Cabbage miso soup



This is a cabbage miso soup. Btw, Some people asked me same question how to make miso soup because they couldn't succeed. I found their same problem.They didn't add Dashi. Dashi is an fish bouillon that is necessary for Japanese cooking. You can get Dashi at most Asian shops. Famous brand of Dashi is Shimaya.

The basic composition of Japanese cuisine.

I teach Japanese cooking. This is today's menu for my cooking workshop.


豚肉と大根の煮物. Simmered pork and daikon.
ほうれん草の白和え. Spinach dressed with tofu.
茄子の即席漬. Pickled eggplant.
椎茸ご飯. Shiitake rice
えのきとじゃがいもの味噌汁. Potato and enoki miso soup

This layout of menu is so called Ichiju-sansai style.

Nowadays most people in the world, they reminds Japanese foods like Sushi, ramen, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, teppanyaki, etc... However in Japan, those foods are mostly for dining out or snack, and teppannyaki restaurant is not common. 'ichiju-sansai' is the traditional daily meal patterns in Japanese cooking more than sushi.

Ichiju-sansai (一汁三菜)
Ichiju-sansai literally means 'one soup and three dishes'. Contents of three dishes are 'one main dish + two side dishes'. Ichiju-sansai is the basic composition of Japanese daily meal patterns.

Ichiju-issai (一汁一菜)
Ichiju-issai literally means 'one soup and one dish'. This simple composition is based on the policy of Zen Buddhism. The word ichiju-issai was used to mean 'a simple meal' (also called Soshoku) comprising only one dish.

There are many compositions. A menu might have one soup and three side dishes, one soup and five side dishes, two soups and five side dishes, two soups and seven side dishes, three soups and five side dishes, three soups and seven side dishes, or three soups and eleven side dishes, etc...

You don't have to remember all compositions. However it's better to remember 'ichiju-sansai' and 'ichiju-issai' if you want to prepare the meal in authentic Japanese style.

Salmon and avocado Chirashi-zushi


Salmon and avocado Chirashi-zushi. Chirashizushi is a kind of sushi.

There are largely two kinds of chirashizushi, which are seen in almost every part of Japan - vinegared rice being topped with various kinds of main ingredients (topping type) and main ingredients being mixed with vinegared rice (mixed type), and a combination of both is seen in some regions, that is, the main ingredients such as sashimi and slices of fish being placed on top of vinegared rice mixed with other ingredients.

In Japan Nigiri-zushi is mainly served in restaurant, and it's not common for home cooking. however Maki-zushi and Chirashi-zushi are often made at home in Japan.
