Japan has always been considered one of the most mysterious and attractive countries in the world for tourists. We know little about her kitchen, but we all know what sushi and rolls are.
Minimalism is the main criterion of the Japanese. The food they consume does not require special cooking or any kind of 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, you will lose your choice, look at 12 traditional Japanese dishes!
Not surprisingly, sushi and rolls are in first place in the list of traditional Japanese dishes. The offer to visit Japan in order to try dishes, the recipes of which every provincial cook knows, seems strange. Today, in a restaurant with any cuisine, one can find “Gunkan-Maki”, “California” and “Philadelphia” without making out a visa and international passport. Only sushi and rolls with the freshest seafood can demonstrate the best taste, and these are served exclusively in Japan. At each restaurant there is an aquarium or even a pond with live fish that is caught directly to the table.
The second line of traditional Japanese dishes is ramen. Thick soups are very popular in Asia: Thai soup Rad Na Na immediately replaces the first and second courses. Japanese ramen is his close relative. It is sold by street food vendors and gourmet restaurants. Ramen is a kind of assorted, because in its composition any component can be replaced by another. The basis is broth made from chicken, pork, and sometimes fish. Broth is boiled with broad wheat or rice noodles, seasoning it with eggs, green onions and algae. The skill of the ramen cook in Japan is measured by checking the texture of the meat in the soup: it should look like mashed potatoes.
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 Portuguese missionaries Japanese peeped recipe for lenten dishes and made him a cult. In each house of the country, you can find a special pan for tempura, which is obtained before parties, friendly get-togethers. A small amount of oil in it fry fresh shrimp, fish, vegetables and even fruit. Special flavor gives him the batter of eggs, ice water and flour, beaten to the state of air bubbles.
Japanese burgers also found a replacement: they call it okonomiyaki, which means "cake with fish." As a basis for flat bread, grated cabbage or pumpkin, flour, cheese, egg and water are used. The ingredients are mixed and poured into a thin layer on the pan to bake the pancake. Ready Okonomiyaki is a traditional Japanese dish soaked in thick soy sauce and sprinkled with chopped tuna pulp. The size and filling of the cakes in each region of Japan are different: in Kansai, they are much larger than in Tokyo.
This traditional Japanese dish gets its name from one of the types of kitchenware. Shabu-shabu is a deep metal plate that can be heated in the oven or on an open fire. Pour broth with vegetables, tofu and noodles into it. Meat sliced from duck, pork, lobster and chicken fillet is served separately: its pieces are dipped in heated broth just before use. Shabu-shabu is such a hearty dish that it is served on the table only during the cold season.
Miso soup is served as a side dish to any other dish, except desserts. It is made from miso paste made from fermented soybeans and tuna dashi broth. This basic blend is supplemented with tofu, wasabi, onion, sweet potato, seaweed, carrot and radish. It is never used as a main dish: at least one type of soup or two rice side dishes with different sauces are always served to miso.
The Japanese could argue with the Caucasian peoples for the right to be called inventors of barbecue. Since ancient times, they have been roasting meat on coals, stringing it on bamboo sticks. For kebabs in Japanese, both fillets and entrails marinated in a mixture of rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and salt are suitable. When frying, the meat is watered with the same mixture, which is called “tare”. Yakitori are sold in small shops found on every corner. After the end of the working day, the Japanese do not consider it necessary to spend personal time preparing dinner: before returning home, they buy yakitori and beer or sweet carbonated drinks.
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 filled with beans, shiitake mushrooms or pork with different flavors are eaten as snacks, including during a working break. In Japan, they are more popular than sushi due to the fact that their preparation does not require special skills. They cook onigiri girls: they put rice and stuffing on the palm, and then roll the balls out of the mixture. In restaurants located in Tokyo, you can try this kind of onigiri as umeboshi - plum filling with salt and wine vinegar.
Wheat udon can be seen in the menu of any Asian country, so the Japanese decided to invent their own variety of noodles. This is a traditional Japanese dish made from buckwheat flour, giving pasta a gray-brown color. Sob boil, recline in a colander and mixed with vegetables and meat, disassembled into fibers. In small cafes and fast-food outlets, soba is added to chicken broth to get almost instant cooking soup. Famous restaurants serve buckwheat noodles with crabs and lobsters.
Translated from Japanese, the word means "bowl of beef." A sharp traditional dish, popular among Japanese men because of its high calorie content and satiety, is not inferior in its sharpness to Thai culinary delights. The quantity of meat differs from celery: two or three tablespoons of rice and a handful of stewed meat with wine are put on the plate when served. On top of the side dish is decorated with raw chicken yolk. The restaurants in the Japanese capital serve a variety of gyudon - katsudon with a chop weighing at least 500 grams.
Japanese men are going to the company, competing in the art of cooking roasted meat on the grill. The roaster is installed on a clay pot with hot coals. Every man has his own recipe for a yakinik whom he does not share with anyone. In restaurants, this traditional Japanese dish is also prepared by a male chef using marble beef of the highest category.
Desserts are not particularly 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 ingredients are ground in a mortar, adding a pink dye. The color of sakura petals symbolizes this country, so chefs are not allowed to change the shade of the dye.
In terms of beer consumption, Japan ranks fourth in the world. In addition to the usual barley, rice and even corn are made here. Most Japanese prefer to drink in pubs, where a large selection of beer and snacks. Despite the influence of European traditions of brewing, snacks are prepared according to the rules of classic Japanese cuisine.
Tempura is a category of seafood and vegetable dishes, which is dipped in batter and fried in deep fat. Ebi tempura (based on fresh shrimps) is one of the most popular beer snacks in Japan. The perfect batter, in the Japanese view, is the one that is fried to a crisp, leaving the filling almost cold.
In Japan, the traditional for Europe potato chips were replaced by lighter rice. They are prepared on the basis of white or unrefined rice. And due to the fact that rice absorbs less fat than potatoes, the snack contains less calories. Often to enhance the flavor in the composition of rice chips include shrimp and algae.
Squid rings in batter - a classic beer snack in China and Japan. In China, they are cooked in spicy batter, in Japan - in tempura. Unlike the Ebi tempura shrimp, which are fried raw, the squid carcass is pre-boiled in salted water, then cut into rings, dipped in batter and fried in deep fat. Served hot to light rice beer.
Karaaga is slices of chicken fillet marinated in soy ginger sauce and deep fried. To prepare this dish in Japan sold the same sauce. With it, you can achieve a classic spicy taste. Snack is served to rich beers.
Another light chicken snack is yakitori. In the classic version, these are chicken fillet pieces that are strung on bamboo skewers and fried on charcoal. But in some regions of Japan, kusiyaki carry the same name - similar dishes from pork, beef, fish and seafood. In the process of frying, the meat is poured over tare sauce (mirin, soy sauce and sugar) or lemon juice. Serve yakitori hot with the same sauce.

Japanese cuisine Japanese cuisine is popular in our country. For a long time the country was closed from the influence of other cultures, which allowed it to retain its originality and originality. Such isolation also concerned kitchens.
Traditional Japanese dishes have their own characteristics. They do not contain a large number of ingredients. This is mainly rice, noodles, vegetables, fish and seafood. Meat dishes in Japanese cuisine appeared relatively recently. The culture of using this product was borrowed from other cultures, primarily Chinese and European.
The process of cooking Japanese dishes does not provide for long-term heat treatment. They are stewed, boiled, steamed for a short time. Many of the vegetables included in the recipes are consumed raw. In this way, Japanese chefs try to keep the taste of each product unchanged.
Traditional Japanese cuisine recipes offers a wide variety. Most of them use rice and fish or seafood. For most of our compatriots, the main dishes that Japanese cuisine offers are sushi and rolls. Today in our supermarkets it is easy to find the necessary set of products to prepare them yourself.
Another Japanese dish that slept popular in our country is yakitori. These are chicken pieces, fried on bamboo skewers. Despite the fact that it is prepared from poultry meat and appeared later than the traditional cuisine, it can often be found on the table in the Land of the Rising Sun. In a similar way, fish is cooked in Japan.
In addition to the popular rice, Japanese home cooking includes noodles used as a side dish. It is presented in three forms. Two - ramen and udon (differing in the presence of eggs in the composition), are prepared from wheat flour. The third type is soba, for which buckwheat flour is used. Served noodles with vegetables, fish meat, seafood. Recommended use of sauces.
Almost all dishes in Japan are served with sauces. They are designed to hide the pronounced smell of some dishes or emphasize the taste of individual ingredients.
The most common is soy sauce. It is made from beans, wheat, water and salt. Soy sauce in Japan is prepared in two types: red, more familiar in our country, and white, used when it is necessary to preserve the color scheme of the dish.
No less popular wasabi, which is prepared from the root of the plant of the same name. It has a burning taste and is often used as an ingredient for other types of sauces.
Another popular sauce in Japanese cuisine is teriyaki. It is prepared on the basis of a sweet sauce and is used for roasting meat or fish. The original chicken wings or salmon, covered with fragrant caramel crust.
Japanese cuisine salads are a great addition to the main dishes. They are prepared mainly from vegetables grown in the country: daikon, Japanese udo celery, wasabi already mentioned, ginger root. Tomatoes and cucumbers, more familiar to Europeans, are also used, but they appeared in the country later and are not considered traditional.
Red and white soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sometimes sake are used as dressings in Japanese cuisine.
The cuisine of Japan is bright, diverse, allowing you to make your home menu interesting. Arrange an evening in Japanese style, invite your friends and treat them with original national dishes in their own performance. Here you will find rare, unusual recipes that will surprise the guests, but their main highlight will be the author's preparation and a special national table setting, which turns an ordinary meal into a ceremony.
