Skilled Chefs Cooking up Dorayaki, a Popular Japanese Sweet! Learn the History of Dorayaki, the Origin of Its Name, and Other Secrets of the Popular Japanese Confection!
Food & Drink- 96 plays
- YouTube
Kawachiya, a Famous Dorayaki Restaurant in Shizuoka Prefecture This video, titled “Japanese Street Food - Japanese Pancake DORAYAKI Jiggly Fluffy Cake,” was uploaded by “Sushi Bomber TV|Cooking Front Line” (Sushi Bomber TV クッキング最前線). Dorayaki is a classic Japanese sweet loved by the people of Japan! These sweets are also well known from the popular anime "Doraemon." Dorayaki is a snack that can be easily made at home with pancake mix and anko (sweet bean paste), but you'll appreciate the flavor even more after watching the skillful techniques of these confectioners! There are many autographs of famous people inside Kawachiya, and it's frequently featured on TV programs across Japan. Kawachiya was established in 1988 and the popular confectionery features a limit of five dorayaki per person, but this is because the owner wants as many people as possible to be able to try them. The Coca-Cola logo at the front of the shop, where the owner is demonstrating and selling the dorayaki, gives the shop a slightly retro look. Dorayaki – A Popular Japanese Confection Photo:Dorayaki Dorayaki is such a popular Japanese confection that there are famous stores all over Japan, but surprisingly few people know how to make it properly. The recipe differs from store to store, but here we'll share a simple recipe and the origin of the name "dorayaki." Dorayaki is a general term for Japanese sweets made of a disk-shaped sponge cake with sweet bean paste sandwiched in between. It is said that the name "dorayaki" came from the shape of the sponge cake, which resembles a gong, which in Japanese is 銅鑼, pronounced "dora." The dough is made of wheat flour, eggs, and honey, giving it a slightly Western feel, making it a very popular sweet regardless of age or gender. Recently, freezing technology has advanced to allow them to be stored for longer periods of time, making them a great souvenir or gift. The standard sweet bean paste used inside is "koshi-an" or "tsubu-an," but there are also unique stores that add "shiro-an" (white bean paste) or cream. As you can see at 9:10 in the video, a special version with peanut butter sandwiched between the freshly baked cakes is served to the waiting customers. Nowadays, machine made dorayaki are commonly available at supermarkets and convenience stores, but there's something special about eating freshly made, fluffy, and hot dorayaki made right before your eyes at a street vendor. The History of Dorayaki. Why Are There so Many Dorayaki Products With the Name “Mikasa”? Photo:Torayaki The origins of dorayaki date back hundreds of years, and it is said that there was already a confection like the one we known today in the Kamakura period (1192 to 1333 A.D.). It is said that the current style of sandwiching two pieces of sponge cake together became standard in the Showa period (1926–1989 A.D.), but in the Edo period (1603-1868 A.D.), it was common to fold the round baked dough around the sweet bean paste, sort of like a dorayaki taco. It's said that the major Japanese confectionery Bunmeido made Dorayaki famous nationwide, and since this company popularized Dorayaki under the product name of "Seika Mikasa-yama," many Dorayaki products have been named "Mikasa." There is also a theory that the names "Mikasa," "Mikasa-yaki," and "Mikasa-manju" are favored in Japan's Kansai region because they originate from Mt. Wakakusa, commonly referred to as Mt. Mikasa, in Nara Prefecture. There are also "Nama-dora" with whipped cream, "Torayaki" with tiger patterened cakes ("tora" means "tiger" in Japanese), and "Mushi-dora" where the cakes are steamed instead of baked. Famous Dorayaki Stores Across Japan In this article, we introduced the famous "Kawachiya," a confectionery in Shizuoka, but there are many stores all over Japan where the popular sweet, dorayaki, is sold. In Tokyo, there are three major dorayaki shops: "Kameju" in Asakusa, "Usagiya" in Ueno, and "Sogetsu" in Higashi-Jujo, all of which are crowded with customers seeking dorayaki every day. Dorayaki is also very popular in online rankings. "Suzumeya" in Minami-Ikebukuro, "Seijuken" in Nihonbashi, "Bairindo" which originated in Saitama Prefecture, the popular "Kouro-an" in Yokohama, "Ryoguchiya Korekiyo" in Nagoya, "Morihan" and "Taneya" in Kyoto are all famous wagashi stores with high rankings. Summary of Dorayaki, the Popular Japanese Confection Photo:Dorayaki being made One of the highlights of Kawachiya, the shop introduced here, is the is the teamwork of the husband and wife. The husband cooks up the delicious confections and the wife packages them diligently. The dorayaki, with its fluffy sponge cake and generous amount of sweet bean paste will have you coming back for more! It is also sold in an assortment with other Japanese sweets, making it a great gift. Some stores also offer a service where they'll print a face on the cakes for birthdays and celebrations, making it great for special occasions as well! 【TripAdvisor】Kawachiya https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g298124-d1704426-Reviews-Kawachiya-Shizuoka_Shizuoka_Prefecture_Tokai_Chubu.html -

The Origin and Types of Taiyaki Photo:Taiyaki In Japan, “Imagawayaki, a round pancake filled with red bean paste, has been eaten since the Edo period (1603-1868). One day, a long established imagawayaki store changed the shape of their pancakes from a round shape to a fish shape. After changing the shape, the snack quite literally sold like hotcakes. The nursery rhyme Oyoge Taiyaki-kun was also a popular song for children in the Showa era. Taiyaki has a long history, and the variety of taiyaki is expanding rapidly, from the more orthodox ones with azuki beans in between, to chocolate taiyaki and even cream taiyaki.

The batter is poured into a metal baking mold specially made for taiyaki, followed by a generous amount of sweet bean paste, as shown at 0:45 in the video. When the batter is sufficiently cooked, the two sides of the mold are combined and it is further baked, as shown at 1:27 in the video.

Taiyaki is inexpensive and easy to eat, making it a great snack.

Things to Be Careful Of! Source :YouTube screenshot If you're a woman looking to do some solo camping, we recommend that you choose a location and be thorough with security. Let's look at some points to keep in mind. ・Choose a campsite with a resident caretaker Some campgrounds do not have a resident caretaker. Some campgrounds are not staffed, especially at night, so if you are planning to camp solo, choose a campground with a full-time caretaker. ・Set up your tent in a public place. When setting up your tent, you may be tempted to choose a quiet place to enjoy your time alone, but we recommend that you set up your tent in a place where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic. It's also a good idea to set up as close to family campers as possible to protect yourself from any campers looking for any women camping alone. ・Avoid posting on social networking sites in real time Be careful about social networking sites such as Instagram and YouTube. Posting photos on social networking sites in real time can expose your whereabouts. ・Prepare security goods and locks Always have some emergency supplies, such as a personal alarm, by your bedside, and lock your tent when you go to bed, so that if something should happen, you can immediately warn others of danger. Summary This time we introduced a video about solo camping for women. In winter, Bubetsu Forest Camping Field in Hokkaido is covered with snow and has different scenery in spring and summer. There are also hot springs in the area, so it's a good place to stretch your legs. In addition, there is a barbecue restaurant where you can enjoy Shiraoi beef, a specialty of the area, and a Shiraoi beef store that sells beef directly to customers. With Japan's recent camping boom, women's solo camping has become increasingly popular. The appeal of solo camping is that you can enjoy the luxury of having nature all to yourself with your favorite camping gear. The light of a lantern at night and the sunlight filtering through the lush hardwoods is sure to create a photogenic atmosphere to post on Instagram. Despite all of the enjoyment, women's solo camping can be dangerous. To enjoy camping safely, please keep in mind the precautions we introduced above. Bubetsu Forest Camping Field is a good spot for camping beginners and female solo campers.

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? -

グルメがうなる本物の和食「蕎麦」の美味しさ~「石臼そば」の魅力 こちらの動画は「ANA Global Channel」が公開した「SOBA - IS JAPAN COOL? WASHOKU - 和食 (蕎麦)」です。 こちらの動画では、神奈川県逗子市に店舗を構える、店主がバングラデシュ出身という異色のお店、蕎麦好きの和食グルメに大人気の手打ち蕎麦屋「石臼そば」を紹介します。 古くから伝わる伝統の製法で作られる「石臼そば」 低カロリーで栄養のある和食として知られる日本蕎麦には「ざる蕎麦」「かけ蕎麦」「つけ蕎麦」「きつね蕎麦」「たぬき蕎麦」「天ぷら蕎麦」「月見蕎麦」「とろろ(山かけ)蕎麦」「おろし蕎麦」「南蛮蕎麦」など数多くの商品がありそのレシピも多様です。 しかし、どの蕎麦も麺の製法で味が決まることに変わりはありません。 古来の日本料理である蕎麦の作り方にこだわる「石臼そば」では、動画で紹介されているように、昔ながらの古い石臼で蕎麦の実を挽くことから蕎麦の仕込みがスタートします。 約3時間石臼を回し、ふるいを通し、きめ細かいそば粉に。 そしてそば粉を水で練り上げ、麺棒で伸ばして蕎麦打ち。 さらに丁寧に断裁し蕎麦切塩釜なども使用し、ようやく蕎麦麺が完成するという根気のいる手順で作られます。 究極の和食として「手打ち」を売りにする蕎麦屋は数多いもの。 「石臼そば」は既成品のそば粉を使用せず、独自のルートで仕入れた原料を昔ながらの製法で作り上げます。 食通の期待に応える緻密な調理法 店主のチョードリーさんは動画の中で 「和食としての蕎麦は、作る職人次第で味が変わるので、作るときはそばに気持ちを集中しないと、グルメの方々が喜ぶ美味しい蕎麦にはなりません。 蕎麦は、その日の気温や湿度の変化によって、毎日水の量お微妙に変える必要がある、非常にデリケートな食材なのです。」 と語ります。 日本全国の和食通やグルメの期待に応えるため、食材の産地にもこだわりがあり、蕎麦の実を北海道から九州まで日本全国から取り寄せています。 蕎麦の糖度は各地で異なり、蕎麦は平地よりも傾いた土地の方が高品質のものが収穫できるので、店では棚田で収穫された蕎麦が使用されています。 蕎麦つゆや蕎麦湯にも独特のこだわりとアレンジが もちろん蕎麦に限らず和食に欠かせないのが蕎麦つゆで、和食好きのグルメにもこだわりがあります。 動画で紹介されているように、「石臼そば」では蕎麦つゆにも深いこだわりを持っており、なんと蕎麦つゆには「かつお節」だけでなく「さば節」と「宗田節」の三種類を使用しているとのこと。 また、昆布は前日に漬け込んでおくという念の入りようで、材料の分量や調理にかける時間で味も変わるため、その微妙な調整に最も神経を遣うと言います。 また、蕎麦湯にもお店独自のアレンジが施されており、一味違う美味しさを味わえます。 「石臼そば」紹介まとめ 京都や静岡など蕎麦処として有名な地域は日本全国にありますが、動画で紹介されている蕎麦店は「日本の古くからの伝統を継承した蕎麦が堪能できる店」として、今では逗子市の名店となりました。 「美味しい和食文化を味わえる店」との評価が高く、多くの観光客が訪れる人気スポットとなっています。 -

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。 -

Introducing Dinnerware and Cutlery for Families Who Love to Camp While leisure and other activities are limited due to the Corona pandemic, camping, which can be enjoyed outdoors, has become very popular in Japan. Here we'll introduce camping accessories that family campers have found useful. Check out these compact items and how to neatly store them. Video Introduction This video, titled "Introducing Family Camping Dishes, Cutlery, and Cookers!" (Introduce items such as family camp dishes, cutlery and cooker!) was uploaded by "Pahta / Camp." It introduces recommended dinnerware, cutlery, cookers, and other camping items for family camping that can fit in a Seattle Sports Frost Pak Soft Cooler! The video introduces cutlery and dinnerware sets for a family of four, including two children and two adults, neatly stored in a soft cooler. This video is recommended for beginners as it explains the appeal of each camping item, what to look for, design features, and materials. The way they're stored is also very helpful. Be sure to check it out in the video! Storing Camping Dinnerware and Cutlery Neatly and Compactly Source :YouTube screenshot The video begins with the opening of a SEATTLE SPORTS Frost Pack 25QT, which stores dinnerware and cutlery, and which is useful for camping with a family. The Seattle Sports Frostpack 25QT is an American-born brand synonymous with soft coolers. When camping solo, you can also take your family's portion of dinnerware and cutlery out of the bag and go camping with less weight. Now, let's take a look at the items introduced in the video. Basic Camping Rice Cooker and Kettle Source :YouTube screenshot Introduced first are bottles for making tea and water, a rice cooker for cooking rice, and a kettle for boiling water. Rice is a staple food in Japan and it's great for cooking when camping as well. Snow Peak, the cookware, can also be used to make soup and rice, and the lid can be used as a frying pan. ・1 liter Nalgene bottle: Used to store water ・UNIFLAME Rice Cooker Mini DX: Used to cook rice ・Trangia Kettle 0.9L (aluminum): Used to boil water ・Snow Peak Trek 1400 (aluminum): Cooking utensils Titanium Dinnerware and Cutlery Photo:Outdoor dinnerware Titanium is a suitable material for dinnerware because of its high heat resistance. If the heat from hot soup or other food is transferred directly to your dinnerware, it can cause burns when eating. In this respect, titanium dinnerware stays relatively cool, allowing you to eat without worrying about being burned by your cutlery. [Video] 2:53 - Introduction of cutlery Cups, cutlery, and other items featured in the video. The first titanium sierra cup that PAHTA (the youtuber) bought is a product that they recommend. It's a simple design, but the handle is designed so that it naturally hooks onto the middle finger when held, making it easy to hold and spill-resistant. ・Snow Peak Titanium Sierra Cup: Used for cooking and as dinnerware ・Snow Peak - Trek Titanium Bowl (discontinued) ・Snow Peak - Trek Titanium Plate (discontinued) ・Coleman - Cooking Tool Box 2: Holds mugs and cutlery ・Snow Peak - Stacking Mug Snow Peak H300: Mugs ・Snow Peak - Titanium Cutlery FS (discontinued): Forks and spoons ・OPINEL - Opinel No. 7 Round Tipped Stainless Steel Knife ・Windmill - Windmill JP Turbo Lighter ・A rice scoop and chop sticks ・MSR ALPINE DX Cutting Board: A small cutting board with stylish colors Titanium dinnerware and cutlery is popular partly because it is lightweight when carried to cleaning stations at camp. Another important feature that makes them popular is that they can be neatly stacked for easy storage. Useful Camping Gear for Drying Dishes Source :YouTube screenshot After eating at camp, it's necessary to clean up afterwards. Here we'll introduce some useful goods for cleaning up. ・Coleman Hanging Dry Net 2: A net for drying dishes outdoors ・Sponge and detergent for cleaning dinnerware ・HOLD & FOLD baby bottle stand (discontinued): used as a portable drying rack Featured in the video is a HOLD&FOLD baby bottle drying rack. After washing dishes, you'll want to dry them, but there are surprisingly few compact dish drying racks. The product shown in the video is a reused baby bottle holder but is compact and convenient. Summary For beginners who are thinking about getting camping equipment, videos and information from advanced campers who have actually used the equipment and are comfortable recommending it are a useful resource. It's important to choose camping equipment that is light, simple, and easy to use, and that can be stored neatly. As shown in the video, storing a family's worth of dinnerware, cutlery, and cookers in sets will decrease the chance that you forget something. Be sure to reference this video for camping information. -

Cooking Eel and Wild Boar: Introductory Video This video, titled "Japanese cuisine – Wild Boar and Eel – Kanazawa – Seafood - Japan," was uploaded by by "Travel Thirsty." It gives an inside look at how skilled chefs prepare eel and wild boar, traditional ingredients in Japan. This video was filmed in the Japanese Ryokan (inn) "Yamanoo" (山乃尾) located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture (石川県金沢市) in Japan's Hokuriku region (北陸地方). You can take a close look at how skilled chefs prepare and cook both eel and wild boar meat. You'll be amazed at the speed at which the chef fillets the eel! Preparing and Cooking Fresh Eel Photo:raw eel From 4:45 in the video, you can see how eel is filleted and cooked Eel is high in protein and rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin D, vitamin E, DHA, EPA, and minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium and copper. In Japan, eel is often eaten as "Kabayaki" (蒲焼き) or "Unadon" (鰻丼). You can take a look at a prepared Unadon dish at 14:54 in the video. Another popular way to eat eel is "Hitsumabushi" (ひつまぶし), which is Kabayaki style eel chopped and served over rice in an earthenware pot. Preparing and Cooking Wild Boar Photo:wild boar meat Wild boar, a highly nutritious game meat, has been eaten in Japan since the Jomon period (14,000 BC-400 BC). The boar meat is introduced at 0:56 and 16:14 in the video. Wild boar meat used to be referred to as "Botanniku" (牡丹肉). From 21:41 in the video, you can see the wild boar dish "Botannabe" (牡丹鍋). Wild boar meat is higher in protein and has a higher water content compared to other meats such as pork, and it is surprisingly delicious! There are many wild boar dishes you can try, such as "Shishijiru" (シシ汁, boar soup), "Shishinabe" (シシ鍋, boar hot pot), "Kakuni Chashu" (角煮チャーシュー, boar char siu). Wild boar meat can also be barbecued, fried or simmered, all of which are extremely delicious.
