Video Introduction of Ryugin Japanese Cuisine in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo This video, titled "Japanese Cuisine—RyuGin Matsuba Crab Conference Report" (日本料理 龍吟 松葉蟹学会発表), was uploaded by "TOKYOGASTRONOMY." It introduces food presented by RyuGin at the "2016 World Cuisine Academic Meeting in Hakodate" (世界料理学会 in HAKODATE 2016) in September 2016. RyuGin is a Japanese restaurant situated in Hibiya, Tokyo. The restaurant offers a range of Japanese cuisine prepared with carefully selected ingredients, not least among which is Matsuba crab. At around 52 minutes, the video is on the long side, but there are dazzling skills on display, and a number of dishes using Matsuba crab. First, watch the video, and enjoy an introduction to the flavors of winter in Japan and the charms of Matsuba crab. What is Matsuba Crab? Photo:Matsuba crab Matsuba crab refers to male snow crabs caught in the San'in region of Tottori, Japan. Female snow crabs are referred to as "Seko crab" or "Koppe" in Japan. Snow crabs caught in Kyoto prefecture are known as Tsuiyama or Taiza crab, and crabs caught in Fukui prefecture are referred to as Echizen crab. As you may have noticed, the crabs are referred to by different names depending on where they were caught and whether they're male or female. Snow crabs generally belong to the Xanthidae family of crabs, but in some regions snow crabs belonging to the Oregoniidae family in certain regions are also referred to a Matsuba crab. A snow crab can be identified by its ten clawed feet, its long, slender legs, and its shell, which is small compared to its body as a whole. The crabs can be caught in the Sea of Japan's western area, as well as the area from Toyama prefecture north. They're also found in parts of the Pacific Ocean, such as the Sea of Ohkotsk and off the coast of the Sanriku region of Japan. Tasty Crab Soup From the Shell of a Matsuba Crab The video also shows delicious crab soup. Charcoal-grilled crab legs are added to stock produced by boiling the discarded shell of a Matsuba crab. You can almost smell the crab's fragrance coming from your screen. [Video] 6:13 - Crab Soup Shitamachi Katsushika Edo Dome – Seko Crab Beautifully Arranged in a Dish Made From Its Shell Source :YouTube screenshot Next up is a dish called "Shitamachi Katsushika Edo Dome" (下町葛飾江戸ドーム). This dish brings out the deep flavor of the Matsuba crab's female counterpart, the seko crab. The way RyuGin arranges this crab, with special tin tableware is nothing short of art. The dish is then carried to customers on a dome and platter made using traditional Japanese crafts, such as Wajima-nuri (a type of lacquerware from Wajima, Ishikawa) and Edo Kiriko (a type of cut glass from Asakusa, Tokyo). [Video] 9:20 - Shitamachi Katsushika Edo Dome Itsukiboshi, a Super-Sized Matsuba Crab Next up is "Itsukiboshi" (五輝星). Among Matsuba crabs, these are some of the biggest. Their size is enough to be easily noticeable even via the medium of video. Arranged in its bowl, the crab sashimi is, in a word, beautiful. Served with crab miso ponzu (ponzu is a sauce made from vinegar and bitter orange), it's simply delicious. [Video] 15:13 - Itsukiboshi Enjoy Matsuba Crab Pincers to the Full with "Banshu-yaki" Source :YouTube screenshot This fried crab dish using only the pincers is known as "Banshu-yaki" (播州焼) at RyuGin. This aromatic fried crab has tones of yuzu (a citrus fruit grown in Japan), and is served with crab miso. "Banshu" (播州) is an old name for what is now Hyogo prefecture. Hyogo is known as the number one supplier of Japanese crab, and crab pincers are familiar to many as a Banshu specialty. [Video] 18:50 - Banshu-yaki, Using Only Crab Pincers The RyuGin Burger, a Decadent Hamburger Using Matsuba Crab Next is a slightly eccentric dish, called the "RyuGin Burger." Matsutake mushrooms take the place of the bread, and Matsuba crab is used for the patty. Have you ever heard of such a decadent burger? What makes this burger so special is the "an" (a thick starchy sauce) made using Matsuba crab stock, which really brings out the Matsuba crab's flavor. [Video] 22:03 - RyuGin Burger Matsu x Matsu Shabu – Emphasizing the Crab's Umami Flavors Moving on is a dish called "Matsu x Matsu Shabu." This shabu-shabu (a Japanese hotpot dish with thinly sliced meat and vegetables) dish makes use of stock from Matsuba crab and Matsutake mushrooms. The dish is full of special artisan touches, such as the use of a Matsuba crab's shell in place of the pot, and more. Once you start to pick up the scent of cooking Matsutake mushrooms, it's time to put the Matsuba crab into the pot. [Video] 26:13 - Japanese Crab Shabu-Shabu Wakamatsuba, the Irresistible Sweetness of Young Matsuba Crab Source :YouTube screenshot "Wakamatsuba" (若松葉) is the name for younger Matsuba-crabs, and when translated to English literally means "young Matsuba." These younger crabs have soft, edible shells. You can see the Wakamatsuba crab meat arranged gorgeously on its shell in the video. Shirasu – Stunning Deep Fried Wakamatsuba Crab Tempura "Shirasu" (白砂) refers to Wakamatsuba crab tempura (a type of deep frying technique using batter). Every single detail—not just the batter that envelops the Wakamatsuba crab, but the method and timing of the boiling and deep frying stages, and type of oil used—has been honed to a fine-art. [Video] 33:45 - Matsuba Crab Tempura The Matsuba crab and Matsutake mushroom tempura rice bowl is not to be missed, either! Anrakuyaki – Bringing Out the Irresistibly Rich Flavor of Crab Miso and Cheese Anrakuyaki (安楽焼) is a dish that combines the rich flavors of crab miso and caciocavallo cheese. The melted cheese is sure to get your tastebuds tingling. The flavor is improved even further with "uchiko" and "sotoko," the Seko crab's eggs. [Video] 38:43 - Japanese Crab and Cheese "Anrakuyaki" Matsuba Seiko – A Combination of the Crab's Umami Flavors and Matsutake Mushrooms Source :YouTube screenshot "Matsuba Seiko" (松葉聖子) is a rice dish with Seko crab and Matsutake mushrooms. You can enjoy every part of the Seko crab with this dish, along with the Matsutake mushrooms, which are cut into bite-size pieces. [Video] 44:53 - A Final Dish with Japanese Crab and Matsutake Mushrooms You can watch the Matsuba Seiko being prepared with all the ingredients in a single pot in the video. Notice the use of truffles to round the dish off. Summary of Japanese Restaurant RyuGin – A Wide Range of Luxurious Matsuba Crab Dishes Matsuba crab can be eaten in a variety of ways, including as sashimi, sukiyaki, char-grilled, and roasted in its shell. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Matsuba crab is essential to any conversation about Japanese cuisine. Next time you visit Japan, be it for sightseeing or other reasons, why not try a dish made with Matsuba crab? If you plan to eat at "RyuGin," we recommend you book in advance. The Matsuba crab with Japanese-grown Matsutake costs around ¥100,000, (before tax), but prices can vary according to the market. These truly sumptuous dishes are a veritable art-form. If you've got a big budget, we recommend giving it a try. 【Official Website】Japanese Restaurant RyuGin 【TripAdvisor】Japanese Restaurant RyuGin -

日本食の基礎となる出汁を紹介 こちらの動画は「ANA Global Channel」が公開した「KATSUOBUSHI - IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU - 和食 (鰹節)」です。 うま味を引き出す食材として定番なのが鰹節。 ランチにおかかのおにぎりや冷奴、京都のおばんざいなどの郷土料理、そしてお節料理といった伝統料理まで、鰹節が欠かせない日本食はたくさんあります。 鰹節自体を見る機会は少なくなったとはいえ、和食専門店や贈り物用ではまだまだ重宝されています。 動画では出汁専門店「伏高」店主・へのインタビューが紹介されています。 伏高は築地にある創業100年を超える出汁専門店です。 鰹節だけではなく昆布や煮干しなど海の出汁を取り扱い、高級料理店からラーメン店まで幅広いお店に食材を提供しています。 今回は鰹節の秘密について紹介します。 鰹節は栄養満点!健康にもよい食材 鰹節で取った出汁は塩分を少なくしても十分に美味しさが感じられるため、積極的にレシピに取り入れたい材料です。 また、和食に限らず、乳幼児の離乳食にも使えます。 離乳食は基本的に薄味を付けますが、出汁を入れることでうま味が加わり、調味料を入れなくても十分美味しくなるのが利点。 作り方も簡単。 わが子のご飯に活用して、日本食に対する豊かな味覚を育んであげたいですね。 鰹節の種類 動画では2:50から、市販と節状の違いが説明されています。 スーパーでよく見る削られた鰹節は削り節と呼んでいます。 また、製造過程において、カビを表面につけて乾燥させる工程があります。 和食の世界では、この工程を通ったものを本節と呼んでいます。 本節の賞味期限は、メーカーが推奨する状態できちんと保存すれば数年は持つとされています。 日本の鰹節生産地 日本には静岡県と鹿児島県に、鰹節の生産で有名な地域があります。 静岡県焼津市は、「焼津節」として江戸時代から続く鰹節の名産地です。 1801年に土佐与市という人物が焼津に伝えた土佐節の製法がもとになっています。 また、伊豆では田子節が有名です。 続いて、薩摩半島の南端に位置し、生産量日本一を誇る鹿児島県枕崎市です。 枕崎の鰹節の歴史は古く、古事記にも「堅魚」との記載があるほど。 現在の製法は1707年に紀州から伝わった燻製法がもとになっています。 そして鹿児島県枕崎市と並んで有名なのが鹿児島県指宿市山川町です。 ここでは山川節が有名で、明治42年に伊予の業者が山川の山小屋を借りて土佐節を作ったのが始まりとされています。 鰹節のEU輸出に向けて奮闘する日本 英語で鰹節を意味する“Bonito Flakes”という言葉があるように、日本食、ひいては鰹節への注目度は世界でますます大きくなっています。 和食や日本食に限らず、フランス料理では調味料として鰹節が使われることも増えてきました。海外への輸出が今後増えてくるのではないでしょうか。 和食の出汁の王様!鰹節紹介まとめ 動画では1:30から出汁の取り方についてコツが解説されています。 コツは、けちけちしないでたっぷりと使うことです。 いい食材であればあるほど、たくさん入れても変に味がくどくなることはありません。 削り節は軽いので、いっぱい入れたつもりでも、実はあまり入っていなかったということがよくあります。 自分で思っている分の2倍は入れるようにすると美味しい出汁が取れますよ。 動画では昆布だしについても詳しい解説があります。和食に欠かせない出汁の奥深さをぜひご自分でもお確かめください! -

日本食になくてはならないうなぎ料理 こちらの動画は「Eater」が公開した「Chef Kanejiro Kanemoto Is Japan's Grilled Eel Master — Omakase」です。 日本食を代表する料理の一つが「うなぎ料理」ですね。 今回は東麻布にある200年の歴史を持った老舗うなぎ屋「野田岩」の板前さんたちが職人技をふるううなぎ料理について紹介していきます。 うなぎが土曜の丑の日に食べられるようになったのは江戸時代の蘭学者平賀源内の発想が起源と言われていますが、実は万葉集にはすでに大伴家持が石麻呂という人に「夏痩せにはうなぎを食するのがいい」と薦めている一句があります。 そう考えると7世紀ころの日本にはすでに夏になるとうなぎを食べるという風習が始まっていたのですね。 日本グルメの歴史は長くて深いのです。 東麻布野田岩の歴史とうなぎ職人の実演披露 うなぎ料理の代表といえばなんといっても「蒲焼」ですね。 蒲焼の作り方はいたってシンプル。 開いたうなぎを串に刺しタレを塗りながら熱した備長炭で焼いけば店内は香ばしい香りでいっぱい! しかし捌くのに3年、串打ち3年焼きは一生と言われるほど高度な職人技術が要求される料理で、さばいた後の内臓も残すところなくいただけます。 うなぎの肝吸いは蒲焼とならんだ定番料理の一つといえるでしょう。 動画では板前さんたちがその作り方を惜しげもなく披露してくれます。 名人の包丁捌きは見逃せません。 うなぎのさばき方と焼き方 うなぎの調理法には関東風と関西風という違いがあるのをご存知ですか? 関東風のうなぎの蒲焼の作り方は「背開き」といって、まな板にうなぎの頭を目打ちという道具で刺して固定し、背中から開いていきます。 焼く前に蒸して肉を柔らかくするのも関東風の特徴です。 また関東では、「う巻き」や白焼きなど料理の種類もバラエティに富んでいます。 一方の関西風は「腹開き」といって生きたままお腹から包丁を入れて開いていきます。 焼く前に蒸さずそのまま備長炭で焼いていくという違いもあります。 生臭さを取るために開いたら素焼きにしてすぐタレにくぐらせるので、関東のような白焼きという文化はありません。 ほかにも人気のうなぎ料理には名古屋周辺が発祥の「ひつまぶし」があります。 日本の伝統グルメうなぎ料理紹介まとめ いまや世界中で愛されている日本の食文化の殿堂が「うなぎ料理」ですが、蒲焼のほかにもうな重、うな丼、う巻き、茶碗蒸し、酢の物、肝吸い、ひつまぶし、白焼きとうなぎだけでコース料理が楽しめます。 こちらの動画をご覧になると野田岩の麻布飯倉本店にいってうなぎ料理コースを食べたくなりせんか? 今度の休みはうなぎの白焼きを肴に日本酒を一献!と洒落込んでは如何でしょう? -

人形町今半のすき焼き、醍醐味は生卵と仲居のおもてなし精神 こちらの動画は「ANA Global Channel」が公開した「SUKIYAKI - IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU - 和食 (すき焼き)」です。 明治時代に登場した牛鍋。 そこから発展して生まれたのがこの動画で紹介されている「すき焼き」です。 関西と関東で調理の仕方が違う、また各家庭でそれぞれの味付けがあるなど多少の違いはあるにしろ、日本人にとって「すき焼き」はハレの日に食べる特別料理、つまりごちそうのひとつとして多くの方に親しまれています。 この動画で紹介されている人形町今半では、日本の最高峰のすき焼きを提供しています。 今半のすき焼きは肉の品質だけでなく、具材や具材の切り方、調理の方法にまでこだわり抜いた絶品の和食グルメです。 人形町今半のすき焼きの調理方法 動画でご覧になれるように、人形町今半のすき焼きは煮るのではなく「焼くように炊く」のが特徴です。 まずは割り下を薄く引いた鍋に牛肉を一度に食べる量だけ入れます。 その際、牛肉は広げて並べ、重ならないようにするのがポイント。 そうすることで味がぼやけることなく、ダイレクトに肉の旨味が口の中に広がります。 肉がピンク色から茶色に変わったらひっくり返す合図です。 その後の火の通し方でミディアムロゼからウェルダンまでお好みでどうぞ。 肉の焼き方でそれぞれ旨味が変わってくるので、自分好みのこだわりを探してみるのも一興です。 すき焼きには牛肉のほか、ネギは欠かせません。 しっかりと火を通したネギは甘くて舌触り、歯触りも抜群です。 そのほか焼き豆腐、春菊、白菜、さらに椎茸や白滝、お麩もすき焼きの定番の具材です。 人形町今半では、すき焼きの肉や具材は生卵にくぐらせて食べることを推奨しています。 とはいえ、生卵に抵抗感をもつ外国人は多いものです。 宗教や文化の違いがあるため無理強いはできませんが、甘辛く煮えた具材と生卵の食べ合わせはすき焼きの醍醐味とも言えるので、是非チャレンジしてみてほしいものです。 人形町今半のおもてなし 鍋物といえばだしの中で具材をグツグツと煮てそれぞれ箸を進めるものですが、人形町今半のすき焼きに限っては仲居の存在が欠かせません。 仲居は鍋奉行のプロとして、鍋の中すべてのことを管理するほか客の小皿に取り分けまでしてくれます。 プロが付きっ切りでお世話してくれるからこそ、お客さんは食べることに専念でき、さらにちょうど頃合いの肉や具材を口に入れることができるのです。 このことから人形町今半のすき焼きは一般的な鍋物ではなく、鉄板焼きと同じようなパフォーマンス料理とも言えるかもしれませんね。 人形町今半のすき焼き紹介まとめ 外国人の方の中には日本食の代表であるすき焼きを食べたいと思っても食べ方が分からない人も多いようです。 人形町今半のように仲居の存在があると心強いことでしょう。 120年以上もの長い歴史と伝統を受け継いできた人形町今半のすき焼きで、日本食の真髄とおもてなしの精神を同時に味わってみませんか。 -

Video introduction of Tsukiji, the central wholesale market in Chuo-ku, Tokyo This video, titled "The Tuna King Reigns at Tsukiji Fish Market — Omakase Japan," was uploaded by "Eater." The video is an interview with Yukitaka Yamaguchi, a middle man wholesaler specializing in tuna, an important ingredient in Japanese food. He has a shop in Tsukiji Market, a central wholesale market in Tokyo. You can see him dressing a tuna and the beautiful, glossy cut of the tuna in this video. Tsukiji Market was opened in Tokyo in 1935 and it is one of the oldest comprehensive markets in Japan and one of the largest in the world in terms of seafood volume making it an important base for supporting Japanese food. Unfortunately, due to deterioration, the market was moved to "Toyosu Market" in October 2018. Tsukiji Market will be closed in the future, but the restaurants outside the market where you can eat fresh Japanese food still remain. They are very popular, especially among the tourists. This video was taken when Tsukiji Market was still open. An Intermediate Wholesaler Specializing In Tuna at Tsukiji Market Photo:Tsukiji Outer Market Yukitaka Yamaguchi is an intermediate wholesaler specializing in tuna, mainly bluefin tuna. Middlemen like Yamaguchi purchase tuna by participating in tuna auctions, and then sell it to retailers and restaurants. He is a particularly picky about the tenderness of the tuna used for sushi. He is a professional connoisseur who takes responsibility for his tuna and aims to be the best tuna seller in Tsukiji. He's introduced at 0:12 in the video. Tuna, A Valuable Ingredient in Japanese Cuisine Photo:Tuna In the past, red meat, called "zuke" in Japanese, was eaten and toro, a luxury food item today, was thrown out. It was not until sushi became available for the common people that sashimi toro came to be favored. Yukitaka Yamaguchi explains this from 0:44 in the video. His store sells five types of tuna: bluefin tuna, bigeyed tuna, yellowfin tuna, broadbill swordfish, and striped marlin. Yamaguchi purchases huge amounts of tuna to distribute to around 1,000 restaurants, mainly restaurants specializing in Japanese cuisine. He selects each tuna according to the cuisine it will be used for. Many restaurants rely on him as a tuna middleman to keep their business running smoothly. Summary of Tsukiji Market's Tuna King Photo:Tuna Yamaguchi says that the most exciting part of tuna is when he cuts in, because he cannot tell if it is a good tuna until he dress it. He gets really excited when he buys expensive tuna. Yamaguchi feels that tuna caught in fixed nets around Sado Island (佐渡島, Sado Shima) in the Sea of Japan in April and May, when the fat content is well-balanced, tastes the best, but he says that of the tens of thousands of tuna he handles, only about 100 per year are truly good, and they are rare. Because Yukitaka Yamaguchi loves tuna, he has been studying tuna and supporting the Japanese food culture of eating it! 【Tripadvisor】Toyosu Market https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g14134359-d15216764-Reviews-Toyosu_Market-Toyosu_Koto_Tokyo_Tokyo_Prefecture_Kanto.html -

About the Demonstrational "Dragon Beard's Candy" Video This video features footage of a professional making traditional dragon beard's candy by hand at a food stall in the Shin-Okubo area of Shinjuku, Tokyo (東京都新宿の新大久保). The delicate sweets, which are known for being difficult to make, are a traditional sweet in Korea which are also known by the name Kkul-tarae (クルタレ) or Ronshutan (ロンシュータン). In this video, you can see the techniques used to make dragon's beard candy and learn more about the history and characteristics of this traditional sweet. We hope you enjoy the video! What Is Dragon's Beard Candy? Source :YouTube screenshot Dragon's beard candy is a traditional sweet which has been eaten in countries such as China, Korea and Taiwan for hundreds of years. Its popularity has spread to other foreign countries, such as the US, Taiwan, Singapore, Canada and Hong Kong. Dragon beard's candy originated in China over 2,000 years ago, when the delicate treat was originally prepared for the emperor; however, it eventually came to be eaten by ordinary citizens and has been loved to this day. The main ingredient used to make dragon beard's candy is maltose syrup, known as "mugi mizuame" in Japanese. Cornstarch is also an essential ingredient. It's made by stretching a hard piece of candy over and over again to create a candy with a light and crunchy texture. The mildly sweet Dragon's beard candy is often given as a gift (lucky charm) in Seoul, Korea. Watch the Amazing Skills of This Professional Dragon Beard's Candy Maker in Shin-Okubo! Source :YouTube screenshot Each piece of dragon's beard candy is carefully handmade by craftsmen. As can be seen in the video, the street vendor first prepares the maltose syrup candy. He creates a hole in the hard candy and proceeds to stretch the candy using this hole. You can take a look at the stretching process throughout the video. The vendor then stretches the candy over and over while continually covering it in cornstarch until the threads of the candy reach the thickness of what is thought to resemble a dragon's beard. Only highly skilled professionals can make the candy incredibly thin without it breaking or snapping. A single piece of candy is stretched into an amazing 16,384 strands. From 4:26 in the video, the street vendor explains that this is the perfect number of strands to create the most pleasant melt-in-your-mouth texture. At 2:20 in the video, he begins to fold the candy to create the 16,384 strands, which he completes in roughly 35-40 seconds. The highlight of the video has to be when the professional dragon's beard maker shows off the finished product to the customers, at which point it looks beautifully smooth like threads of silk. Many customers are amazed by the look of the finished product! You can take a look at this in the video at 4:18. If you get a chance to see it up close, be sure to take a video of your own and share it with your friends! Source :YouTube screenshot After stretching out the candy, crushed peanuts, almonds, sesame seeds, or coconut can be added as a filling. One piece of candy costs approximately a few hundred yen (a couple bucks (USD)). There are very few people who know how to make the candy as the skills required are so difficult to master. Summary of Dragon Beard Candy There are food stalls in Shin-Okubo and Yokohama's Chinatown (横浜中華街, yokohamachuukagai) where you can watch dragon beard's candy being made right before your eyes. You can also buy dragon beard's candy online, sometimes sold under the name "Dragon Candy." For those interested in tasting and experiencing the delicate texture of dragon beard's candy, we highly recommended purchasing some and trying them out for yourself! Watching how the amazing dragon beard candy is made is guaranteed to pique your curiosity! Be sure to check it out in the video! -

The area around Kaminari-mon Gate, in particular, is full of famous dojo-hot-pot restaurants and hot-pot pubs surrounding a sunken hearth with a downtown feel that is still very much alive today. This video introduces Tatsumi-Ya, a traditional restaurant in old town Asakusa that serves dojo loach hot pot, as well as the cooking process for this traditional Japanese cuisine. As a famous dojo-hot-pot restaurant, Tatsumi-Ya has been loved by intellectuals and sightseers for years. Just looking at the crunchy dojo loach karaage and dojo loach hot pot is enough to get your mouth watering. Watch this video to learn all you need to know about the delicious dojo loach hot pot! The Origin and History of Dojo Loach Hot Pot Source :This article Video When did people start eating dojo loach hot pot? Dojo loach, an exceptionally resilient river fish, was an important source of protein for local residents, referred to as "Edokko" (江戸っ子), in the town of Edo (Current day Tokyo) thanks to its well-developed waterways. There were many pilgrims around Sensoji Temple (浅草寺 Sensoji), the oldest temple in Tokyo, and the local people in Asakusa welcomed them with dojo loach dishes, using the dojo loach from the Sumida River (隅田川, Sumidagawa), formerly the Arakawa River (荒川, Arakawa). This is said to be the origin of dojo loach hot pot. In 1806, dojo loach hot pot started to be written "どぜう" (typically pronounced dozeu) instead of its original name "どじょう" (Both are pronounced "dojo"). The origin of this change is said to be Echigoya Sukeshichi (越後谷助七), the founder of Komagata Dojo (駒形どぜう), one of the most popular restaurants in Asakusa. When his restaurant burned down in the Great Fire of Edo, he thought a store name using four characters would bring ill fortune. Because of this, instead of four characters, he spelled his store name with three characters. The number "4" is pronounced "shi" in Japanese, and traditionally it is also connected with the word “death” (死) in Japanese, which is pronounced the same. The Menu and Recipe of Tatsumi-Ya Source :This article Video Dojo loach hot pot has three main cooking styles. Given the fact that it goes by 3 different names- dojo loach nabe, Edo-Nabe (江戸鍋), and Edomae-Nabe (江戸前鍋), we can tell that it was a very famous dish in the city of Edo. The first cooking style is called "Maru-Nabe" (丸鍋). This involves putting live dojo loach into a container of Japanese sake and covering it with a lid. When the dojo loach stop kicking, they are placed on a round iron plate with lots of green onions and eaten with seasonings, such as Japanese pepper and Shichimi-Togarashi (七味唐辛子), a chili pepper spice. In this video, you can watch the live dojo loach getting quieter and quieter in a container of Japanese sake around 1:53. Be sure to check it out! The second style of recipe is called "Nuki-Nabe"(ぬき鍋); a hot pot dish similar to sukiyaki. This method involves cutting the dojo loach open along the back, and cooking it with burdock roots. The third and most popular style of dojo loach hot-pot is called "Yanagawa-Nabe" (柳川鍋). This involves dropping eggs in Nuki-Nabe and stewing everything together. What these styles have in common is not just dojo loach; all of these methods involve stewing dojo loach with tofu and green onions. In the introductory video of Tatsumi-Ya’s dojo loach dishes, the chef shows how to cook dojo loach hot pot. You can see this at 14:52. You can also see people eating the cooked dojo loach hot pot with lots of chopped onions over fluffy eggs. It looks like it pairs nicely with white rice as well. In addition to the hot pot dishes, another famous dish is dojo loach karaage. This involves putting flour on live dojo loach and then deep-frying them. This can be seen at the beginning of the video. Tatsumi-Ya’s Dojo Loach Hot Pot: The Stamina-Boosting Dish to Beat the Heat! Dojo loach dishes in Asakusa are a common theme in the summer, but you're probably wondering why people would want to eat hot dojo loach dishes in the warmest season of the year. First, dojo loach is a stream fish, so it has a unique smell. To get rid of the smell, chefs often cook dojo loach with burdock roots. Since burdock roots are very hard, they must be stewed in a nabe pot to make them softer and easier to eat. Another reason for this comes from a traditional Japanese trick for staying cool in summer. After working up a sweat, the cool evening breeze allows us to cool our bodies. Around 18:09 in the video, you can see a piping hot dojo loach hot pot dish. Look at all the mouth watering goodness! Summary of Dojo Loach Hot Pot in Old Town Asakusa Source :This article Video Dojo loach dishes have been very popular among local people since the Edo period. This video shows how to cook dojo loach dishes by the chefs of Tatsumi-Ya in old-town Asakusa, Tokyo.
