Japanese food registered as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013

Excellent nutritional balance and use of fresh ingredients according to the four seasons

Japanese food with a distinctive beauty.

In addition to its taste and appearance, it was registered because of its closeness to Japanese culture.

Japanese and Westerners serve different dishes

First of all, you may notice that it is very different.

That is how to serve food.

In the West, you drink an aperitif and the appetizer comes out first.

When you finish eating it, the plate will be lowered and the next dish will be delivered.

The order of the dishes to be served is also fixed, and the order cannot be changed.

When you think of Japanese meals, the dishes are served in small bowls and bowls at the same time.

I don't care about the order of eating, I eat a little and move to another dish

You can eat it according to your taste.

Another characteristic of Japanese food is that there are various ways to eat it.

Many Japanese appetizers are seasonal.

Dengaku, tofu, and assorted skewers may be served.

Use chopsticks to remove them from the skewers one by one and eat

The correct way to eat skewers is to cut large pieces into bite-sized pieces and then bring them to your mouth.

Besides this, you can eat tempura and sashimi from light ones.

There are many manners of Japanese food, such as cutting simmered food into bite-sized pieces with chopsticks and eating them.

Japanese food with colorful ingredients that give you a sense of the season

You can enjoy the atmosphere by eating cleanly without breaking the arrangement.

It's also important for those who made it.

Enjoy the beauty of presentation with your eyes

Also, try to eat beautifully so that you can feel the taste of the ingredients one by one.

I thought that it was born from such a Japanese aesthetic sense.

From now on, I would like to keep in mind how to eat a little and try to have a beautiful meal.
