和食の一つである精進料理を紹介する動画 こちら「Master Chef Hiroki Abe Earned a Michelin Star for His Shojin Ryori Menu — Omakase」は、日本食の精進料理について紹介をしている動画です。 日本文化ならではの精進料理について、動画を元に紹介させていただきます。 精進料理って一体何? 精進料理は仏教の戒律に基づいた殺生や煩悩等の刺激を避けることに着目した料理です。 精進料理は、動物性の食材全般、そして五葷とも呼ばれるネギ属に分類される野菜を材料にすることを禁止しています。 食材から出汁まで、全て植物性のもので構成をされている健康的なグルメとして注目を浴びています。 この精進料理こそが会席料理の基本とされており、今の和食や日本食の原型と言っても過言ではありません。 動画の内容から見る精進料理 現在ニューヨークで精進料理を振舞っている名店『Kajitsu』のシェフであり、精進料理の職人としても知られている板前のHiroki Abeさんの言葉を借りて、精進料理について紹介をさせて頂きます。 動画の冒頭から語られている彩りの五色・味わいの五味・調理の五法は、精進料理において非常に重要な事柄なのでご覧下さい。 動画1:03で語られている通り、仏教の修行の一環として用いられた日本食・和食の一つが精進料理で、野菜や穀物に海藻と多くの調味料で構成されています。 野菜は旬の時期が大事だとされており、季節によってメニューも変わることから、訪れるたびに新鮮なグルメを堪能することが出来るのも魅力の一つでしょう。 野菜中心のため旬で食材が左右される精進料理。 そのため、お麩は季節に拘わらずに利用することができるため重要食材となっています。 今では日本文化を知ることが出来るグルメとしてニューヨークでも話題の日本食・和食のお店であるKajitsuは、数多くある精進料理を堪能出来る中でも一際人気なお店となっています。 日本料理の元祖である精進料理の紹介まとめ 今では日本食・和食の一つの形として定着をしている精進料理。 ヘルシー志向がトレンドの今、伝統的な精進料理を召し上がってみてはいかがですか? -

Freshly Cooked Yakitori at Japan's Food Stalls This is a video of yakitori being grilled and taste tested at a yakitori stall. There are two types of yakitori: one in which chicken is skewered and grilled over charcoal or gas fire, and the other in which chicken is not skewered, but rather, cooked on a teppan grill. This is the type of yakitori found in Ehime Prefecture and other places. The former is probably the more popular variety, but at this stall, the yakitori is pressed on a teppan and then grilled over a gas fire at the end. Pressing helps to brown the chicken by releasing the oil, and the press also steams the chicken so it cooks faster. Yakitori goes great with beer or sake. You can often find yakitori stalls at festivals and other events. -

Minazuki no Hassun - A Dish to Pray for Good Health, Prepared by the Three-Michelin Star Restaurant, Gion Sasaki This video shows Gion Sasaki preparing "minazuki no hassun," a dish to pray for good health. Gion Sasaki opened in 1997 in Ponto-cho, Gion, and after moving once in Gion, opened its current location in 2006 in Gion, where many old establishments are still standing. The restaurant has been awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide. The appetizer is served in the middle of a Kaiseki course, and is a dish that features several dishes made from seafood, vegetables, and other ingredients, allowing you to enjoy a little bit of everything. The name for the month of June on the lunisolar calendar is "Minazuki" (水無月) in Japanese. There is also a "wagashi" (Japanese confectionery) called "Mizunazuki" which is a sweet with azuki beans on top of uirou (sweet rice jelly), and in Kyoto, it is customary to eat this sweet in June, halfway through the year when the summer purification ceremonies are held, to pray for good health for the remaining half of the year. Gion Sasaki's "Minazuki no Hassun" includes a variety of dishes that pray for six months of good health, such as matcha uiro topped with azuki beans, sushi rolls made of vinegared rice that looks like mashed potatoes, roasted duck, Hachiman-maki, nasu dengaku, and tomatoes.
