the most impressive thing about Japanese cuisine is its exquisite workmanship and natural ingredients, which give people a clean and comfortable feeling. This is one of the reasons for going to Japan. Follow me to feel the Japanese food culture.
Many restaurants in Japan are family restaurants, and they have a long history of operation, which makes them work hard and seriously on food. No matter whether they manage high-end meals or manage small noodle restaurants and stalls, they are very particular about everything. It is estimated that this is the foundation for many small restaurants to survive. I have seen a small dumpling restaurant with a history of 54 years, which is amazing.
Japanese restaurants pay great attention to the environment and atmosphere. Even if breakfast is free in a tatami room in a hotel, it's all very impressive, giving people a feeling of atmosphere and emotional appeal, and their appetite is greatly increased.
I remember that in Honnōji Hotel, Kyoto, we were given a free breakfast, and the room rate was not very expensive in Japan. As a result, this free breakfast was delivered to our room. When the waiter entered the guest room, he cleaned the room, set the table and served a full breakfast, which was beyond our imagination.
Japanese food is safe to eat, because the supervision is strict and the ingredients are very green, so we dare to eat boldly. I ate it several times in Japan this time, but it was really fat but not greasy, and the feeling of being tender and smooth was not very expensive.
I never drink free tea bags in hotels. I don't like drinking tea at all, let alone tea bags. However, I couldn't help drinking a free tea bag in a hotel, and I also took away a free one, because I had never drunk this salty plum tea similar to seafood soup. Japanese plum tea is made up of dried plums, green tea and a little soy sauce. It tastes a little sweet and sour and can be used to treat anorexia and heatstroke caused by heat. )
Plum tea has existed in China since ancient times, and there is an anecdote. In those days, Ximen Qing was fascinated by Pan Jinlian, and he went to the teahouse in Wang Po five times in two days to inquire about it. Wang Po took out plum tea and gave it to him, which was a metaphor for being a "medium" to help Ximen Qing "quench his thirst".
When I went to Japan, many friends asked me to go to izakaya for a drink. It is said that Japanese workers often go to izakaya for a drink after work, and then go home, which shows a great sense of accomplishment. As a result, the streets are full of small wine houses. Dotonbori, the most famous food street in Osaka, is dazzled by the food signs, and some small shops have to queue up.
I found a sushi restaurant with fresh ingredients and hand-made on the spot. It was delicious. The price is a little more expensive than that in China. If two people eat it, it will cost more than RMB 3.
Many restaurants in Japan don't drink white wine at first, but it is said that Japanese sake is different from our white wine, which is fermented from grain and koji. After trying it, it is addictive. It is not as fragrant as domestic white wine, only a little old rice wine, but the taste is very pure.
There are many grades of sake in Japan, from high to low, which are divided into: pure rice Dayin Brewing (Dayin Brewing), pure rice Yinniang (Yinniang Brewing), special pure rice (Pure Rice) and special Ben Brewing (Ben Brewing). So far, I can't tell the good from the bad, but it tastes good anyway. Sake is a little particular when you drink it. You need to put it in a hip flask first, and then warm it with water. It tastes good.
The simple Japanese meal is Lamian Noodles. Sometimes the lunch time is short, so most people just eat Lamian Noodles, which is simple and quick. However, their Lamian Noodles is a little different from ours, and the workmanship is very fine at the crucial moment. It's just a photo of the chef taken at the ramen restaurant.
Their Lamian Noodles is delicious. They ordered a signature Lamian Noodles, which is eggs, pork and bamboo shoots. However, the eggs are warm-spring eggs, which are half-cooked. The pork is made in secret, which tastes bad and delicious, but it is a little salty and oily. If you eat it in a bowl, you don't want to eat it for dinner.
On the edge of Fujimi Daiwa in Kyoto, there is an inconspicuous small restaurant with a signboard in front of it, saying that it has been rated as an excellent restaurant by foreign tourists for two years. After eating a meal in Lamian Noodles, this bowl of mackerel buckwheat noodles is much lighter, and the price is not very expensive, equivalent to RMB 47.
udon noodle is one of the noodles with the most Japanese characteristics, and it is also called the three major noodles in Japan together with Japanese buckwheat noodles and green tea noodles. I didn't catch a cold before, but after eating udon noodles at a popular noodle restaurant called Maruko Noodle in Kyoto, my impression was greatly improved.
This noodle restaurant is eaten by local people in Kyoto. It's cheap and delicious. A bowl of noodles is RMB 25 yuan, but you need to send the empty bowl back by yourself after eating. Udon is very particular about how to eat. The restaurant has specially prepared instructions for the noodle mixing method, and there are Chinese ones. I made a bunch of delicious food according to the said method, and I almost licked the plate with all the food.
Compared with the high-end food in Lamian Noodles, there is also tea-soaked rice, which is called "samurai's food" in Japan, because it ignores the fast food on the March, brews tea leaves with fermented tea and hot water, and soaks the cold rice with salt, dried plums, seaweed and other ingredients.
I really like to eat Japanese-style fixed food, which is a set meal in Japanese restaurants. Rice is the main food, and the rice is set at 25g. The ingredients are also standardized, such as pork cartilage, eel, pork chop and tempura, which are all around 1. Because the food is standardized and easy to prepare, it is called fixed food. The price is not expensive. If you are in a general restaurant, the order price of this set of sea fish is about RMB 5, so you are full.
When you go to Kobe, everyone knows the legendary Kobe beef, which is a Japanese high-end food that you have to eat, ranking sixth in the world-class food. When I ate it for the first time, it didn't taste like our beef at all, and it didn't have the meat quality of coarse fiber. It was very tender. Many parts of beef could be eaten raw, and the price was really not cheap. A kilogram of cheap beef cost about three or four hundred yuan, and the expensive one was two or three thousand RMB.
The most obvious feature of Kobe beef is marble-like pattern, because it is fat and thin with excellent meat. Kobe beef must be born and raised in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and it is pure. However, Ma Niu is considered as a national treasure food in Japan, and only about 3, cows meet the quality requirements of Kobe beef every year.
Speaking of beef barbecue, by the way, let's talk about Japanese barbecue. There are many barbecues in stalls, but they are not grilled with carbon wood. Many barbecues with fire guns or gas are easy to master the heat and speed, but the taste is not as heavy as that of China barbecue and delicious as that of carbon wood barbecue.
I like grilled fish very much. One is salty enough, and the other is that the fish is tender. Because there are many marine fish in Japan, the price is not expensive. I ate a large piece of grilled fish at a barbecue stall, which is equivalent to RMB 3.
There are many barbecue shops in Japan, but they are totally different from our barbecue. Personally, apart from the grilled seafood, they are not as delicious as the barbecue in China.
another kind of food belongs to the same category as barbecue, that is, Guandong cooking. This is a very simple dish in kanto region, Japan in the past, that is, eggs, radishes, potatoes, kelp, konjac, fish balls, bamboo wheels (fish, bean products) are cooked in stock, or they can be dipped in seasonings. I think the taste is so weak that I like it very much.
In addition to Kobe beef, another high-end Japanese food is of course Huaishi cuisine. Of course, the price is just as expensive. No matter how exquisite it is, the dishes and other utensils for holding food are all works of art..
Cuisine is a very common Japanese food in Japan. However, when monks meditated, they held hot stones to resist hunger, so they got the elegant name of Huaishi Cuisine.
Huaishi cuisine pursues a higher realm than the belly, so it is extremely exquisite in workmanship. The so-called three dishes in one juice have all the colors, flavors and flavors, and even the order of serving is exquisite. The weight is very small, but the price is high. At least a few hundred thousand yuan, about 14 dishes, are all works of art.
It's so delicate, sometimes I really feel unbearable to eat. Before I eat it, I carefully took pictures and found that every dish is very well decorated, even a leaf of the vegetable is well arranged.
many people exclaimed, how can they be full? In fact, not to mention more than a dozen dishes, you won't feel underfed after eating at last, at least you will feel seven points full.
When you go to Nara, you must eat persimmon leaf sushi. Put pickled salmon fillets and blue-and-white fillets on vinegar bibimbap and wrap them in persimmon leaf. persimmon leaf can keep fresh and remove fishy smell. Persimmon leaves in Pingzong are the best. There was persimmon leaf sushi in Nara in ancient times. Don't eat leaves when eating. When I first ate it, I even ate persimmon leaf.
Tofu in Kyoto, Japan really lives up to its reputation, with exquisite workmanship and instant feeling. It is said that many of them are due to the addition of egg white.
all kinds of dried fruits are good, too. I bought some dried blueberries at a stall for 1 yuan each. It tastes good, but it's a little expensive. These nattos are sold at 2 to 3 yuan for 1 g. Is it delicious or not?
There are many strawberries in Japanese fruits, and they taste good, so they try to eat them carefully in candied haws, which is really beautiful. It's just a little sweet and sour, which is more suitable for girls.
Japanese dim sum is really a must, with exquisite workmanship. It doesn't have strong chemical flavor at critical moments, which always makes me eat enough. I don't know what this snack is called, but it is filled with ice cream. It tastes hot outside and ice inside, so it has a feeling.
