Traditional Japanese cuisine, also called "Washoku", was almost completely formed before 1868 - the beginning of the era of Westernization. Despite the fact that Japanese cuisine is very original, authentic and specific, many Japanese dishes are well known outside the Land of the Rising Sun - for example, sushi, sashimi, tempura and buckwheat soba noodles. Moreover, Japanese cuisine is so interesting and unusual that it is perhaps its greatest attraction when visiting the country.

In principle, Japanese cuisine is based on a combination of just a few basic foods - steamed white rice with various main dishes. The meal can be accompanied by miso soup or tsukemono - pickles. The Japanese meal ends, as a rule, with a traditional tea party.

Very curious way of serving, practiced in traditional cuisine this people. Rice is always served in a separate small bowl, most main courses or ingredients are served separately. The Japanese do not like it when different foods and dishes come into contact with each other on the same plate, so they break them into different dishes.

Traditional Japanese cuisine recipes are characterized primarily by the sparing use of mammalian meat, butter, fats and dairy products. Instead, the Japanese make heavy use of soy sauce, miso, and umeboshi, making the local delicacies quite salty. Since Japan is an island state surrounded by the ocean, since ancient times people here love and know how to cook seafood. According to many food authorities, the Japanese diet relies mainly on cereals with vegetables or seaweed as the main course, a small amount of mammalian or poultry meat, and seafood. The most commonly used ingredients are rice, beans, eggs, flour, fruit, meat, mushrooms, noodles, soy products, vegetables and, of course, seafood.

Natural flavorings play a very important role in Japanese cuisine - these are dashi, soy sauce, sake, mirin, vinegar, sugar and salt. To remove the fishy smell when using raw fish, ginger and red pepper are used. But the Japanese do not eat garlic at all - this has been the custom since the time of Buddhist monks.

As for the method of cooking, the hallmark of Japanese cuisine is the very wide use of raw food- sashimi. The Japanese don't understand why cook foods that are tasty and edible raw. It is believed that the raw food diet is the reason for the longevity and good health of the Japanese. In addition, dishes cooked on the grill or steamed, as well as marinated in vinegar, are very popular.

The Japanese culinary tradition is also distinguished by a fairly wide list of classic dishes that are considered a real treasure of Japan. However, there are dishes that all Japanese love and eat - these are all kinds of rice variations with different ingredients, sushi and sashimi, miso soups, tempura (batter-fried foods), kushiyaki (something like the local barbecue) and tonkatsu (pork steak) .

Japan is an elusive, paradoxical island country and truly one of a kind. Over the years, Japan has managed to intrigue the entire globe by embracing modern advances while maintaining tradition. This is not only technology, but also cuisine.
When Japan opened its doors to the world in the 19th century, a lot changed.

Japan has always been considered one of the most mysterious and attractive countries in the world for tourists. We don't know much about her cuisine, but we all know what sushi and rolls are.

Minimalism is the main criterion for the Japanese. The food they eat does not require special cooking or any processing. And if you are lucky enough to visit Japan, then visit not only the famous Mount Fuji, but also some local restaurant to try Japanese cuisine. And no matter what the choice is, check out 12 traditional Japanese dishes!

Dish number 1. Sushi and rolls

Not surprisingly, sushi and rolls are at the top of the list of traditional Japanese dishes. The proposal to visit Japan in order to try the dishes, the recipes of which every provincial chef knows, seems strange. Today, in a restaurant with any cuisine, you can find "Gunkan-maki", "California" and "Philadelphia" without issuing a visa and a passport. The best taste qualities can only be demonstrated by sushi and rolls with the freshest seafood, and these are served exclusively in Japan. Each restaurant has an aquarium or even a pond with live fish, which are caught directly to the table.

Dish number 2. ramen

The second line of traditional Japanese dishes is occupied by ramen. Very popular in Asia thick soups: Thai soup Rad Na replaces the first and second courses at once. Japanese ramen is its close relative. It is sold by both street food vendors and gourmet restaurants. Ramen is a kind of assortment, because in its composition any component can be replaced by another. The base is a meat broth made from chicken, pork, and sometimes fish. Broad wheat or rice noodles, seasoning it with eggs, green onions and seaweed. The skill of a ramen chef in Japan is measured by checking the texture of the meat in the soup: it should resemble mashed potatoes.

Dish number 3. Tempura

Another traditional Japanese dish rightfully occupies the third position. Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun do not understand the popularity of American fast food - in particular, french fries. The Japanese spied on the recipe of the Portuguese missionaries fast food and made a cult out of it. In every house in the country you can find a special pan for tempura, which is taken out before parties, friendly gatherings. Fresh shrimp, fish, vegetables and even fruits are fried in it with a small amount of oil. A special taste is given to it by a batter made from an egg, ice water and flour, beaten to the state of air bubbles.

Dish number 4. Okonomiyaki

The Japanese also found a replacement for burgers: they call it okonomiyaki, which means “fish cake”. Grated cabbage or pumpkin, flour, cheese, egg and water are used as the basis for the flatbread. The ingredients are mixed and poured into a thin layer in a pan to bake a pancake. Finished traditional Japanese dish okonomiyaki is soaked in thick soy sauce and sprinkled with chopped tuna pulp. The size and filling of tortillas in each region of Japan is different: in Kansai they are much larger than in Tokyo.

Dish number 5. Shabu-shabu

Shabu-shabu is such a hearty dish that it is only served on the table during the cold season.

Dish number 6. Miso

Miso soup is served as a side dish to any dish other than desserts. It is made from miso paste made from fermented soybeans and tuna dashi broth. This base mix is ​​topped with pieces of tofu, wasabi, onions, sweet potatoes, seaweed, carrots and radishes. It is never used as a main course: miso is always served with at least one type of soup or two rice side dishes with different sauces.

Dish number 7. Yakitori

The Japanese could argue with the Caucasian peoples for the right to be called the inventors of barbecue. Since ancient times, they have been roasting meat on coals, stringing it on bamboo sticks. For Japanese barbecue, both fillets and entrails marinated in a mixture of rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and salt are suitable. When frying, the meat is poured with the same mixture, which is called "tare". Yakitori is sold in small shops found on every corner. The Japanese do not consider it necessary to spend personal time preparing dinner after the end of the working day: before returning home, they buy yakitori and beer or sweet carbonated drinks.

Dish number 8. Onigiri

If yakitori is purchased instead of dinner, then for breakfast in Japan they order home delivery of such a traditional dish as onigiri. Rice balls stuffed with beans, shiitake mushrooms or pork in a variety of flavors are eaten as snacks, including during work breaks. In Japan, they are more popular than sushi due to the fact that their preparation does not require special skills. The onigiri is prepared by the girls: they place the rice and stuffing in the palm of their hand, and then roll the mixture into balls. In restaurants located in Tokyo, you can try a variety of onigiri such as umeboshi - a plum filling with salt and wine vinegar.

Dish number 9. Soba

Wheat udon can be seen on the menu of any Asian country, so the Japanese decided to come up with their own kind of noodles. This traditional Japanese dish is made with buckwheat flour, which gives the pasta its grey-brown color. Soba is boiled, thrown into a colander and mixed with vegetables and meat, disassembled into fibers. In small cafes and fast food establishments, soba is added to chicken broth to get an almost instant soup. Eminent restaurants serve buckwheat noodles with crabs and lobsters.

Dish number 10. gyudon

Translated from Japanese, this word means "a bowl of beef." Acute a traditional dish, popular with Japanese men due to its high calorie content and satiety, is not inferior in spiciness to Thai culinary masterpieces. What distinguishes gyudong from soba is the amount of meat: when serving, two or three tablespoons of rice and a few handfuls of stew with wine are placed on a plate. Garnish topped with raw chicken yolk. The restaurants of the Japanese capital serve a variety of gyudon - katsudon with a chop weighing at least 500 grams.

Dish number 11. Yakiniku

Japanese men gather in a company, compete in the art of cooking fried meat on a grill. The brazier is installed on a clay pot with red-hot coals. Each man has his own recipe for yakiniku, which he does not share with anyone. In restaurants, this traditional Japanese dish is also prepared by a male chef using top quality marbled beef.

Dish number 12. Suama

Desserts are not very popular in Japan, but neither an adult nor a child can resist Suama. This cake is made from rice flour and fine cane sugar: the components are ground in a mortar, adding pink dye.
