Introducing a NYC Sushi Chef! This video, titled "Chef Masaki Saito’s Fish Aging Techniques Earned Him Two Michelin Stars — Omakase Sushi," was produced by "Eater." The video features an interview with a sushi chef active in New York City! The culture of Japanese food is now popular all over the world, with things like sushi and kaiseki cuisine. In fact "Washoku" has been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Now, this food culture is spreading worldwide. In the business world, having lunch meetings over healthy Japanese food has become a common practice. In this video, we'll introduce a sushi chef from "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York" while exploring the essence of Japanese cuisine. After watching this video, you'll understand why Japanese cuisine is loved all over the world. Sushi - The Representative of Japanese Cuisine Photo:Sushi Sushi is a traditional Japanese food that combines vinegar rice with seafood. It has a long history, and was first created around 4th century BC by the people of Southeast Asia. The people of that time preserved fish using fermented rice, leading to the first rendition of sushi. There are numerous types of sushi, including: nigiri sushi, hand-rolled sushi, inarizushi, chirashizushi, gomoku sushi, barazushi, oshizushi (pressed sushi), chakin sushi, temari sushi, sousaku sushi (creative sushi), narezushi, datemaki sushi, futomaki sushi, shima sushi, sasamaki sushi, funazosuhi, kakinoha sushi, meharizushi, mackerel sushi, matsumae sushi, Osaka sushi, battera, raw sushi, warm sushi, dodomese, inakazushi, sakezushi, and more! Sushi is made with different methods and ingredients all over Japan, with various areas having their own specialty sushi. In Japan, there are many popular sushi restaurants in areas where fresh fish is easily available. These areas include Hokkaido, Tsukiji and Ginza in Tokyo, Toyama Prefecture, Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture, Fukuoka City, and more. Upon hearing the word "sushi," many people think of long-established luxury sushi restaurants, and start worrying about their wallet. However, there are actually many conveyor belt sushi restaurants, which are popular for their cheap prices. Popular sushi ingredients include medium fatty tuna, salmon, onion and tuna, salmon roe, sea urchin, and seasonal fish. What's your favorite sushi ingredient? Do note that there is a unique etiquette when it comes to eating sushi, as well as specialized terms with rice being called "shari" (シャリ), and ginger called "gari" (ガリ). Masaki Saito, the New York Sushi Chef Whose Restaurant Boasts 2 Michelin Stars Source :YouTube screenshot This video introduces chef Masaki Saito of "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York." He talks about the essence of sushi which he tries to bring across in his restaurant. Saito was born in Hokkaido, and has been familiar with seafood since he was a child. You might even say that it was predestined that he become a sushi chef. That might sound like an exaggeration, but if you watch the video you'll probably think so too! Many people in Japan think that sushi is merely a combination of vinegar rice and slices of raw fish. However, in actuality, the original edomae sushi required a lot of effort to marinate kombu (kelp), pickle side dishes, and roast ingredients. What's more is, it takes a lot of skill and effort not to spoil the raw flavor of the ingredients. This is the essence of the craftsmanship that can only be found in Japanese cuisine. From 1:29 in the video, Saito states that "salting and dehydration keeps the ingredients fresh," and from 3:36, he adds that marinating the kombu brings out the unique umami and aroma of the Hokkaido kombu used, adding flavor. From 1:44 in the video, he introduces the preparation process for Aori ika (bigfin reef squid). The squid is first cleanly sliced with a knife. He explains that, If you use too much heat, the ingredients will become cooked, but what you want is to preserve the freshness. At the same time, heat is needed to sterilize the ingredients. That's why careful heat management is crucial. Next, from 2:54 in the video, he states that the use of vinegar depends on the type of fish, and fish can also be cured using soy sauce or soup stock. In the world of sushi, "simmering" does not mean boiling ingredients in soup and then keeping it cooking for a long time, but rather, letting it pass through hot soup stock for a short time. There are a few aging techniques for maintaining the fresh flavor of the ingredients. These techniques include "fermenting" (漬け, zuke) in vinegar or soy sauce, lightly "broiling" (炙る, aburu) the surface of the ingredients, and "finishing" (〆る, shimeru) with salt or vinegar. Although Japan is the birthplace of Japanese cuisine, the essence of such craftsmanship is often forgotten. In fact, we might be so used to Japanese food that we take all this for granted, never having a chance to appreciate the depths of the effort that goes into our cuisine. Which is why, now that the world is gaining an appreciation of Japanese cuisine, we should all take this amazing opportunity to understand the essence of sushi and Japanese cuisine. Isn't Aging the Sushi Considered Cooking It? Source :YouTube screenshot According to Saito, aging is not part of the cooking process. Cooking is a technique where heat is spread evenly throughout the ingredients, with condiments added for flavor. This way, the protein that the animal had when it was alive is weakened. However, "aging," which was discovered in Japan in the latter half of the 1800's, is a technique for maintaining the raw state of the ingredients for as long as possible. Thus, the diminishing of protein is minimized, and the texture and flavor of the raw ingredients is not affected." Therefore, you could also say that if the ingredients are not fresh, they are not suitable for aging. This can be seen from 0:27 in the video. The aging techniques are so familiar to us in Japan that they practically go unnoticed by anyone not aiming to become a sushi chef or other kind of chef. In fact, it might only be when you see Japanese cuisine from an outside perspective that you realize just how advanced these techniques can be. The Essence of Japanese Food in New York, Where Cultures from Around the World Intersect Photo:New York Even in the United States, which has the world's largest economy, New York is an especially large city where cuisine and cultures from all over the world co-exist and intermingle. If you go sightseeing in New York, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat sushi in a casual setting, or even order delivery. As the land where pizza delivery was born, food delivery is a popular service in the United States. Additionally, through food reviews on the internet, you can see the deep knowledge that New Yorkers have about Japanese cuisine. Outside of Japan sushi is evolving, with new recipes, such as rolled sushi and California rolls. Nowadays, sushi chefs who have graduated from sushi academies are active all over the world, but New York in particular has a thriving market. Japanese cuisine in New York is a mixture of gems and stones, but "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York" is truly a gem where you taste traditional Japanese sushi made using genuine techniques. Summary of the Sushi Chef of Sushi Ginza Onodera Photo:Sushi If you happen to visit New York, definitely stop by "Sushi Ginza Onodera New York" to experience the essence of Japanese cuisine. Comparing sushi from outside of Japan to the sushi you can find within Japan is a great way to experience how different cultures intermingle to create new flavors! Today, Japanese cuisine is loved all over the world, to the point that you can enjoy genuine Japanese food even in New York. For Japanese people, eating some familiar Japanese food can even help with eliminating jet lag 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?
