Tempura (天ぷら) is a classical Portuguese dish brought to and popularized by Japan, consisting of seafood or vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. Tempura is a typical home-style cooking in Japan. It is often referred to as a representative dish to Japan. Although there are various theories, it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the Edo period, liked tempura so much that he allegedly died from eating too much.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.

Thank you for visiting my page. I'm a certified cooking instructor with the Japan Association of cooking for Foreigners.
I was born and raised in Kawasaki city and moved to Nagoya 10 years ago. My father often invited his friends and relatives for dinner at my house. As a child, I liked seeing my mother making a lot of delicious Japanese dishes for home parties and enjoyed the atmosphere. Because of such experience, when I moved to California, I had often cooked Japanese food for my friends, and it was such a pleasure to see my friends enjoying the dishes.
I'm interested in engaging conversation with people from all over the world. Please share a story about you and your country while cooking at you house!
