no meat or meat related ingredients. It comes in three levels of spiciness: Mild, Medium Hot and Hot and is available in 100g and 240g packs. The range also includes Pre-cooked Golden Curry Sauce with Vegetables, sold in retort pouches.

Koji is at the very foundation of Japan’s unique culinary culture. Koji is also a miracle seasoning in its own right, thanks to the enzymes it contains. A rich mix of these enzymes, such as protease, amylase and lipase, acts to tenderise other ingredients and to enhance their natural umami. That is why Shio Koji, made from koji and salt, is sometimes referred to as "umami salt". This saltiness is mild and sweet, and quite unique to Marukome Shio Koji. Shio Koji Alive with flavour: discover the backbone of Japanese cuisine Another taste dimension with Marukome Shoyu Koji Marukome Shio Koji Marukome Shoyu Koji, made from koji and soy sauce, is another condiment that can transform the way you cook. It’s incredibly versatile: use as a dressing base, a base for dipping sauce, a seasoning for stir-fries, braising, and sautéing, or as a marinade. Try this simple, umami-rich recipe: rub salt and pepper into a chicken breast, heat some oil in a pan, and fry, turning over halfway, until cooked through. Turn out onto a plate, sprinkle Marukome Shoyu Koji over the chicken, then add a dab of grain mustard. [ Serves 4 ] 8 chicken thighs, skin on 6 tbsp Marukome Shio Koji 1. Place the chicken thighs in a zip-lock bag along with the Shio Koji. Seal the bag, then rub the Shio Koji into the chicken well. Leave for 30 minutes. 2. Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 6, place the chicken thighs skin side up in a baking dish, bake for 20-30 minutes until golden and cooked through. Marukome, Japan’s leading miso company, offers a wide range of miso products, from authentic pastes to liquid products, which make using miso simple in all types of cooking; just add as required. With Instant Miso Soup, simply add one serving to hot water. Instant miso packs come with miso sachets and garnish sachets. Available at Japanese/Oriental grocery stores.

At the same time, sake is something people are also looking to enjoy in the comfort of their own home. Sho Chiku Bai Shirakabegura Kimoto Junmai is an ideal sake to have at home, since it pairs well with a wide range of cuisine, from starters right through to the cheese course. Sho Chiku Bai Shirakabegura Kimoto Junmai is brewed with a traditional labour intensive technique, kimoto, which makes this sake complex, with a fragrant and melon-rich nose, developing into a soft and medium bodied palate with a good balance of acidity. An izakaya at home with cheese and sake Sho Chiku Bai Shirakabegura Kimoto Junmai Sho Chiku Bai Shirakabegura Kimoto Junmai is wonderful match with a wide variety of main courses, Chinese cuisine, spicy cuisines, and, of course, all of the Japanese classics, including sushi or tempura. It also pairs almost perfectly with soft cheese. Try with a range of British soft cheeses—Tunworth, Wigmore, Bath Soft, Rosary Goats—as well as cream cheese for a truly wonderful taste experience. It is a versatile sake that will work just as well chilled on the dinner table as served with nibbles for a stylish drink. [ Serves 4 ] 1 tsp wasabi paste A pinch of salt 4 tbsp mayonnaise 8 slices of a small rustic white loaf 1/2 lemon juice and zest Olive oil 400g cooked prawns Handful of rocket 1/4 red onion, very finely chopped Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 bunch of fresh dill, very finely chopped 1.

Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com 27 Japanese Restaurant & Shop Reviews Japanese Restaurant & Shop Reviews Hare and Tortoise Sushi Bar Atariya Embark on a wonderful gastronomic journey to Tokyo at any of the four Sushi Bar Atariya outlets. Authentic and affordable Japanese food with an ever-growing menu is Hare and Tortoise’s winning formula. H are and Tortoise is making big strides towards becoming a highly recognised brand among enthusiasts of Japanese food in London, but you don’t have to be a hardcore foodie to appreciate the rich variety of Japanese dishes the restaurant chain has to offer. Its positioning as a restaurant that has something for everyone is reflected in the locations of its branches. Its Blackfriars branch, located at the heart of the City, is often packed with office workers on their lunch breaks, or businesspeople meeting clients while enjoying crispy tempura or the charmingly succulent maguro tataki. Meanwhile, the Ealing and Putney branches are more family-oriented, and are big hits with their respective local communities. The extensive menu is another testament of its commitment to provide quality Japanese food to its customers of varying dietary preferences; those more inclined towards sushi and sashimi can enjoy the freshness of the maguro, hamachi, and toro in sashimi or nigiri forms, while those not so keen on raw fish can tuck into the authentic miso ramen, the hearty unagi don, or the rich, tender, and flavoursome chicken teriyaki. Vegetarians, too, need not be put off enjoying Japanese food – Hare and Tortoise’s vegetarian sushi box, or its tamago nigiri and inari pocket, are great ways to sample the non-meat and non-fish side of Japanese cuisine, which is just as delightfully tasty as its meat and fish counterparts. High-quality food and reasonable prices…explain its growing popularity among people from all walks of life Hare and Tortoise’s wide selection of nigiri and maki continues to draw in customers on a regular basis: be sure to try the crowd-favourite Dragon Roll, an insideout creation with prawns, cucumber, and tobiko; the Spider Maki, where the crunchiness and richness of deepfried soft shell crab is delicately balanced by the lightness of cucumber; the Rainbow Roll, a alluring mix of the appetising colours and textures of prawn, salmon, tuna, and avocado; or the newly-added kani inari pocket, a fun combination of crab stick in tofu pocket. If you are into something bigger that allows you to sample the best of everything, go for the Gourmet Selection Box, a spectacular array of 21 pieces of meticulously created nigiri, gunkan, maki, and sashimi, perfect for a treat to yourself or your loved o n e s . To c o m p l e t e t h e feast of Japanese flavours, don’t miss out on the sake, umeshu, and yuzushu on offer. What is best is that you don’t have to break the bank to enjoy all these; Hare and Tortoise is famous for both high-quality food and reasonable prices. This also explains its growing popularity among people from all walks of life.

Its restaurant business now has three branches in London - each complete with a sushi bar - and one takeaway shop. They all have different styles and vibes, but the one constant is the high quality of the sushi and sashimi that befits Atariya’s high reputation. The Swiss Cottage and Hendon branches, with sophisticated interiors, are ideal for both business and private meals; be sure to try the black cod miso, where the melt-in-the-mouth black cod matches delightfully with the gently sweet miso, leaving a rounded, satisfying aftertaste. The Ealing Common branch, with a more casual setting, used to serve only sushi, but it has recently added a series of donburi lunch sets for just £10 each, and they have proved to be extremely popular.

The dessert platter - matcha cake, black sesame ice cream, and fruit mousse - is a great way to round off your meal with some quintessentially Japanese flavours.

A wide range of essential Japanese ingredients is listed, all with Japanese name, English translation, clear, full colour image and a full description. You can find out more about the ingredients used in out Everyday Cooking with Japanese Ingredients section. Meanwhile, trade professionals can refer to our Japanese Food Selection of recommended manufacturers and distributors. Rice & Rice Products 48 Alcoholic Drinks 48 Teas & Soft Drinks 49 Condiments, Seasonings & Sauces 49 Soy & Other Bean Products 52 Sea Vegetables 52 Seafood Products 53 Fruit & Vegetables 53 Vegetable Products 54 Preserved Foods 54 Noodles 55 Instant Foods & Frozen Foods 55 Flour & Starch 56 Snacks & Confectionery 56 Japanese Food Glossary Rice & Rice Products 酒 Sake See p58 Japan’s most celebrated alcoholic drink, sake, is brewed from fermented rice. Brown rice is polished to remove its husk, producing the smaller white rice grains used to make sake. Sake is categorized according to the degree to which the rice is polished and alcohol content: junmaishu (pure rice sake), honjozo (sake with added brewer’s alcohol), ginjoshu (the highest grade of sake), and futsushu (common grades of sake). Sake is clear with a slightly sweet taste and an alcohol content of 14 to 16%. It can be served hot or chilled. Rice Wine Hakumai (white rice) generally refers to polished short-grain Japonica rice and has been a staple of the Japanese diet since ancient times. Forming part of the traditional Japanese meal combination along with miso soup and tsukemono, hakumai is a highly nutritious source of protein, fibre, vitamin B, calcium, and iron. As well as being easier to digest than genmai, hakumai ’s glutinous texture means that it is easy to pick up with chopsticks and its mild taste makes it a perfect accompaniment to almost any food. Japonica Brown Rice See p58 Genmai is unpolished brown rice with the husks removed but the bran and germ intact. Slightly nutty tasting and more chewy than hakumai, genmai is both delicious and extremely nutritious, containing four times the vitamin B1 and E, three times the fibre, and twice the vitamin B2 and iron of hakumai. Going well with almost any ingredient, genmai can be used as a substitute for hakumai. Hatsuga genmai, or germinated genmai, has recently become popular, as germination increases nutrient levels and makes the rice more palatable. Japanese Clear Spirit Fashionable in Japan in recent years and gaining popularity worldwide, shochu can be made from ingredients such as rice, buckwheat, wheat, sweet potato, and corn. As in the making of sake, soy sauce, and miso, during initial fermentation a ‘starter’ called koji is used. The single distillation method used to make traditional shochu keeps more of the flavour of its ingredients while the multiple distillation method is suited to making cocktails and fruit liquor. Shochu contains no fat or sugar and is good drunk mixed in cocktails or on its own. Mochi is a sweet rice cake made by pounding glutinous mochigome rice. It is traditionally grilled and wrapped in nori, or cooked in soup. One such soup is zoni (mochi and vegetables), which is eaten to celebrate New Year. The stickiness of the mochi represents “sticking to your principles”, making it a good omen for the coming year. It is also used in many wagashi (Japanese sweets). 米こうじ Kome Koji See pp24 & 65 Rice malt, used as a fermented food starter, is made by inoculating steamed rice with the Aspergillus oryzae mould. Versatile seasonings, such as shio koji (rice malt with salt) and shoyu koji (rice malt with soy sauce) can be made by adding salt and soy sauce to rice malt then fermenting. Rice malt products impart a mellow sweetness to stir-fries and simmered dishes, draw out the natural deliciousness of meat and fish, and can be used as a dip or sauce. Beer was first test-brewed in Japan in 1853, following a Dutch recipe. The country’s first brewery was established in the 1870s and beer, especially lager, has since become very popular as an accompaniment to Japanese food. Japanese beer drinkers consider a beer’s kire (literally “cutting”), or ability to cleanse the palate, as being particularly important, and major Japanese beers are brewed for a sharp, clean finish. Since 1994, it has become easier for smaller breweries to gain brewing licences and the variety of original, regional beers has greatly increased. ウィスキー Whisky While using fundamentally the same ingredients and methods as in the West, Japanese whisky is made to accompany Japanesestyle meals. While Scotch whisky, with its smoky flavour and strong peat taste, is better savoured on its own, Japanese whisky goes well with food. Particular importance is attached to the harmonised balance of the basic flavour, which is not diminished when diluted, and a subtlety of taste suited to the Japanese palate that does not mask the delicate flavours of Japanese food. Awamori is an alcoholic beverage produced in the southern islands of Okinawa. Although made from rice, it differs from sake in that it is distilled not brewed, and uses Thai Indica rice rather than short-grained Japonica rice. The method for distilling awamori was first introduced to Okinawa from Thailand in the 15th century, and was refined using a unique white koji mould indigenous to Okinawa. Awamori is an extremely robust drink, and can be 60% proof, with its alcohol content rising further as it ages. 梅酒 Umeshu Japanese Apricot Liqueur See p61 Umeshu, with its subtle sweet flavour, has been consumed for over a millennium in Japan. This liqueur is made from ume, an apricot-like fruit with a high concentration of citric acid. Ume are mixed with shochu and sugar and left to mature for between three months to one year. Ume’s healthy properties make umeshu popular not only as a delicious drink, but also as a medicine. Ume are rich in potassium, calcium, and fruit acids, which aid digestion, break down lactic acid, and are said to increase the body’s metabolic rate and reduce tiredness. See pp62-63 Many other popular varieties of Japanese tea exist. Genmaicha (green tea mixed with roasted brown rice) is mild with a distinctive popcorn flavour. The most widely-drunk sencha is made from the coarser tea leaves harvested late in the season and is known as bancha. It is sweet and smooth to drink. Hojicha, made by roasting bancha leaves over charcoal, is low in caffeine and tannins, while matcha, the bright green powdered tea used in the tea ceremony, is made from a special variety of tea called tencha. 甘酒 Amazake Sweet Rice Drink Although amazake translates literally into English as “sweet sake”, it is in fact an alcohol free product, made from cooked rice and koji. The koji converts the rice into simple natural sugars, giving amazake its naturally sweet taste. In Japan, thick, creamy amazake is usually enjoyed combined with equal parts of water and gently heated, often served topped with ginger. In the West, it has become popular as a dairy substitute in baking and puddings, and can also be used straight from the jar as a topping for nuts, fruit, or yoghurt. Condiments, Seasonings & Sauces Soy Sauce Wine production only really began in Japan after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 made Japan more open to Western ideas, and the first commercial winery was established in 1877. At first sight, the high humidity and rainfall of Japan’s climate and its acidic soil do not make it ideal for viticulture. However, in spite of this vineyards have flourished in areas where conditions have been suitable, such as Yamanashi prefecture. The northern island of Hokkaido has also gained a good reputation for its wines. See pp18 & 63-64 A staple of Oriental cuisine, soy sauce adds flavour to many dishes, both in cooking and at the table. Made from soy beans, wheat and salt, and fermented for several months, Japanese soy sauce has a rich aroma and a salty, subtle, and complex flavour. Koikuchi shoyu, developed in the east of Japan, is dark coloured with a slightly fruity flavour that reduces fishy and meaty smells in cooking. Usukuchi shoyu, originally favoured in the west of Japan, has a lighter colour and saltier taste than koikuchi. たまり Tamari Teas & Soft Drinks Wheat-free Soy Sauce 緑茶 Ryokucha Green Tea Other Japanese Teas 醤油 Shoyu ワイン Wine Japanese Wine Okinawan Rice Spirit Rice Cake See p62 Japanese Whisky 泡盛 Awamori 餅 Mochi Rice Malt See pp59-61 焼酎 Shochu 玄米 Genmai 48 Japanese Beer 白米 Hakumai Japonica White Rice その他のお茶 O-cha ビール Beer Alcoholic Drinks See pp62-63 Ryokucha is produced from green tea leaves that are steamed and dried but not fermented. The quality of ryokucha varies according to which part of the plant is picked, with the highest quality ryokucha known as gyokuro and medium-quality ryokucha called sencha. The leaves produce a greenish-yellow tea with a slightly bitter flavour. The tannin in ryokucha serves to fight tooth decay. Ryokucha also contains caffeine and vitamin C and is said to be effective against diabetes, high blood pressure, and in reducing cholesterol levels. See p64 Tamari refers to the protein-rich liquid which comes from fermenting soy beans. Tamari is thicker, richer, and darker than soy sauce and is produced mainly in the central Chubu region of Japan. Little or no wheat is used in the production of tamari, which is actually closer to the original recipe for soy sauce, when it was introduced to Japan from China. An ideal, umami-rich accompaniment to sushi and sashimi, tamari has a mellow flavour and is used mainly for dipping, seasoning, and for marinades. Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com 49 Japanese Food Glossary 味噌 Miso Fermented Soy Bean Paste だし Dashi See pp65 & 75 Many Japanese swear by the old saying that “a bowl of miso soup a day keeps the doctor away”. Miso is made from soy beans and usually rice or barley, which are steamed, mixed with koji (a fermentation starter), and left to ferment for six months to five years. The longer the fermentation, the darker and richer the miso. Modern analysis shows that miso is an extremely nourishing and well-balanced food containing protein, vitamins, and essential amino acids. Most famously used in soups, it can add flavour to many dishes. Rice Vinegar / Sushi Vinegar Japanese Salad Dressings Dashi is one of the stocks which form the basis of almost all Japanese cooking. Dashi is commonly made by heating katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes), kombu (kelp), shiitake mushroom or iriko (sardine) and draining off the resultant broth. It is used for flavouring dishes such as soups, nabe (hot pots), sauces, and rice dishes. Dashi in easy-to-mix powdered form is very popular as it can be used to produce authentic-tasting Japanese cuisine without the effort that making stock from scratch entails. Japanese cuisine is full of examples of new great-tasting foods that have been invented by adapting the food of other nations. Japanese salad dressings are particularly good examples of this. Made from ingredients such as soy sauce, sesame oil and seeds, shiso, umeboshi, yuzu, and dashi, these dressings perfectly complement salads containing Japanese ingredients such as tofu, seaweed, konnyaku, daikon radish, and sashimi. ソース Sauce Japanese Sauces 酢 / すし酢 Su / Sushizu See p65 Made from rice, this light and mild tasting vinegar is an essential ingredient in sushi rice and sunomono (vinegared salads). With lower acidity than Western vinegars, it has long been associated with youthful-looking skin and longevity. Vinegar increases the potency of vitamin C, which improves complexion, and in the past su was used in cosmetics in Japan. Vinegar is also known for its anti-bacterial properties and this is one reason why su is often used in Japanese dishes that include raw fish, seafood, and meat. ドレッシング Dressing Japanese Soup Stock See p68 The Japanese use a variety of savoury sauces to pep up their food. Several are inspired by Worcester sauce, which was brought to Japan and adapted. As well as the thin, spicy Worcester sauce, there is a thicker, milder, and sweeter tonkatsu sauce, often used with the deep fried pork cutlet dish of the same name. In addition, there is a sauce formulated specifically for serving with o-konomiyaki (savoury pancakes), and a chuno sauce that blends both mild and spicy flavours. See p67 ごま油 / 天ぷら油 Goma-abura / Tempura-abura Sesame Oil / Tempura Oil See pp65 & 68 Sesame oil is used in stir-fries and fried dishes as well as for seasoning. It has a delicious aroma and a rich, nutty flavour, and compared to other oils is extremely stable and long-lasting. Oil pressed from toasted seeds is dark brown in colour with a distinctive, intense aroma, whilst oil pressed from using untoasted seeds will be lighter. Blending toasted and toasted oils or untoasted oil with other refined vegetable oils creates tempura oil, an aromatic blend used for the lightly-battered fish and vegetable dish so popular in Japan. 味醂 Mirin Sweet Cooking Alcohol See p65 A sweet, syrupy liquid, mirin is one of Japan’s principal condiments. It has an alcohol content of about 13-14%, which is often burnt off during cooking. Mirin has a subtle natural sweetness, and its balanced flavour make it a very versatile condiment. Mirin is used for dishes such as nimono (simmered dishes), for marinating and glazing, and in teriyaki sauce. As well as hon mirin or ‘real mirin’, cheaper mirin style condiments with salt or other ingredients added, and generally less alcohol, are also available. 50 たれ Tare Dipping / Marinade Sauces See p67 There are many dipping sauces used in Japanese dishes. Yakiniku no tare (barbecue sauce) is made from soy sauce, fruits, vegetables, sesame oil, herbs, and spices. It can be used both for dipping and marinating. Sukiyaki no tare, a mildly sweet sauce, is made from soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and dashi, and used to stew sukiyaki ingredients. Shabu shabu no tare, a dipping sauce used for lightly cooked and thinly sliced meats, comes in several varieties. Teriyaki marinade, featuring mirin, soy sauce and dashi, is also popular, as is teriyaki sauce. ポン酢 Ponzu Cooking Sake Citrus Vinegar Ryorishu is a type of sake (rice wine) made especially for cooking. It is often used in marinades for meat and fish to make them more tender, as well as to mask their smell. In cooking, it is often used to add body and flavour to tsuyu (soup stock) and sauces, or to make nimono (simmered dishes) and yakimono (grilled dishes). To enable shops not licensed to sell alcohol to stock it, manufacturers are required by law to add salt (2-3%) to ryorishu to make it unfit for drinking. Ponzu is derived from the Dutch word “pons”, which means citrus juice. Ponzu is the juice of fruit such as lemon, sudachi, yuzu, and kabosu, sometimes mixed with su (vinegar). It has a refreshing taste and is also a good stimulant, since the acid found in ponzu breaks down fat and lactic acids, which cause fatigue. Ponzu is most commonly used as ponzu shoyu, a mix of ponzu, soy sauce, sugar or mirin, and dashi. This can be used as a dipping sauce for nabe (hot pots). See p67 See p69 からし Karashi Japanese Mustard Made from the seeds of the karashina plant, karashi was used in ancient times as a medicine as well as a food. Bright yellow in colour, karashi is available in both paste and powder forms, and is used to add spiciness and flavour to natto, shumai (Chinese dumplings), o-den (a kind of Japanese hot pot), and salad dressings. Karashi is similar in nature to wasabi, meaning the intensity of its flavour is greater than that of Western mustard, and it is therefore used in very small quantities. Seven Spice Pepper / Chilli Pepper See p67 Gyosho is a condiment rich in glutamic acid and other nutrients extracted from fish and seafood. The use of animal protein as flavour enhancers can be traced back to ancient China and glutamic acid is the basis of umami found in foods such as kombu (kelp). Traditionally used in cooking, gyosho is increasingly found in processed foods such as sauces and dips and manufacturers are expanding in line with its worldwide popularity. 麺つゆ / 天つゆ Mentsuyu / Tentsuyu Soup for Noodles / Tempura 料理酒 Ryorishu Japanese Horseradish Wasabi is a root plant with a pleasant aroma and a sharp, fiery flavour. In early 17th century Japan, it became a popular accompaniment to sushi, promoting the spread of its cultivation. Wasabi is available fresh, when it is grated like horseradish, as a paste or in powder form. It is also mixed with soy sauce and used as a condiment with sashimi and sushi. When used for seasoning, wasabi stimulates the appetite and is also known to help prevent food poisoning. 七味 / 一味唐辛子 Shichimi / Ichimi Togarashi 魚醤 Gyosho Fish Sauce わさび Wasabi Shichimi togarashi, which means “seven-taste chilli pepper”, is a dried mixture of red chilli flakes, sansho, goma, nori, shiso, dried mandarin or orange peel, hemp, and poppy seeds. Popular throughout Japan, the ingredients and balance of the mix varies regionally. It is usually sprinkled on hot udon noodle soup and many other dishes to add flavour, spiciness and aroma. Shichimi togarashi is known to be a remedy for colds and flu, and is also good for the stomach. Ichimi means “one taste”, and ichimi togarashi consists of just chilli pepper. 山椒 Sansho See pp20 & 67 Mentsuyu, the strong, salty soup stock used in soba and udon noodle dishes, and tentsuyu, the dipping sauce for tempura, are made from dashi, katsuobushi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. There are two basic types of mentsuyu: kaketsuyu, which is poured hot over boiled noodles to make noodle soup, and tsuketsuyu, which literally means “dipping soup” and is used as a dip for chilled noodles. Tentsuyu is left to cool before being served, accompanied by grated daikon radish, with freshly fried tempura. Japanese Pepper Unique to Japan and China, sansho is unrelated to black pepper or chilli pepper. It has a strong aroma, subtle lemony overtones and creates a pleasant tingling sensation in the mouth. Sansho is widely used to add a mild spiciness and rich fragrance to noodle dishes and grilled eel. The buds, flowers and seeds of sansho are all used to flavour cooking. The leaves of the sansho plant, known as kinome, are used in spring to add flavour to bamboo shoots and soups. Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com 51 Japanese Food Glossary Soy & Other Bean Products 納豆 Natto Fermented Soy Beans Natto is made from fermented soy beans and has a sticky consistency and a strong characteristic fermented smell. An excellent source of protein, vitamin B2, iron and fibre, natto is often mixed with soy sauce and other ingredients and eaten with steamed rice as a traditional and nutritious breakfast food. Natto comes in whole-bean, small-bean, and chopped-bean varieties, and contains an amino acid not found in other foods that helps prevent blood clots, which can cause strokes and coronaries. 豆腐 Tofu Soy Bean Curd Tofu is made from ground soy beans, which are heated, filtered and hardened into evenly-sized squares, with the addition of a gelling agent, nigari. Tofu comes in three basic types: kinugoshidofu (silk strained tofu), the original Japanese tofu, fine textured and eaten raw; momendofu (cotton strained tofu), which is rougher in texture; and yosedofu (crumbled tofu), which is not formed into blocks but is mashed in appearance. An extremely nutritious food containing vegetable protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin E, tofu is delicious in miso soup, nabe (hot pots), and stir-fries. 苦汁 Nigari Bittern Nigari is the coagulant or curdling agent used to make tofu. Nigari originally refers to bittern or the residue, mostly magnesium chloride, of traditionally processed sea salt which was used in tofu-making. As bittern becomes less readily available, it can be replaced by chemical coagulants; however, recently there has been a renewed interest in natural bittern and many manufacturers will not use chemical alternatives in their products. 豆腐製品 Tofu Seihin Tofu Products Tofu’s mild taste makes it very versatile. Abura-age is thinly sliced tofu fried in oil twice to keep the tofu’s original texture on the inside while the outer skin becomes crisp. It is used to make inarizushi (sweetened and cooked abura-age filled with sushi rice). Atsuage are strips of tofu deep-fried just once while ganmodoki is a fried tofu dumpling made with vegetables and sesame seeds. Koyadofu is freeze-dried tofu which, once rehydrated, has a coarse, meaty texture and a richer taste than standard tofu. 52 豆乳 Tonyu ひじき Hijiki Soy milk is the liquid obtained by grinding soy beans before they harden into tofu. Soy milk has always existed as a byproduct of tofu but its processing has since been greatly improved and specialist manufacturers are now producing delicious soy milk without its disagreeable smell. Soy milk products contain soy bean solids and therefore protein. Soy milk products refer to the variety of flavoured soy milk drinks, as well as plain and processed soy milk. Hijiki is a porous, black seaweed with a surface that is less viscous but has more texture than other seaweeds. It is normally sold dried and should be reconstituted with water before use. Hijiki contains a lot of calcium and fibre. It also contains a high level of iron. Hijiki is normally simmered with chopped vegetables such as carrots, fried tofu, and beans, and seasoned with soy sauce and mirin, and served as a tasty side dish. 湯葉 Yuba 昆布 Kombu Soy Milk Skin Kelp Common in both China and Japan, yuba is made using the protein-rich skin which forms when soy milk is boiled. This skin is cooled and is then either eaten fresh, or dried. The texture of yuba means that when layers of it are put together, it makes an ideal meat substitute in vegetarian cooking. Yuba is a mainstay of Zen Buddhist shojin ryori (traditional meat-free cuisine) and has had a reputation for centuries for being an extremely healthy and nutritious food. Kombu is one of the main basic dashi ingredients. To make good stock, simply soak kombu in water, or heat gently in water and remove just before boiling. To make dashi, kombu is washed with seawater and dried in the sun for one to two days. Kombu is rich in vitamins and minerals such as iodine. Kombu is also used in a variety of dishes such as nabe (hot pot), kobumaki (rolled kombu), and tsukudani (cooked with soy sauce and mirin). Soy Milk Hijiki Seaweed Sea Vegetables Seafood Products 海苔 Nori Dried Seaweed Sheets See p70 Nori, a dried seaweed resembling sheets of black paper, is a very popular ingredient in Japan, particularly for the wrapping of steamed rice to make makizushi (rolled sushi) and o-nigiri (rice balls). Nori is also a very important traditional breakfast food, eaten with rice. Seasoned nori is also popular, and nori and seasoned nori are available in individually wrapped, bite-sized sheets and served at breakfast in the home or at traditional Japanese inns and hotels. It is rich in vitamin B1, which helps combat mental fatigue, and calcium. 鰹節 Katsuobushi Dried Bonito Flakes To make katsuobushi, bonito fish fillets are salted and left to ferment and dry for four to six months before being shaved into fine flakes. Katsuobushi is often used to make dashi. Kombu is heated in water on a medium heat then removed just before boiling. Katsuobushi is then added to the stock, which is brought to the boil and strained. Katsuobushi is also used as a topping for salads, tofu, and cooked vegetables. There are varieties of finely sliced katsuobushi made especially to be used as garnishes. わかめ Wakame Wakame Seaweed This dark green seaweed, with its mild ocean flavour, is one of the most popular seaweeds in Japan. Available in both dry and fresh forms, it is most commonly used in soups and salads. The dried product greatly expands when it is reconstituted either by soaking in water for a few minutes or adding directly to a soup. Since wakame has no calories, it is ideal for those who are watching their weight and is believed to help prevent hair loss. Fruit & Vegetables Gobo Burdock Root A thick brown root with a distinctive earthy flavour, gobo is extremely low in calories and has a high dietary fibre content that can help lower cholesterol. It is so healthy that it is thought of as a medicine rather than a vegetable in China. In Japan, it is often eaten after being soaked in vinegar to remove the bitter taste. Kinpira gobo is a popular dish made from thin slices of gobo, cooked with carrots. It also goes well with pork in miso soup (tonjiru). その他の野菜 Yasai Other Japanese Vegetables Many varieties of Japanese green vegetables are cultivated in winter and spring as they are vulnerable to the intense heat of summer. These include the carotene and vitamin C rich hakusai (Chinese cabbage) and komatsuna (mustard spinach). Japanese root vegetables are rich in vitamins and fibre, and include daikon radish and renkon (lotus root). Other popular vegetables include kabocha (pumpkin), yamaimo (yam), and negi (Welsh onion). These vegetables are used in a huge range of Japanese cuisine, from tempura to nabe (hot pots), and are also often enjoyed pickled. 香草 Koso Japanese Herbs Japanese herbs such as shiso are used to add an aromatic finish to various dishes, and tend to be used more sparingly than in Western cuisine. Asatsuki (Japanese chives) and nira (Chinese chives) are used to reduce the odour of raw meat and fish, and also have high nutritional value. Edible wild plants like fuki and udo and, in particular, takenoko (bamboo sprouts) are widely loved in Japan as they mark the advent of spring and are used in a large number of seasonal dishes and delicacies. 煮干し Niboshi 椎茸 / 干し椎茸 Shiitake / Hoshi Shiitake Small Dried Fish Shiitake / Dried Shiitake Mushroom Niboshi, sometimes known as iriko, are small fish such as anchovy and sardine that have been boiled and dried. They are used as a dashi ingredient for miso soup and stewed dishes. To make niboshi dashi, first the heads and internal organs of the niboshi are removed to avoid bitter and fishy-smelling stock. Then, to bring out their taste, the niboshi are split lengthwise, before being soaked in water. The pre-soaked niboshi can then be put into water, boiled for two to three minutes before straining. It is also eaten as a healthy snack. Japan’s most well-known mushroom is the delicious shiitake. This flavoursome, slightly chewy mushroom is believed to have many properties beneficial to the health and contains significant quantities of vitamins B and D. Shiitake is popular fresh and in its dried form, known in Japanese as hoshi shiitake, which must be rehydrated before eating. Some consider this to be richer in flavour than fresh shiitake. The mushroom can be used in clear soup and nimono (simmered dishes), and dried shiitake is used as a base for making vegetarian dashi. Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com 53 Japanese Food Glossary Yuzu ガリ Gari Japanese Citron Pickled Ginger Yuzu has a strongly aromatic rind, quite distinct from other citrus fruit like lemon and lime. Its zest is commonly used as a garnish while its juice is used as seasoning. Extremely versatile, it is used in a large number of Japanese dishes. Yuzu juice is an integral ingredient in the citrusbased sauce known as ponzu along with other Japanese citrus fruits such as sudachi, kabosu, and daidai. It can be used in savoury foods, cakes, ice creams, and liquor. Gari is prepared by taking thin slivers of ginger root and then pickling them in plum vinegar, giving it a slightly sweet taste, striking pink colour, and a pungent aroma. It is most commonly eaten with sushi, for which it is an essential accompaniment. This is not only because of its antibacterial qualities, which make it ideal for eating with raw fish, but also for its effectiveness in cleansing and refreshing the palate between dishes, allowing the taste of the fish to be fully appreciated. その他の果物 Kudamono Other Japanese Fruit Although the mikan (satsuma) was introduced to the West via Japan, many of the most commonly enjoyed fruits in Japan are relatively unknown outside Asia. The zest and juice of the citrus fruit sudachi is indispensable in adding a sharp, tangy flavour to Japanese cuisine. With their apple-like, crisp flesh, nashi pears are quite distinct from Western pears. Kaki (persimmon) and biwa (loquat) are both healthy and delicious while kuri (chestnuts) and ginnan (gingko nuts) are used in many dishes and snacks. Vegetable Products こんにゃく /しらたき Konnyaku / Shirataki Devil’s Tongue Jelly / Konnyaku Noodles Konnyaku is a hard jelly made from the starch of the root of the bulb of the devil’s tongue plant. Shirataki noodles are made from shredded konnyaku. Konnyaku is 97% water, rich in minerals such as potassium and calcium, and an excellent source of dietary fibre. With no distinctive taste, konnyaku and shirataki absorb the flavour and taste of the other ingredients they are cooked with. As they have next to no calories, they make ideal foods for those who are watching their weight. Preserved Foods 梅干し Umeboshi Pickled Japanese Apricot Sun-dried, salted, then pickled with shiso (red perilla leaves), umeboshi is a common everyday breakfast pickle in Japan, eaten with rice and miso soup. Loved in Japan both for its piquant taste and its medicinal properties, umeboshi is said to be extremely beneficial to the digestive system. Delicious rice balls can be made by enclosing umeboshi in rice and wrapping it in nori seaweed. Umeboshi can also be used in a range of other dishes, in alcoholic drinks, and also as a wonderful palate cleanser. 54 Japanese Food Glossar y Eat-Japan 2014 | www.eat-japan.com たくあん Takuan Pickled Radish See p70 Takuan is made by pickling daikon, the large white Japanese radish, in rice bran. Usually served in small slices, takuan has a satisfyingly crunchy texture and sharp, tangy flavour, and accompanies many Japanese foods, often as one of a number of small dishes along with miso soup and rice. Beneficial to health, takuan is very rich in vitamin B. It is one of the most traditional of Japanese pickles and is named after the Buddhist priest who is said to have introduced the food. その他の漬け物 Tsukemono Other Japanese Pickles See p70 Tsukemono are a cornerstone of the Japanese diet, and common vegetables used include cucumber and Chinese cabbage. Salt used in the pickling process helps the water in the vegetables to seep out, creating the characteristic texture of tsukemono. One of the most popular ways to enjoy tsukemono is as a garnish served with Japanese curry, in particular pickled rakkyo (scallions), which have a crisp texture, and fukujinzuke, a mix of various pickled and finely-chopped vegetables such as radish, aubergine, cucumber, and lotus root mixed with soy sauce and spices. 佃煮 Tsukudani Preserved Seafood Tsukudani is traditionally made from seaweed and possesses a potent flavour. It is usually eaten in small quantities with a bowl of steamed rice. It originates from Tsukudajima Island, Tokyo, where it was first made in the Edo era but is now eaten across Japan. The seaweed is cooked, with soy sauce used in the process along with mirin and dashi which help preserve the ingredients naturally for 2 to 3 months. Nowadays, there are many variations, some of which are made from small fish and shellfish. Noodles Instant Foods & Frozen Foods うどん Udon 即席袋麺 / カップ麺 Sokuseki Fukuromen / Kappumen Wheat Noodles Thick and chewy, udon noodles are made from wheat flour kneaded with salt and water. Their texture can be adapted according to taste by varying the cooking time, and they are usually served in a hot broth, together with ingredients like prawn tempura, aburaage, raw egg, or vegetables. They can also be served cold with a dipping sauce. There is also a flattened variety of udon called kishimen from the Nagoya region. Udon is available in dried, fresh or pre-boiled form. そば Soba Buckwheat Noodles See p20 Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour. As buckwheat contains no gluten, wheat flour is usually added to prevent the noodles from falling apart, although 100% buckwheat varieties are available. Soba comes in fresh and dried form, and can be eaten either hot in soup or chilled and served on a bamboo tray called a zaru, with a dipping sauce called mentsuyu. Chilled soba are often garnished with nori seaweed and eaten with wasabi to add a sharp, pungent flavour. そうめん / 冷や麦 Somen / Hiyamugi Thin Wheat Noodles See p20 Made from wheat flour kneaded with salt and water, somen noodles are the thinnest Japanese noodle – just under 1.3 millimeters thick when uncooked. When they are thicker than this, they are known as hiyamugi. It is thought that somen acquire a better texture when dried and allowed to mature for up to three years. Somen and hiyamugi are commonly eaten cold, especially in summer, together with a dipping sauce and garnishes such as grated ginger and spring onion. They are also eaten hot in broth, as nyumen. Instant Noodles / Cup Noodles Instant noodles are available in single-portion bags (sokuseki fukuromen), packaged with sachets of soup powder and condiments, or in cups or cartons (sokuseki kappumen). The most popular variety of instant noodle is ramen, coming in flavours including miso, pork, and seafood. Cup noodles are also available containing soba and udon noodles. Instant and cup noodles are particularly popular as a light and easy lunch for busy people, and can even make a satisfying main meal when combined with other ingredients. 即席みそ汁 / 吸物 Sokuseki Misoshiru / Suimono Instant Miso Soup / Broth See pp65 & 75 Instant misoshiru (miso soup), prepared by adding boiling water, is a convenient way of enjoying this nutritious soy bean paste. A pack of instant miso soup usually contains miso paste or powder and separate dried ingredients such as tofu, abura-age, wakame, and vegetables. Suimono is a delicate transparent Japanese soup based on dashi ; its mild flavour allows the taste and aroma of the ingredients to be appreciated. Popular ingredients include matsutake mushroom, sea bream, and egg. Difficult to make from scratch, instant suimono is a popular option. 即席ご飯 / お粥 Sokuseki Gohan / O-kayu Instant Cooked Rice / Rice Porridge Gohan (rice) is at the heart of Japanese life and freshly-cooked white rice is the most comforting of foods. But even so, ready-to-eat rice has become quite popular, especially among young people. The most popular form of ready-cooked rice can be stored at room temperature, and is precooked and pre-packaged for microwave heating. Simple o-kayu rice porridge and the risotto-like zosui are available in sachet form, ready to eat after being boiled in the bag for a few minutes. Chinese Noodles 炊込みご飯の素 Takikomi Gohan no Moto Chukamen noodles are normally made from wheat flour kneaded together with egg, salt and a special kind of carbonated water. The noodles come in different styles, the most common being long and cylindrical, but there are also curled and flattened varieties. Chukamen are most commonly served in soup in the hugely popular dish ramen, which has three basic flavours: soy sauce, salt and miso. Ingredients such as pork, fried vegetables, and seaweed are often added. Chinese noodles are also served cold in summer in a dish called hiyashi chuka. One of the most popular ways to enjoy rice is to make takikomi gohan (literally “cooked with rice”), where the rice is cooked along with assorted vegetables and sometimes meat or seafood. Popular ingredients include takenoko (bamboo shoots), kuri chestnuts, and matsutake mushrooms. A convenient way of enjoying the dish is to use one of the large variety of pre-mixed takikomi gohan, which are available in dried or vacuumpacked form along with many kinds of added ingredients. Chukamen Seasoned Rice Pre-mix 55 Japanese Food Glossary Japanese Food Glossar y 寿司飯の素 Sushimeshi no Moto 片栗粉 Katakuriko Dogtooth Violet Starch Sushi Rice Pre-mix Pre-mixed sushi rice products are a very convenient and useful way to prepare just the right kind of rice for those who want to make sushi at home. To make authentic sushi rice, all the ingredients added have to be in just the right proportions, so using a preprepared mix is a far easier option. It is available in powdered form or as a vacuum-packed liquid. Pre-mixes of gomoku chirashi-zushi (sushi rice mixed with various vegetables) are also available. カレールー / シチュールー Curry / Stew Roux Japanese Curry / Stew Roux See p22 Introduced to the country by British traders in the 19th century, curry and rice has become a firm favourite in Japan. It is usually made by frying and boiling the meat and vegetables then adding a premixed curry roux. There are many varieties of roux, ranging from mild to very spicy. Two kinds of roux can be mixed in order to get the desired flavour. Pre-cooked vacuumpacked curries with meat and vegetables are an even easier option. Similarly, there are roux for stews, as well as convenient pre-cooked packet forms. 冷凍惣菜 Reito Sozai Frozen Ready Meals / Ingredients Flour & Starch 天ぷら粉 Tempurako See p71 Made from wheat flour, baking powder, powdered egg and other ingredients, tempura flour is made into a batter to produce the wonderfully crispy Japanese fritters known as tempura. Since it is difficult to make perfect tempura, it is easier to use a premix. Tempurako gives tempura its unique crispy texture and retains the flavour of the ingredients it coats such as prawns, aubergine and shiitake mushrooms. Although tempurako is made for tempura, it can also be used for o-konomiyaki (savoury pancakes) to add a lighter texture. 56 パン粉 Panko Breadcrumbs Snacks & Confectionery せんべい / あられ Senbei / Arare Rice Crackers Senbei and arare are traditional snacks consumed in Japan for over 1,200 years. Senbei are crispy crackers made from Japonica rice. They are usually flat in shape, and are fried or traditionally baked over charcoal, giving them their distinctive aroma. Senbei can be salted, flavoured with soy sauce or shrimp, sesame-coated, baked with soy beans or nuts inside, sugar-puffed or wrapped in seaweed (norimaki ). Arare are smaller bite-sized versions of senbei, made from glutinous rice. They too come in a variety of flavours and colours. 和菓子 Wagashi Traditional Japanese Sweets JAPANESE FOOD SELECTION See p71 Japanese breadcrumbs, known as panko, are popular throughout Asia, and thought to be lighter and fluffier than European breadcrumbs – likely because bread crusts are not used to make panko – giving finished dishes a distinctive, airy crunch, thanks to the fact that panko does not absorb as much oil as ordinary breadcrumbs. Panko is a crucial ingredient for the popular tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet), and can be used to coat chicken, fish, and vegetables before frying. Panko is also a great binding agent for fishcakes. See p71 Sozai is a term for Japanese everyday side dishes. Often put in bento lunchboxes, typical sozai include tempura, croquettes, meat cutlets, omelettes, spring rolls, fried fish and gyoza and shumai dumplings. Frozen sozai that can be cooked in the microwave or oven are a popular and convenient option for busy working parents who need to prepare lunchboxes for their children. Fried foods such as croquettes, spring rolls, and tempura are particularly appreciated as it takes a lot of time and effort to cook them from scratch. Tempura Flour Taken from the dogtooth violet plant, katakuriko is a white powder without any taste or smell, used to thicken soups and sauces. Another way of utilising katakuriko is to mix it with spices and lightly sprinkle it over pieces of chicken or other ingredients before frying them. A very versatile foodstuff, katakuriko helps keep the nutrients and the taste of the ingredients in the food. Nowadays, potato starch or cornstarch are often used as a substitute for katakuriko, since natural dogtooth violet starch has become very expensive. See p71 Wagashi are traditional confectionery, considered delicacies in Japan. The making of wagashi is a fine art, as their shape and design are as important as their taste. An integral part of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, each wagashi often represents one of the seasons or a locality. They contain local and seasonal ingredients such as fruit and vegetables. Wagashi can be steamed, baked or made from jelly; there are also half-dried and dried varieties, which keep for longer. Using natural ingredients, wagashi are said to be healthier than the average sweet.

Italpo is able to supply Japanese food distributors, sushi factories, and other businesses requiring top quality rice, offering a choice of main brand Okomesan or other private brands where required. Italpo can supply organic white rice and organic brown rice. The rice is produced using Japanese rice-milling machines for a delicious, just-polished flavour. Miola, made with naturally-occurring enzymes amylase and protease, has been developed to guarantee perfectly soft, fluffy rice every time. Miola ensures consistently delicious rice by boosting water absorption and quickening the transformation of rigid beta-starch to soft alpha-starch; it can also prevent undercooking. Rice cooked with Miola also keeps fresher for longer. Miola is available in two types: Rice Miola for white rice and Rice Miola Gold for sushi rice. Ideally, sushi rice should be light and full of air, and Rice Miola Gold is widely used by professional sushi chefs in Japan to achieve this. ITALPO ENTERPRISE. S.r.l.

Before then, wasabi had to be freshly grated or made up from powder with water; however, fresh wasabi was expensive and the powder inconvenient. In response, S&B proposed the idea of dispensing wasabi from a tube, a convenience ensuring just the right amount anytime. Tube condiments quickly became an indispensable part of home cooking, and today they account for about half of all condiments and spices sold in Japan.

Traditional pickles are a flavourful and colourful addition to any meal, including sushi. Little Moons are a U.K. manufacturer of gourmet Japanese sweets, distributing across Europe.
