About the Ika Somen Recipe Video Many people are probably used to preparing sashimi from already prepared sections of fish, but it's rare that people fillet fish and make sashimi from scratch at home. Preparing Japanese food may also seem like an incredibly time consuming task if you aren't Japanese yourself. In this video, the chef demonstrates how to fillet and prepare spear squid, called yariika in Japanese (ヤリイカ), to make the dish Ika Somen. The tips and techniques shown in this video are a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese cuisine! Preparing the Squid to Make Ika Somen Photo：Squid sashimi Preparation is the key to making delicious Japanese food. The majority of people who eat sashimi at home tend to buy it already prepared from the supermarket as the process of making it (filleting squid in particular) is rather complicated. This video will show you how to fillet and prepare squid, a useful skill which can be applied to a variety of Japanese dishes. Please feel free to refer to this article whenever you need a reminder of how to prepare squid! First, the squid's innards must be removed. Place your hand inside the body of the squid and simply pull out the innards. Pinching the fins at the top of the squids body while removing the innards will make this step easier. Next, the cartilage must be removed from inside of the body of the squid. Tips to Make Your Ika Somen Taste Delicious Source :YouTube screenshot It's important to properly remove all of the skin from the squid. Holding the fins, peel off the skin of the squid from top to bottom. With the skin intact, the squid appears red, but removing the skin will reveal the white, smooth flesh underneath. After removing the skin, insert your knife into the area where the cartilage used to be and cut the squid vertically to open it up. If, after opening up the squid, you find some remaining innards, use the knife to remove them and quickly clean the flesh. Next, you must cut into the flesh near the top of the squid to help you remove the thin membrane that is attached to the inside of the body. Doing this will ensure the flesh is smooth and improve the texture of the squid. Prepare the fins of the squid in the same way. Finally, give the squid a quick rinse with cold water and use a dish cloth to remove any excess moisture. You can use the dish cloth to lightly scrub the skin in order to remove any remaining membrane or innards. This is another key tip to ensure your squid tastes delicious. Your Ika Somen is almost ready! Time to Turn the Squid Into Ika Somen Source :YouTube screenshot All that's left to do now is to line up the edges of the squid and cut the flesh into thin strips. This is the highlight of the video! To make the Ika Somen, first the outer flesh must be removed, as only the inner flesh will be used to make Ika Somen. To do this, the chef inserts the knife at one end of the flesh and carefully slices off the thin outer layer. You can see how this is done at 9:50 in the video. As you can see, this requires a lot of skill and experience to do well. Next, take the prepared squid flesh and cut it vertically into thin strips. Cutting the flesh with the knife in a pulling motion, as you would with meat or fish, is one of the fundamentals of Japanese cooking. Squid Sashimi Goes Great With Alcohol! The prepared squid sashimi, or Ika Somen, is usually served roughly mixed in a Japanese style dish. The squid is then topped with grated ginger and lightly dressed with soy sauce. It's best to mix the squid with the toppings before eating. At 13:00 in the video, you can see the squid being served alongside Japanese sake (called "nihonshu" in Japanese). If you enjoy drinking, you'll really appreciate this delicious dish that goes down smooth with a drink. In this video, the Japanese chef demonstrates how to prepare Ika Somen using fresh squid. We hope you enjoyed learning some of the tips and tricks required to prepare this dish. After watching the video, are you feeling up to making your own Ika Somen?

The Mouthwatering Coconut Crab of Yatai Mura on Kokusaidori This video, titled "Japanese Street Food - GIANT COCONUT CRAB Seafood Okinawa Japan," was uploaded by "Travel Thirsty." It introduces the coconut crab sold at food trucks in Okinawa. Coconut crabs are huge crustaceans that live in Okinawa Prefecture. They have a history of being eaten as a delicacy in parts of Okinawa since ancient times. At Yatai Mura, a popular destination on Kokusaidori in Naha, Okinawa, you can eat gigantic coconut crab dishes. Sometimes called "Okinawa's strange specialty," coconut crab is surprisingly delicious thanks to its plump texture and the delicious broth that can be made from it. How is Okinawa's Coconut Crab Prepared? Photo：Coconut crab cuisine Coconut crab dishes can be eaten at Okinawan food stalls for a few thousand yen. Coconut crab dishes are made in much the same way as normal crab dishes; however, the shells of coconut crab are hard, making them difficult to prepare sometimes. At food stalls, coconut crabs are usually steamed whole, then removed from the shell and eaten with seasonings, such as sauce or soup stock. This can be seen at 8:09 in the video. What Kind of Creatures are Okinawa's Coconut Crab? Photo：Coconut crab Coconut crabs look like crabs, but they're actually a type of hermit crab. In Japanese, they're called "yashi-gani" (椰子蟹 in kanji or the more common ヤシガニ in katakana). Coconut crabs inhabit Miyako Island, Ishigaki Island, and Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture, and the largest crabs can grow more than 40 cm in length and weigh more than 4 kg! The coconut crab is said to be the strongest crustacean, and the clamping force of its giant pincers is about 90 times its weight, which is about as strong as a lion's bite! Fisherman must be very careful when catching coconut crabs, as not to get injured. Points of Caution When Eating Coconut Crab at a Food Stall Photo：Coconut crab cuisine Because coconut crabs are omnivores and eat dead or rotten fish carcasses, they can accumulate pathogens in their bodies. Coconut crabs that have accumulated these pathogens can cause food poisoning if eaten, even after cooking them, so be careful. Coconut crab is a valuable food item that is rarely eaten nowadays, partly because it is listed as an endangered species. Summary of the Coconut Crab at Okinawa's Food Stalls Photo：Coconut crab cuisine The Okinawan culture of eating giant coconut crabs dates all the way back to ancient Japan. Seen at 4:40 in the video are some of the unique gourmet specialties at Okinawan food stalls, including dishes like chanpuru, rafute, mimigaa (pig's ear) and umibudo (sea grapes).

Introducing Eelpouts - An Interesting Delicacy in Kanazawa, Ishikawa "Eelpouts: The rare fish loved in Kanazawa| nippon.com," is a 4K video uploaded by "nippon.com." Have you heard of eelpouts before? There probably aren't many people who've heard of this strange fish, but it's actually a specialty of Kanazawa that's attracting attention as an ingredient for beauty supplements. This video will show you how to prepare some delicious eelpouts! The Unsightly Eelpout - A Look at the Strange Fish Photo：Eelpouts Eelpout is written "幻魚" (roughly "Illusion Fish") in Japanese Kanji. This deep-sea fish is a type of sea-bass (belonging to a genus of Zoarcidae) and there are more than 230 types of eelpouts around the world. The reason why it's called "illusion fish" in Japan is likely because of its wiggly, slimy and grotesque body, and it was never eaten or studied. It has been found that it prefers the cold water of the northern hemisphere and usually lies on the seafloor, eating shells, sea urchins, and starfish that are in the sand. It swims very slow and its proper name is "ノロゲンゲ" (norogenge) in Japanese. The best time to catch it in the Hokuriku region is from September to May. How to Prepare Eelpouts Source :YouTube screenshot The most distinctive feature of the eelpout is its long, thin body, slimy surface, and soft texture. This is because it's rich in fine gelatin and collagen. It has quit a plain taste, so it can be used in any kind of cooking, and it is very popular in Kanazawa and Toyama.

独自の日本食グルメ「お弁当」紹介動画 こちらの動画は「cook kafemaru」が公開した「Japanese Bento Lunch Box 秋だもん。色とりどり～うちのお弁当♪」です。 日本食文化のひとつともいえる「お弁当」 日本人は自分用に、あるいは家族のために職場や学校にお弁当を作って持っていくのが当たり前の光景となっています。 それもそのはず、お弁当の歴史は古く、「お弁当」という言葉自体は安土桃山時代には生まれています。 実はこのお弁当、海外では「Bento」と翻訳され、辞書にも載っているほど認知された日本食の文化なのです。 というのも、海外のランチはパンにハムやチーズを挟んだお手軽サンドが一般的。 そのため、日本食の基本である焼く・煮る・炒める・揚げる・蒸すという5つの方法で新鮮な食材を調理したお弁当は珍しいのです。 さらに、お弁当箱は海外では「Bento Box」と呼ばれ、お土産として人気の雑貨となっています。 海外ではサンドイッチをプラスチックなどのボックスにつめて職場や学校にもって行きますが、凝ったデザインはそうそうないのです。 そのため、日本のお弁当箱の色とりどりのデザインや豊富な形は珍しいようですね。 なかには、ご飯やおかずを入れる本体に加えて、スープを入れて保温できるタイプのお弁当箱もあります。 外食産業も発達している日本において、これほどお弁当が定着し、発展しているのも珍しいのではないでしょうか。 なかには低価格・早い仕出しをうたうお弁当専門店もあります。 お弁当はもはや日本の代表的なグルメのひとつと言っても過言ではないのです。 詰め方にも工夫がいるお弁当 おかずの詰め方にも工夫がいります。 ご飯とおかずを隙間無く詰めないと通勤・通学しているときに傾いて中身が潰れますし、汁気が多いとお弁当箱から染み出て鞄の中身が濡れてしまうからです。 こうして海外と比較してみると、日本のお弁当はおかずの詰め方にも結構気をつかうのですね。 製法にも時短の工夫を 海外では食事を作るにも効率を重視するためか、材料も簡単な調理で済ませることも多いですが、日本では朝早く起きてキッチンで仕込みをする方も少なくありません。 特にお弁当持参の学校に行く子供さんがいる家庭では、お母さんは毎朝大忙しです。 とはいえ、毎朝最初からおかずを作るのも大変なので、さまざまな時短製法が編み出されることも。 おかずを作り置きしたり、冷凍食品でチンしたり、いろんなアイデアがあります。 最近ではおかず用の冷凍食品もラインナップが増えてきました。 また、メニューをどうするかも悩みの種です。そんなときはブログサイトのレシピやクックパッドを参考におかずを作ります。 お弁当の人気断トツのメニューはから揚げ お弁当グルメといえば、から揚げや玉子焼き、しょうが焼きが人気です。 一方で、凝った人のなかには、キャラ弁を作る方もいます。 作ったキャラ弁は毎朝写真にとってレシピと一緒にブログに載せる人も。 また、お弁当は家で作るだけではありません。 お弁当屋さんで買うこともありますし、ごはん持参のうえお惣菜屋さんで野菜やおかずを袋に詰めてもらうこともできます。 色々なメニューを楽しむことができるのでお惣菜グルメを楽しむのもいいですね。 日本のグルメ「お弁当」紹介まとめ 皆さん様々な工夫をしてお昼のグルメタイムを楽しんでいます。 もはや日本料理の職人技ともいっていいのではないでしょうか。 動画では、美味しそうなおかずの作り方が紹介されています。 おかずがひとつ、またひとつとできあがる様子は見ていて飽きませんよ。 たまにはお弁当グルメで日本食に舌鼓を打ちましょう！
