Soy sauce, a must-have in Japanese cuisine
Soy sauce, also known as “shoyu” in Japan, is a versatile ingredient widely used in Japanese cuisine. It brings flavor and intense umami to dishes. One of the most iconic condiments in Asian gastronomy, it is used in various ways to season, marinate, and enhance a wide variety of culinary preparations. It is ideal for marinades, sushi preparation, seasonings (miso soups, noodle dishes, sauces for vegetables and meat dishes, etc.).
Japanese condiments for a perfect balance on your plate
Japanese condiments are the finishing touch to a variety of dishes! In addition to soy sauce, mirin, and cooking sake are staple seasonings in Japanese cuisine. Sake adds umami and tenderizes meat while masking fish odors. Mirin, the base of teriyaki sauce, brings subtle sweetness to dishes, a glossy glaze, and umami.
In addition to these basic products, several condiments play an essential role in preparing authentic dishes! Wasabi and ginger are indispensable in sushi preparation and can be accompanied by miso. Japanese mayonnaise, famous for its creamy texture and deliciously sweet taste, is a must-have for accompanying various dishes like okonomiyaki. Japanese curry, trendy in recent years, can be prepared from blocks or powder. Sesame seeds, whether black or white, offer crunchiness and a roasted flavor to salads, noodles, and stir-fried dishes. All yuzu-based seasonings bring freshness and a Japanese touch, such as yuzu kosho, yuzu juice, yuzu zest, and more. Finally, diverse toppings like furikake or shichimi togarashi provide a variety of textures and flavors to enhance the taste experience of sushi, rice, or noodles. These captivating Japanese condiments reflect the elegance of Japanese cuisine and invite culinary exploration full of surprises.
