Japanese cuisine: Everything you need to know!

Japanese Cuisine

Japanese cuisine is one of the most unique in the world, with roots stretching back to the Neolithic era. Its foundation lies in rice and fish; in fact, for many centuries, meat consumption was largely prohibited in Japan.

Rice vinegar, sushi nori, sushi rice, fresh fish, vegetables, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste (the spicy accompaniment made from Japanese horseradish) are the essential ingredients for any Japanese dish. Cooking oil is used sparingly, generally limited to salads and specific vegetable preparations. If you are looking for a light yet highly nutritious meal, Japanese cuisine is the perfect choice.

Sushi

Sushi is the quintessential traditional Japanese food and one of the nation’s most iconic dishes. It is prepared in many ways using various ingredients, but it is always based on vinegared rice and seafood or fish. It is traditionally served with soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger. Historically, sushi was first sold at street stalls, which eventually evolved into the modern sushi bars we know today.

Japanese Soba Noodles

In addition to traditional Chinese noodles, Japan offers Soba noodles. These are made from a blend of wheat and buckwheat, giving them a unique earthy flavour. They can be enjoyed with chicken, seafood, various sauces, and fresh vegetables.
