Bonito Tataki – A Popular Dish in Japan Photo:Straw roasted bonito tataki Bonito (or skipjack tuna) is a delicious fish that is low in calories and rich in nutrients. It has been a favorite menu item in Japan since ancient times. It's said that the reason why bonito tataki is called "tataki" comes from the sound of the chef tapping the cutting board as he cuts the bonito with his knife (tataku 叩く means "to tap" in Japanese). You can see freshly caught bonito at the beginning of the video, so be sure to check it out. Preparing the Finest Bonito Tataki Source :YouTube screenshot First, at 3:01, you can see the fresh bonito being processed. The traditional way to make roasted bonito tataki is to sear it with straw, as shown at 10:55 in the video. After the surface of the bonito is slowly baked with rice straw, the bonito is quickly cooled in ice water and cut into pieces, as shown at 14:18 in the video. It's also delicious when arranged with Japanese ginger, grated daikon, or thinly sliced onion. Season it with ponzu sauce, dipping sauce, or other seasonings, and you've got yourself a delicious gourmet Japanese dish. The finished bonito tataki can be viewed at 17:17 in the video. In Kochi, a place famous for its bonito, it's standard to eat bonito tataki with salt. Not only can you eat it as it is, but you can also nigiri it with sushi rice, which is shown from 18:12 in the video. Summary of Bonito Tataki Source :YouTube screenshot This video introduced the artisanal skills of a Japanese chef as he processes and prepares bonito with great skill. In Japan, there are many seafood dishes that use an abundance of fresh seafood, such as bonito tataki, grilled fish, and sashimi.

A Look at the Japanese Hot Pot Dish Shabu Shabu Omakase This video, titled "Chef Mako Okano Serves the World's Only Shabu-Shabu Omakase — Omakase," was released by "Eater." The video introduces Mako Okano, a female chef at a Japanese restaurant in New York that offers "Shabu-shabu," a Japanese style hot pot dish, in an "Omakase" format. Introduced in the video is the Japanese restaurant "Macoron," a new style "Shabu-shabu" restaurant in New York where Mako Okano cooks dishes using traditional Japanese ingredients while guests enjoy the show from their counter seats. Shabu-shabu - Original Japanese Cuisine Photo:Shabu-shabu "Shabu-shabu" is a Japanese dish in which thinly sliced meat is dipped in a pot containing soup stock to cook, and then dipped in ponzu or sesame sauce. In addition to meat, vegetables, tofu, and other ingredients are also boiled and then dipped in sauces creating a delicious assortment of flavors. It's said that the name comes from the onomatopoeia "shabu-shabu," which is the sound the meat makes while being pulled through the soup stock while held with chopsticks. "Shabu-shabu" is popular as a Japanese gourmet food, and it is a popular dish you can enjoy at Japanese restaurants as well as at home, with family and friends gathered around the pot. In Japanese shabu-shabu, there is no person designated to do the cooking, rather, each person "shabu-shabus" (dips the meat into the pot) and eats their desired portion. Mako Okano's Original "Shabu-shabu Omakase" Source :YouTube screenshot The dishes offered by Mako Okano start with appetizers, such as "Dashimaki Tamago" (a type of Japanese rolled omelet), abalone, yuba (tofu skin) and raw sea urchin, and tofu that is cooked via shabu-shabu. After that, the main Wagyu beef shabu-shabu is served with vegetables. This can be seen from 1:30 in the video. Mako Okano dips the thinly sliced meat of A5 or A4 ranked beef, which has the highest balance of lean and fat, several times in the boiling soup stock and serves it to customers after it's perfectly cooked. There are 4 types of sauces used in addition to the major Japanese ponzu and sesame sauces. The course is also original in that it's finished with soba noodles made by Mako Okano, who has worked at a soba restaurant herself. Soba is also one of the representative gourmet foods in Japan. Summary Shabu Shabu Macoron - A Popular Shabu-shabu Restaurant in New York Source :YouTube screenshot Mako Okano points out that the charm of her original Japanese shabu-shabu is that boiling the meat removes excess fat, so that the stomach doesn't feel heavy after eating it, and it also doesn't leave you feeling lethargic. Mako Okano also mentions that she wants to combine Japanese soba with shabu-shabu as it's good for one's health. By using Japanese ingredients and shabu-shabu recipes outside of Japan, she's able to share Japan's delicious cuisine with the world. -

Onigiri: The Ultimate Japanese Food, Loved by Many. A Look at the Surprisingly Unknown Appeal of This Snack, and How to Make Delicious Tuna Mayo Onigiri!
Food & Drink- 212 plays
- YouTube
Introducing the Secrets of Onigiri- The Ultimate Japanese Snack This is a video by "Japanese Food Music" that introduces Japan's tuna mayo Onigiri. Onigiri is a historical Japanese food that has been around since the Yayoi period (300 BC-250 AD). This item is loved by many people due to its simple preparation and delicious flavor. This article will talk about the secrets of onigiri’s popularity as a supreme Japanese food, as well as methods for making delicious tuna mayo onigiri as shown in the video. The Appeal of “Onigiri” as a Popular Japanese Meal Photo:Onigiri and bento Japan’s “washoku” (Japanese food) has been designated as an intangible cultural heritage. Within it, onigiri has gained popularity as a standard food product. Onigiri is also referred to as “nigiri-meshi” and “o-musubi.” As one might be able to tell by its Japanese name (握る- Nigiru, meaning to press into shape), this rice-ball food is made by holding rice and squeezing it into a triangular, cylindrical, or spherical shape. Onigiri, despite being easily made even by small children, has limitless variations in its recipes as well as a large variety of ingredients, seasonings and ways to squeeze, shape and wrap it. This is why people can eat and enjoy onigiri without ever getting bored. Onigiri is also a type of “soul food” whose ingredients and cooking methods differ in each region of Japan, so travelers in Japan might find it worthwhile to enjoy onigiri from each area of Japan that they visit. Examples of region-specific onigiri include “Tenmusu,” which is made with tempura shrimp from Aichi Prefecture, and “Pork tamago (egg) omusubi,” a type of onigiri from Okinawa which contains pork meat and fried eggs. Onigiri are sold at convenience stores, supermarkets, and set meal restaurants, and its easy access is a very pleasing point for onigiri lovers. In addition, onigiri can be easily eaten for breakfast and/or with bento box meals at lunchtime. Being a standard part of bento boxes and lunch menus, onigiri is something that virtually all Japanese people have eaten, and this is due to being familiar with this cuisine ever since childhood when onigiri was made and wrapped by their own mothers. Onigiri recipes & variations Photo:Onigiri Onigiri is a popular Japanese food that can be made solely with the most basic of cooking ingredients such as rice, onigiri fillings, salt and nori dried seaweed wrapping. The most popular type of onigiri, of course, is tuna and mayonnaise-flavored onigiri with tuna as its main ingredient. Tuna mayonnaise is well known for its use not only with onigiri but also with sandwiches and cooking bread. There are also standard onigiri riceballs such as those with bonito flakes and pickled plums, and there are even types of onigiri which involve the use of fresh seafood such as maguro tuna as well as onigiri made with fried foods. For those of you who are worried about calories, you can still enjoy your onigiri eating experience by choosing simple salted riceballs without onigiri fillings. Yet another appealing point of onigiri is how different onigiri fillings and methods of squeezing/wrapping can completely change the way we enjoy this food. Let’s Try Making Tuna Mayo Onigiri! Photo:Making Onigiri There are a variety of tricks and techniques that are necessary for preparing good tasting tuna mayo onigiri. This video presents detailed instructions on methods (recipes) for making onigiri. As shown at the beginning of this video, the number one feature of onigiri here is its preparation by cooking rice in a Japanese clay pot. Please note that this is an absolute must for making the most delicious onigiri possible! First, you put washed rice and water in the clay pot together with soy sauce, Japanese sake (rice wine), Mirin cooking wine and sesame oil. Then, after adding a proper amount of soup stock powder, we heat the pot to cook the rice. We then let the cooked rice steam for about 10 minutes, during which time we prepare the tuna mayonnaise. Canned tuna used for this part of the recipe is sold anywhere in Japan at places such as supermarkets and convenience stores. This point is explained starting at 3:49 in the video. After draining the oil out of the tuna can, mix in small amounts of mayonnaise, soup stock powder, and soy sauce. From there, tuck the tuna mayonnaise into some rice and squeeze it together gently. Although not shown in the video, you can also add salt here to further enhance the flavors of the onigiri fillings. Finally, wrap lightly roasted seaweed wrappings around the tuna mayonnaise riceball, at which point our onigiri is complete! While the nori seaweed described here is of course an important ingredient for giving the onigiri good taste, but it is also the wisdom of our ancestors for keeping the rice from crumbling in your hands and making it easier to deliver this tasty treat to your mouth! Please be sure to take a look at this video for a detailed look at this recipe. Summary of Onigiri, Japan’s Ultimate Food Item Has this article and video helped you to appreciate the appeal and popularity of Onigiri as a simple yet profound example of Japanese cuisine? This video comes with a presentation of preparation methods for some very tasty-looking Onigiri, so be careful when watching it on an empty stomach…(lol) -

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? -

Introducing Pufferfish Nukazuke This video, titled "Pufferfish “Nukazuke”: Delicacy from a Deadly Fish | Nippon.com: Japan in Video," was released by "Nippon.com: Japan in Video." Pufferfish contains a highly lethal dose of a poison called "tetrodotoxin" in its ovaries and liver. However, in Hakusan, Ishikawa and the Kanaishi District and Ono District of Kanazawa, there is a delicacy called "Fugu Nukazuke" (Pufferfish Nukazuke) which is eaten by fermenting the dangerous blowfish ovary for more than 2 years. It is only in this area of Ishikawa prefecture in Japan that the ovary of the pufferfish, which is prohibited by the Food Sanitation Law, is used as food. The ingredient used is Takifugu stictonotus ("Goma Fugu" in Japanese), which has particularly large ovaries and is good for eating. This can be seen from 0:09 in the video. The ovaries of Goma Fugu contain tetrodotoxin. But how do we get rid of this poison? The secret lies in the processing of the Pufferfish Nukazuke. Be sure to follow along with the video as you read this article! How the Delicacy, Pufferfish Nukazuke, Is Made Source :YouTube screenshot To pickle puffer fish, raw ovaries taken from the Goma Fugu are spread in a 1000 liter container and soaked in salt water with a concentration of 30%, for 1-1.5 years. The sodium contained in the salt has a dehydrating effect, and the water inside the ovaries becomes mostly depleted causing them to harden. From here, the ovaries are soaked in a fermented rice bran bed containing rice koji and chili peppers. At this time, they cover the ovaries with a wooden lid so that they do not come into contact with the air, and place a heavy stone on the lid. Then, in order to prevent oxidation, a kind of fish sauce stock called "Ishiru," made from sardines, is poured into the edge of the barrel. The tissue samples of the ovaries that have been soaked in fermented rice bran for six months to a year in this way are collected, and after the tetrodotoxin test results, they are shipped as commercial products if they are judged to have no effect on the human body. In the video, you can see the cook handling the Goma Fugu and removing the ovaries at 0:14. You can see how they're arranged and laid neatly in a huge container from 0:26 in the video. The finished Pufferfish Nukazuke, taken out of the fermented rice bran bed, is shown in the video from 1:11. Traditional Japanese Nukazuke Photo:Nukazuke Nukazuke is a traditional Japanese fermentation technique, but the scientific evidence for detoxifying lethal toxins such as tetrodotoxin has not been established. However, it is thought that tetrodotoxin may be broken down via the action of microorganisms and lactic acid bacteria that are born during the fermentation process. Since the time when medicine and science were still underdeveloped, the raw ovaries of the highly poisonous Goma Fugu were carefully fermented over a period of more than two years to transform them into harmless luxury foods. The depth of the history of some Japanese cultures is quite astonishing. Summary of Pufferfish Nukazuke Source :YouTube screenshot An amateur cannot make Pufferfish Nukazuke because a cooking qualification license is required to handle pufferfish. Pufferfish nukazuke is a very popular luxury food, and a specialty of Ishikawa prefecture, because the only manufacturer of Pufferfish Nukazuke is Ishikawa prefecture. Eaten as is, Pufferfish Nukazuke is delectable. br> It makes a great side dish with rice and sake, and it also can be used as a seasoning, so there are various Japanese foods you can use it with. Consider giving it a try!
