Taste of Tokyo

Tokyo flavor, also known as edo flavor, is mostly a traditional flavor passed down from generation to generation. Edo taste refers to the taste of dishes made from fish caught in Tokyo Bay. During the Edo period, Tokyo Bay was called "before Edo". 1603 (the eighth year of Qing dynasty), Tokugawa Ieyasu set up a shogunate here. After the opening of the 808-town, the "Edo Front" cuisine has been developing around the so-called Shimonomachi (civilian block) to this day.

Tempura: It is said that the pronunciation of tempero or tempora in Portuguese is incorrect. Shrimp, cuttlefish, fresh fish and various vegetables are wrapped in wheat flour and fried in oil.

"Sushi": After 7 years' cultivation (18 10), hand-held sushi first appeared in our institute, and has been used as sushi since then before the Edo era. Vinegar-flavored rice balls, also called sushi, have all kinds of fresh seafood (tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, etc.). ) and sweet roast chicken eggs. In addition, a rice ball made by putting cucumber and marinated vegetables in the middle to form a slender cylinder and wrapping with laver is called rolled sushi.

Sashimi: Cut all kinds of fresh fish into bite-sized slices and dip them in soy sauce and mustard to eat raw.

"Qiao Mai noodles": In the Lu Yuan era (1688 ~ 1703), it was loved by the people of Edo and developed into a typical taste of Edo. There are different ways to eat noodle soup and cold noodles.

Japanese hot pot: Put thin beef slices, various vegetables, tofu and sweet seasoning juice in a special iron pot placed on the dining table, cook and bake.
