From Japan to Brussels, from our plate to your mouth, there is nothing diminutive or crude about otsumami, or I'm Tomo, a Japanese blogger living in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. For the purpose of enriching your life, I would like to introduce things about Japan on this blog, especially unique Japanese products, cooking recipes, cultures, and facts and trivia. Cabbage types can differ based on where you live, but for this no-cook dish, I recommend using soft, green cabbage that is suitable to use raw instead of white, red, or napa cabbage.
Wakakozake is a manga and anime focused on the pleasure the main character gets from pairing the perfect sakana with a drink. The seasoned cod is more on the salty side rather than sweet and goes perfectly with chilled beer or sake. They have a very crunchy texture. And Daships taste like an elegant dashi broth. They’re also slightly sweet with notes of cinnamon. The rice was the focal point of improvement for the re-opening of the Sushi Kou. Carefully selected from Hyogo, the old rice of Kinuhikari that features a distinctive presence of each grain is used.The “ osashimi” section of the menu explains the fresh fish and seafood available for sashimi that day. Look for a “moriawase” dish if you’d like to try a selection of different fish. Kushimono The omakase experience starts off with a selection of otsumami, or small bites, and offers modern interpretations of classic Japanese dishes like the wagyu dumpling with aged Parmesan; the decadent shokupan, a grilled piece of milk bread, topped with a layer of toro and final heap of golden kaluga caviar, finished off with a dash of gold flakes; and chawanmushi, an egg custard with snow crab and winter truffle. In addition to offering plain steamed rice, menus will typically offer “gohan” or rice dishes like “chahan” (fried rice), “donburi” (rice bowl topped with meat), and “onigiri” rice balls. Japanese butterfish from Nagasaki Prefecture are served to guests while freshly caught. The white flesh has a refreshing texture, and the white rice accompanies it. Herbaceous wines like Gruner Veltliner and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc are also good pairings. And so is dry Riesling.
I mentioned that this yamitsuki cabbage is typically an izakaya dish, but you might be wondering what an "izakaya" is exactly. Izakaya is a traditional Japanese casual eatery that serves a wide variety of Japanese cuisine (tapas style) along with drinks and alcoholic beverages, making them great spots to hang out with friends or unwind after work. You can simply think of them as Japanese tapas bars or pubs. Stingray fin is another popular Pub appetizer taken with sake. It may seem strange to eat stingray fin but it's actually a popular delicacy in Japan. The fins are dried and then slightly Roasted or grilled with ingredients with shichimi (a mixture of 7 different peppers), mayonnaise and soy sauce. It is chewy and heavily flavored. You either love it or hate it but you can't deny that it's a rare dish.

Its skin is seared then served with grated daikon in soy sauce for a refreshing taste. The red vinegar rice is used.
Chawanmushi with snow crab and Hokkaido uni Joseph Weaver Talk about the 24-seat Chef's Stage experience — it's so unique that the chef not only prepares each bite for you, and literally hands it to you, but also that the fish itself is so fresh no soy sauce is even offered. Iburigakko has a snappy texture and a mild flavor. It’s a little sweet, very savory, and a bit meaty. I’m hooked! As the name suggests, Japanese salted cabbage is a simple side dish made with raw cabbage that has been sprinkled with salt and other seasonings. Despite its simplicity, it's truly a delicious and addictive dish. Yamahira Suisan is the producer of this otsumami. And this coastal Shizuoaka producer has been making high-end dashi for 70 years.
When referring to living fish too, “Sakana (魚)” is usually used. Sakana can refer to both living and dead fish. If you have learned the Japanese language for a while, you probably know the meaning of the word “Sakana (魚)”.
There are a whole lot of vegetarian friendly Otsumami. For instance Edamame is basically boiled or steamed immature soybeans. It is very popular and cheap in Japan. It can be salted during or after boiling. You do not eat the pods, you should take the beans out, eat and discard the pods. It seems simple but it's really chewy and can get addictive. The gelatinous part from the spine of the tuna is simmered in cubes and served with flavorful Japanese mustard from Kyoto. Despite its small size, it holds a significant impact. The spear squid is grilled at 60 degrees, with a knife inserted in parallel on the surface and crushed sesame seeds sprinkled. The white vinegar rice would be used for raw squid, but because it is grilled, the red vinegar rice is used instead.

The word that can also be seen in the name Cheese Tara, “Tara (鱈/たら)” means “cod” or “codfish” in Japanese. On the other hand, these dried strings of scallop mantles retain some moisture but have a tough crunchy texture.
