The Biggest Festival of Japanese Food in Europe
HYPER JAPAN 2014 will once more play host to the biggest celebration of Japanese food and
drink this side of Tokyo: Eat-Japan @ HYPER JAPAN. You can experience a mouth-watering
array of demonstrations, food stalls, samples, and pop-up shops at Earls Court, London, from
25-27 July 2014. Read on for a taste of what will be on offer at this must-visit foodie event.
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

positive, with many

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

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. One

ever Sake Shake-Up Champion. The winner
was Ryu Okada with Nadeshiko Martini,

THE WAGYU
WAIT IS OVER
You might have seen “wagyu” beef products on sale over the past few years, but
they won’t have come from Japan: the import of Japanese beef into the EU was not
authorised until late 2013. 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.

There’s More to Wagyu
than Kobe Beef
You wouldn’t be alone if you thought that
wagyu was synonymous with Kobe Beef; it’s
a misconception rife even among industry
professionals. 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Depth and flavour that's all natural
Everyday Cooking with Japanese Ingredients 1
Soy sauce is an essential ingredient for Japanese cuisine, but is also
a delicious and versatile condiment that goes with almost any other
kind of food, too. 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. The magic of
KIKKOMAN's secret recipe is umami, the fifth taste, which gives that
special, unique, and satisfying flavour. Just add a dash to a dish to
impart flavour and depth without using fat. 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.
Soy Sauce
Add a kick to your food with
the king of condiments
Keep close at hand whatever the menu
KIKKOMAN Soy Sauce
KIKKOMAN Soy Sauce is a superb store cupboard seasoning for everything from sushi to everyday dishes. Baste your
Sunday roast with KIKKOMAN Soy Sauce before you pop it into the oven; it will transform the taste. Use as the base
for healthy salad dressings – try mixing with orange juice, grated ginger, and a dash of sesame oil. Add a splash to
spaghetti Bolognese or shepherd's pie, and glug into your gravy. Use to marinate fish, meat, poultry, or vegetables,
then add as a baste during cooking, mixed with ginger or citrus.
[ Serves 4 ]
4 duck breasts, skin on
100g flaked almonds
4 tbsp honey
1/2 fresh chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
4 tbsp KIKKOMAN Soy Sauce
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5. To prepare the glaze, mix together the honey, soy sauce,
almonds, and chilli and put aside.
2. Score the skin on the duck breasts and sear in a hot dry frying pan for 3-4 minutes on each side
(skin-side down first). Remove from the heat, transfer to a hot baking tray, and generously cover
each breast in the glaze.
3. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until properly cooked through. Delicious served with creamy
mash and seasonal vegetables.
KIKKOMAN Regular Soy Sauce in a red-capped dispenser
is most common, but look out for the 250ml size, and the
green-capped Less-salt Soy Sauce in dispenser and 250ml
sizes. Gulten-free Soy Sauce is also available. Another
KIKKOMAN favourite is Teriyaki Marinade, an all-in-one
sauce for marinating chicken and salmon for BBQs and frying.
Available at most major super markets or Japanese/Oriental
grocery stores. See p64 for buyer contacts.

Curry Sauce Mix
Spice up mundane meals with
this Japanese cupboard staple
From its roots in India, curry has evolved into one of Japan’s most
beloved dishes. 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

Ever yday Cooking with Japanese Ingredients
Rice malt, the miracle umami seasoning
Everyday Cooking with Japanese Ingredients 4
Koji is the term for a cultured grain rich in enzymes, and it is a
vital ingredient in Japanese cuisine, required to make many of the
core seasonings, including miso. 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. See p75 for
buyer contacts.

Sake
x Easy Otsumami Snack
All the style of a sake bar at home
Premium sake for stylish pairings
The popularity of sake is on the rise in the U.K., and increasing
numbers of restaurants, Japanese and otherwise, are including
premium sake on their wine lists. 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. Combine the wasabi paste, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and zest in a bowl. Add the prawn, red onion,
and dill, season with a pinch of salt and gently mix together.
2. Brush the slices of bread with olive oil, put onto a hot griddle and toast on both sides until goledn
and slightly charred.
3. Arrange rocket on the toast and top with the prawns. Sprinkle with black pepper.
Other premium sake: Daiginjo Muroka Genshu is an unfiltered
daiginjo brewed at a cool temperature, with hints of apple and a
smooth flavour. Kimoto Ginjo has a delicate ginjo aroma and is
easy drinking. Mio is a low alcohol sparkling sake with a refreshing,
fruity and unique sweet aroma.

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.

A Mayfair institution since 1978, Kiku continues to provide authentic,
traditional Japanese cuisine of the highest quality. The yosenabe, a masterpiece
by Head Chef Shiraishi, is a sumptuous feast where scallops, prawns, clams,
and fish combine brilliantly with assorted mushrooms and silky smooth tofu,
all delightfully fresh. The broth itself is made with dashi, fresh seafood and
vegetables and seasoned with the subtle tang of yuzu peel, elevating the
overall taste of the ingredients to another level. A highlight on the seasonal
menu is a creative alternative to the standard ebi-fry, in which prawns
are fried in shredded chestnut skin, where the slight bitterness of crunchy
chestnut skin perfectly complementing the sweet, tender, and succulent
prawns. Be sure to also try the hirezake, a hot sake steeped with grilled
blowfish fin, for a unique, smoky-flavoured drink to go with the fresh sushi
and sashimi prepared by Chef Hattori at the sushi bar upstairs. The bright and
spacious décor is the perfect setting for business and private events alike.

Atariya, a major fish wholesaler, boasts a clientele of a large number of
Japanese restaurants in London. 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. Meanwhile, the takeaway shop at James Street, located
conveniently near Oxford Street, is perfect for a gratifying sushi and sashimi
fix after a shopping trip.

SO Restaurant, the site of the culinary expertise of chefs Kaoru Yamamoto
and Tomokazu Matsuya, prides itself on offering Japanese cuisine with
a European twist. In the restaurant kitchen, Chef Yamamoto combines
Japanese and European influences to great effect, the refreshing octopus and
mini tomato salad being a good example. The wagyu beef sashimi is a simple
dish done well, with a special soy sauce complementing the richness of fresh
wagyu beef, while the grilled Iberico pork marinated with miso is tender, juicy,
and melts in the mouth. 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. At the sushi bar, Chef Matsuya’s sushi
and sashimi are of the highest quality, with the crab spider roll a sumptuous
highlight. SO also serves a wide range of sake, including a tasting set of four
varieties. Comfortable seating and friendly service makes SO the perfect place
for business and leisure dining, private parties, and seasonal events.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Founded in 1922, Hakkaisan is situated at the foot of Mount Hakkai in
Niigata and uses spring water that flows from the mountain to produce
its sake. The guiding principles of the brewery are to produce the finest
light sake of which people will never tire, and to apply the highest
standards of daiginjo production to all its sake. In order to achieve the
smooth and wonderfully pure and mellow flavours of Hakkaisan's sake,
the brewery insists on producing in small batches, using hand-made
koji mould and slow fermentation at low temperatures.

Urakasumi Sake
Both soft, refreshing Junmai-shu Urakasumi and the light, crisp Junmai
Ginjo Urakasumi Zen (premium sake where the rice has been highly
polished) are brewed slowly at low temperatures, using Saura’s unique
yeast. This careful process allows the sake to develop the elegant
fragrance and soft taste that characterises the brand. Both are excellent
accompaniments to fish and other dishes, their subtle, balanced flavour
enhancing any meal. The Junmai Ginjo box and label are decorated
with zenga, ink paintings inspired by zen philosophy. Both sake can be
enjoyed either chilled, at room temperature, or slightly warmed.

Otafuku Sauce
(Okonomi / Yakisoba / Tonkatsu)
S&B Wasabi Paste, Sauce & Powder
Tube wasabi is now a household item in Japan and beyond
thanks to S&B Foods, the first company to launch it, in 1972.
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.
Despite its delicious sweet taste, Otafuku Okonomi Sauce, packed
with fruit, vegetables, and spices, is low in sugar and salt. It works
best with okonomiyaki, tempura, tonkatsu, and hamburgers,
and is available in 300g and 2.1kg containers. Otafuku Yakisoba
Sauce has a refreshing tangy taste and spicy aroma, and pairs
best with fried rice and vegetable dishes. It comes in 300g and
2.2kg packages. Otafuku Tonkatsu Sauce, available in 2.1kg
packages, has a rich, sour taste, and is ideal with deep-fried food.

Magic Hand Roll Sushi
Kuki’s outstanding range of products, including pure sesame
seed oil, sesame seed paste, and black or white roasted sesame
seeds, makes the company the leader in its field. Established
in 1886, Kuki has always refused to use artificial ingredients
or additives, and employs traditional methods to bring out the
seeds’ full flavour. The seeds add a mellow flavour and sweet
fragrance to recipes, and make delicious dressings and desserts.
Kuki strives to maintain high standards of safety and received
HACCP, Kosher, ISO22000, and FSSC22000 certification.
Hand roll sushi is a popular form of sushi outside of Japan,
and this innovative product makes it possible to create stylish
and hygienic products that are easy to open and to eat. The
combination of the film, which sits over the nori seaweed, and
the wrapping method, makes it much simpler to prepare and
store hand roll sushi, which can be difficult to keep in shape if
prepared in advance. The film also keeps ingredients looking
great and tasting fresh. Fujimasa also sells nori seaweed wraps
for onigiri rice balls.

Japanese Pickles for export
Gourmet Mochi & Japanese Sweets
Tokai Pickling is the leading brand of Japanese pickles. It is
often said that Japanese people owe their longevity to a low
fat diet, rich in vegetables; winter preserves such as takuan
(pickled daikon) are a healthy source of minerals and vitamins.
Made from home-grown daikon, the manufacturing of Taro
Takuan has been revised to comply with additive laws in export
countries, which means this healthy condiment is now enjoyed
worldwide. 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. The core product range includes
gelato ice-cream mochi and chocolate truffle and cheesecake
mochi, as well as traditional daifuku mochi. Little Moons mochi
are made with non-GMO ingredients and are available in
gluten-free recipes. The company also produces artisan Japanese
products, such as matcha & sesame cookies, matcha & azuki
swiss rolls, and Japanese lemon cheesecake. Please contact the
company for a brochure and more information.
