New, novel, now: the very
latest in Japanese food for a springboard for a more direct style of
trend-conscious generation consumer-business communication.
London, U.K.; 1-3 October 2010
Sushi goes pop at Eat-Japan’s latest on-trend event,
bringing Japanese food to untapped consumer segments.
Identifying and defining trends is
the key to success in almost any
industry, and is particularly relevant
to food and drink businesses. EatJapan has been working to ensure
that HYPER JAPAN’s event content
captures the imagination of visitors
by comprehensively researching
consumer interests, trends, and fads.
A recent online sur vey revealed
some unexpected results about the
kind of food that consumers are
making at home, and what they want
to make more of. Our regular focus
groups also allow direct insight into
the minds of target consumer groups;
exhibitors will be able to make use of
this information, particularly crucial
to small and medium businesses, and
tailor stall content accordingly.
The dizzyingly fast pace of trends
is directly connected to the way
people, par ticularly the younger
generation, communicate today:
actively, interactively, and internationally. Companies and events
need to adapt to this new age of
borderless, timeless communication,
and our dedicated event website
and blog will be a platform through
which exhibitors can reach out
to online communities and new
consumers, through viral marketing
and multimedia content. Exhibitors
will be encouraged to target new
consumers through as many different

For the past ten years, Eat-Japan

buyers, chefs and government bodies
to improve awareness of the rich
culinary culture of Japan. And what
a decade; Japan is now a global
culinary powerhouse, and Japanese
restaurants are opening up all over,
but to keep them full the Japanese
food and restaurant industry must
look to the next generation. Japanese
food also has a reputation, sometimes
deserved but certainly not always, for
being both expensive and unusual –
one for the true foodies. But there
is another side to Japanese food
too, more casual, less expensive, and
definitely appealing to a younger

The event will also present multiple

It can only be useful to know the
contexts in which the younger

Japanese food; what food is in which

about – and why? What’s the biggest

to these questions will help shape
marketing strategies geared towards
younger or ‘hipper’ consumers. The
dynamic format of HYPER JAPAN,
incorporating stage shows, dance,
music, competitions and workshops
as well as more standard features,
means that exhibitors have much
more than the usual choice about
how to connect with visitors, and
can develop unique and innovative
approaches to gain invaluable direct
consumer contact; this interactivity is
key to the HYPER JAPAN concept.

MASTERING PROFESSIONAL SUSHI
SKILLS WITH THE WORLD’S BEST
A new qualification from Japan’s leading professional sushi body, designed to
promote international excellence in sushi knowledge, hygiene and skills to rest
on its laurels. Getting the next generation interested is the next step.
All Japan Sushi Association (AJSA)
A unique qualification
presented by a world
authority
“The safe preparation of raw fish,
potentially one of the most dangerous
foods that we consume, is prerequisite
for delicious sushi. This requires
faultless technique and hygiene
awareness”. Tadashi Yamagata is
unequivocal in his response when
asked what he considers to be the
principal aim of the All Japan Sushi
Association (AJSA), Japan’s leading
body for sushi professionals and
the organisation led by him as
President. “The impor tance of
knowledge, hygiene and standards is
what we want to communicate,” he
continues, highlighting an area of
sushi often forgotten in the ar tistry
and showmanship of the cuisine.
And communicate is exactly what
the All Japan Sushi Association
intends to do, with the launch of a
8
brand new qualification, in multiple
stages, designed to ensure that sushi
chefs overseas can benefit from
the hundreds of years of collective
knowledge, history and tradition that
inform sushi chefs in Japan. Executive
Director of the Association Masayoshi
Kazato is another veteran ambassador
of sushi who has travelled the world
giving seminars and demonstrations,
and his contact with thousands of
chefs and enthusiasts overseas has
left him in no doubt that this kind of
qualification will answer the needs
and demands of the burgeoning
international sushi industry.
No other organisation is as well
positioned as the All Japan Sushi
Association to create and oversee
this kind of qualification. With
more than 10,000 members in
Japan, it is uniquely recognised by
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour
and Welfare as a vital professional
body. The organisation holds regular
regional competitions, designed to
encourage sushi chefs to polish their
technical skills, as well as celebrate
the great dexterity that a sushi chef
requires to be outstanding in his field.
The winners are then invited to take
part in the national finals, the All Japan
Technical Skills Sushi Competition,
held once every four years. The
organisation has an active International
Division, dispatching chefs around the
world to assist and assess sushi chefs
overseas; the Eat-Japan Sushi Awards
has benefited from the expertise of
veteran sushi chefs, the Sushi Masters,
ever since the inaugural event.
This international expertise makes
the Association uniquely placed to
understand and adapt to the needs of
an international professional audience.
The Association’s diverse
activities promoting
hygiene and
technical
standards in sushi
make it the subject of
widespread
media attention.
A taste of traditional
Japanese sushi chef
training
In Japan, sushi chefs may spend up to
three years working in a sushi restaurant
without so much as touching the rice;
there is a wealth of tradition and ritual
in becoming a sushi chef in Japan,
based on hundreds of years of practice.
The All Japan Sushi Association’s new
qualification will distil this authentic
heritage into a structured, graded course
that instructs the students on everything
from the correct way to prepare rice –
which is the true heart of sushi – to the
various ways to prepare fish for sushi,
comprehensive training in the diverse
and all-too-real hygiene risks that present
themselves when preparing raw fish,
plating, knife skills, and the management
and customer service that defines the
sushi experience in Japan.
The aims of the course are clear ;
making accessible the vast body of
knowledge on sushi that has, for
far too long, been difficult to obtain
outside Japan. Improving technical
skill and professional capacity
internationally can only be a positive
for the sushi industry. Higher standards,
better preparation, more attractive and
diverse dishes are plus points that will
boost individual businesses; this leads
to overall growth. With the support of
peerless veterans, sushi chefs will grow
in skill and in confidence, leading to
greater achievement in the kitchen, too.
The AJSA will be launching a dedicated
website later this year, where potential
students can get immediate and
detailed access to course content and
requirements. Interested parties can
also get in touch with the AJSA via EatJapan and register to be the first to
receive detailed information. Would-be
participants are also encouraged to use
this opportunity to be proactive in letting
the AJSA know what they feel should
be included in course content; send an
email to info@sushiskills.com outlining
interest, demands and concerns.
The course will
cover the numerous
techniques there are to
prepare and ser ve fish
which enhance taste
as well as minimizing
hygiene risks.

Strategic pan-Asian

We select some of those trade fairs taking place worldwide from September
2010 to August 2011 which look certain to attract Japanese food buyers.
FOODEX JAPAN 2011

An unmissable event for anyone serious about the Japanese and Asian markets;
direct access to industry trend-setters and top power players.
A busy import-export

A peerless trade platform
in the heart of Japan
Communication tools for
effective business
FOODEX JAPAN is a peerless
platform for exhibitors and buyers
looking to tap into the Japanese, Asian
and global markets. The 2010 fair
recorded 73,566 trade-only visitors
over four days, who were free to
browse, network with and buy from
the 2,510 exhibitors from 64 countries
and regions present. Nearly 3,500
booths, showcasing both the latest
trend-focused products and good old
favourites, were spread over almost
30,000 square meters of exhibit space
in Japan’s sprawling Makuhari Messe.
Visitors are well-balanced across the
various food industry sectors, including
distribution and wholesale (25%), food
service (24%), and manufacturing
(23%). 48% of visitors are at senior
or executive management level,
meaning that it really is an unmissable
opportunity to communicate directly
with the people at the top.
FOODEX JAPAN is the principal
trade fair for Japanese and Asian
businesses, and is organised with
a view to maximising networking
opportunities for exhibitors and
visitors alike. Great emphasis is placed
on securing quality as well as volume
in terms of buyers, refining visitor
selection to target professionals at the
forefront of food and drink purchasing.
2010 also saw the upgrade of the
online communication tool, FOODEX
NAVI, where exhibitors could present
detailed descriptions of up to three
key items; the database was made
available on the official FOODEX
JAPAN site. Designed in response to
buyer demand, the database functions
as a key information source in the
decision-making process, and was
accessible before, during and after the
event. A team of Business Conduct
Supporters, members of intermediary
The fair also offers multiple business
matching functions. These include the
coordination of business meetings
with overseas buyers, including
prominent businesses from the
emerging Chinese market.The JETRO
FOODEX Award, organised by the
Japan External Trade Organization
(JETRO), is an internationally focused
award where Japanese products are
evaluated by a panel of American
judges. Comments from the judges
on innovation, taste and quality are an
important source of direct feedback
to Japanese producers, whilst media
participation from world famous titles
such as the New York Times ensures
A burgeoning food
import market
Whilst many markets remain affected
by global economic downturn, Japan’s
food import market has shown
resilience, growing from a total
value of 51.5billion USD in 2007 to
61.8billion USD in 2008, an impressive
20% increase (source: JETRO). Japan
is the world’s largest net importer of
food products, relying on imports for
59% of its food supply (source: MAFF).
Demographic changes in Japanese
society continue to have a strong
bearing on the food industry. Demand
for home-meal replacements and
prepared foods is up, for example, as a
result of an increasing number of oneperson households, compounded
by an increase in the average age of
marriage and a general shift towards
a 24-hour lifestyle. Consumer
awareness of value for money is also
creating demand for new products.
On the other hand, a new market
of baby boomer retirees, many
with substantial disposable income
represents strong opportunities for
high-end and gourmet foods.
Safety and responsibility
in food production
Of particular importance to
Japanese consumers over the past
few years has been the assurance
that food products are produced
with appropriate health and safety
controls in place. FOODEX JAPAN
is the ideal opportunity for exhibitors
to promote such measures. Strong
media presence also means the
possibility of much wider exposure
for products showing particular
innovation in this area. Related to
this is the organic, sustainable and
wellness-oriented food and drink
market, which continues to make its
presence felt.

strong exposure to consumers in the
U.S.A. Other import-export support
functions include the presence of
specialist advisors able to give onthe-spot and tailored advice on issues
relating to customs, quarantine, and
other legislative issues.
FOODEX JAPAN 2011, the 36th
exhibition, will be held concurrently
with the 4th International Conference
for Food Industry (ICFI), which takes the
theme “Co-creation and Cooperation
in Asia”. The conference will focus on
the opportunities available when East
Asia is viewed as a single homogenous
market, and why this approach is key to
achieving success in the food and drink
business in the region. The conference
will comprise dynamic sessions and
panel discussions on issues such as
effective distribution strategies in the
key Chinese market, and maximising
business potential through structured
market cooperation. It represents
an ideal networking opportunity for
executives, managers and directors
in the food industries, where market
insight gained at FOODEX JAPAN can
be immediately applied to strategic
discussion.
Japan is a crucial market, consuming
ever-increasing amounts of imported
food whilst enjoying the export
opportunities that the growing
popularity of Japanese food and drink
creates. FOODEX JAPAN 2011 will
be four days of integrated and intense
showcasing, marketing and networking;
there is no better place to identify,
anticipate and create trends.

a hub of innovation, too; in 2009, there
were 1,200 demonstrations every day,
including 600 presentations of industry
innovations, of which 150 were world
premieres. Sirha is an unrivalled centre
of culinary and catering trends; in 2009,
more than 10,000 chefs from 136

JAPANESE FOOD GLOSSARY
This section details a wide range of essential Japanese ingredients, each complete
with page reference for a list of recommended manufacturers and suppliers.
Alcoholic Drinks
白米 Hakumai
酒 Sake
See p25
Japan’s most celebrated alcoholic drink, sake, is
brewed from fermented rice. Brown rice is polished
to remove its husk, producing the smaller white
rice grains used to make sake. Sake is categorized
according to the degree to which the rice is polished
and alcohol content: junmaishu (pure rice sake),
honjozo (sake with added brewer’s
alcohol), ginjoshu (the highest
grade of sake) and futsushu
(common grades of sake). Sake
is clear with a slightly sweet
taste and an alcohol content of
14 to 16%. It can be served hot
or chilled.
Japonica White Rice
Rice Wine
Hakumai (white rice)
generally refers to polished
short-grain Japonica rice and has
been a staple of the Japanese diet since
ancient times. Forming part of the traditional
Japanese meal combination along with miso soup
and tsukemono, hakumai is a highly nutritious
source of protein, fibre, vitamin B, calcium and
iron. As well as being easier to digest than genmai,
hakumai ’s glutinous texture means that it is easy to
pick up with chopsticks and its mild taste makes it a
perfect accompaniment to almost any food.
See pp27-29
See p31
Beer was first test-brewed in Japan in 1853,
following a Dutch recipe. The country’s first
brewery was established in the 1870s and
beer, especially lager, has since become
very popular as an accompaniment
to Japanese food. Japanese beer
drinkers consider a beer’s kire (literally
“cutting”), or ability to cleanse the
palate, as being particularly important
and major Japanese beers are brewed
for a sharp, clean finish. Since 1994, it
has become easier for smaller breweries
to gain brewing licences and the variety
of original, regional beers has greatly
increased.
ウィスキー Whisky
See p25
Genmai is unpolished brown
rice with the husks removed
but the bran and germ intact.
Slightly nutty tasting and
more chewy than hakumai,
genmai is both delicious
and extremely nutritious,
containing four times
the vitamin B1 and E,
three times the fibre and
twice the vitamin B2 and iron
of hakumai. Going well with almost
any ingredient, genmai can be used as a
substitute for hakumai. Hatsuga genmai, or
germinated genmai, has recently become popular, as
germination increases nutrient levels and makes the
rice more palatable.
餅 Mochi
Rice Cake
Mochi is a sweet
rice cake made by
pounding glutinous
mochigome rice. It is
traditionally grilled and wrapped
in nori, or cooked in soup. One such soup is zoni
(mochi and vegetables), which is eaten to celebrate
New Year. The stickiness of the mochi represents
“sticking to your principles”, making it a good omen
for the coming year. It is also used in many wagashi
(Japanese sweets).
ぬか Nuka
Rice Bran
Nuka is formed during the process of polishing
genmai, and is most commonly used to make
tsukemono. It contains protein, fibre, calcium,
phosphorous, iron and vitamins A, B1 and B2.
Its alkaline quality is effective in the regeneration
of skin, making it an excellent beauty product.
The fibre content can help remove cancer-causing
elements by discharging toxins from the body. It
is beneficial in treating diabetes, reducing blood
cholesterol rates and
preventing sclerosis
of the arteries.
焼酎 Shochu
Japanese Clear Spirit
See pp30-31
Fashionable in Japan in recent years and gaining
popularity worldwide, shochu can be made from
ingredients such as rice, buckwheat, wheat, sweet
potato and corn. As in the making of sake, soy sauce,
and miso, during initial fermentation a ‘starter’ called
koji is used. The single distillation method used to
make traditional shochu keeps more
of the flavour of its ingredients
while the multiple distillation
method is suited to making
cocktails and fruit liquor. Shochu
contains no fat or sugar and is
good drunk mixed in cocktails or
on its own.
泡盛 Awamori
Okinawan Rice Spirit
Awamori is an alcoholic beverage produced in
the southern islands of Okinawa. Although made
from rice, it differs from sake in that it is distilled
not brewed, and uses Thai Indica rice rather than
short-grained Japonica rice. The method for distilling
awamori was first introduced to Okinawa
from Thailand in the 15th century,
and was refined using a unique
white koji mould indigenous
to Okinawa. Awamori is an
extremely robust drink, and can
be 60% proof, with its alcohol
content rising further as it ages.
梅酒 Umeshu
Japanese Apricot Liqueur See p33
Umeshu, with its subtle sweet flavour, has been
consumed for over a millennium in Japan. This
liqueur is made from ume, an apricot-like fruit with
a high concentration of citric acid. Ume
are mixed with shochu and sugar and left
to mature for between three months to
one year. Ume’s healthy properties make
umeshu popular not only as a delicious
drink, but also as a medicine. Ume are
rich in potassium, calcium and fruit acids,
which aid digestion, break down lactic
acid and are said to increase the body’s
metabolic rate and reduce tiredness.
While using fundamentally the same ingredients
and methods as in the West, Japanese whisky is
made to accompany Japanese-style meals. While
Scotch whisky, with its smoky flavour and strong
peat taste, is better savoured
on its own, Japanese whisky
goes well with food. Particular
importance is attached to the
harmonised balance of the basic
flavour, which is not diminished
when diluted, and a subtlety of
taste suited to the Japanese palate
that does not mask the delicate
flavours of Japanese food.
ワイン Wine
Japanese Wine
See p33
Wine production only really began in Japan after
the Meiji Restoration of 1868 made
Japan more open to Western ideas,
and the first commercial winery was
established in 1877. At first sight, the
high humidity and rainfall of Japan’s
climate and its acidic soil do not make
it ideal for viticulture. However, in
spite of this vineyards have flourished in
areas where conditions have been suitable,
such as Yamanashi prefecture. The northern
island of Hokkaido has also gained a good
reputation for its wines.
味噌 Miso
See pp34-35
Many other popular varieties of Japanese tea exist.
Genmaicha (green tea mixed with roasted brown
rice) is mild with a distinctive popcorn flavour.
The most widely-drunk sencha is made from the
coarser tea leaves harvested late in the season and
is known as bancha. It is sweet and smooth to
drink. Hojicha, made by roasting bancha leaves
over charcoal, is low in caffeine and tannins, while
matcha, the bright green powdered tea used in the
tea ceremony, is made from a special variety of tea
called tencha.
甘酒 Amazake
Sweet Rice Drink
See p35
Although amazake translates
literally into English as “sweet
sake”, it is in fact an alcohol
free product, made from
cooked rice and koji.
The koji converts the
rice into simple natural
sugars, giving amazake
its naturally sweet taste. In
Japan, thick, creamy amazake is
usually enjoyed combined with equal
parts of water and gently heated, often served
topped with ginger. In the West, it has been
become popular as a dairy substitute in baking
and puddings, and can also be used straight from
the jar as a topping for nuts, fruit or yoghurt.
Condiments, Seasonings & Sauces
醤油
Shoyu
だし Dashi
Fermented Soy Bean Paste
Japanese Soup Stock
See p39 & p41
Many Japanese swear by the old saying that, “a
bowl of miso soup a day keeps the doctor away”.
Miso is made from soy beans and usually rice or
barley, which are steamed, mixed with koji (a
fermentation starter) and left to ferment for six
months to five years. The longer the
fermentation, the darker and richer
the miso. Modern analysis shows
that miso is an extremely
nourishing and wellbalanced food containing
protein, vitamins and
essential amino acids.
Most famously
used in soups, it can
add flavour to many
dishes.
酢 / すし酢 Su / Sushizu
Rice Vinegar / Sushi Vinegar See p43
Made from rice, this light and mild tasting vinegar is
an essential ingredient in sushi rice and sunomono
(vinegared salads). With lower acidity than Western
vinegars, it has long been associated with youthfullooking skin and longevity. Vinegar increases the
potency of vitamin C, which improves complexion,
and in the past su was used
in cosmetics in Japan.
Vinegar is also known
for its anti-bacterial
properties and this is
one reason why su is
often used in Japanese
dishes that include raw fish,
seafood and meat.
Dashi is one of the stocks which form the basis of
almost all Japanese cooking. Dashi is commonly
made by heating katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes),
kombu (kelp), shiitake mushroom or iriko
(sardine) and draining off the resultant
broth. It is used for flavouring dishes such
as soups, nabe (hot pots), sauces and rice
dishes. Dashi in easy-to-mix powdered
form is very popular as it can be used
to produce authentic-tasting
Japanese cuisine without the
effort that making stock from
scratch entails.
ソース Sauce
Japanese Sauces
See p45
The Japanese use a variety of savoury sauces to pep
up their food. Several are inspired by Worcester
sauce, which was brought to Japan and adapted.
As well as the thin, spicy Worcester sauce, there is
a thicker, milder and sweeter tonkatsu sauce, often
used with the deep fried pork cutlet dish of the
same name. In addition, there is a sauce formulated
specifically for serving with o-konomiyaki (savoury
pancakes), and a chuno sauce that blends both mild
and spicy flavours.
味醂 Mirin
Soy Sauce Sweet Cooking Alcohol
See pp36-37
A sweet, syrupy liquid, mirin is one of Japan’s
principal condiments. It has an alcohol content
of about 13-14%, which is often burnt off during
cooking. Mirin has a subtle natural sweetness,
and its balanced flavour make it a very versatile
condiment. Mirin is used for dishes such as nimono
(simmered dishes), for marinating and glazing, and
in teriyaki sauce. As well as hon
mirin or ‘real mirin’,
cheaper mirin
style condiments
with salt or other
ingredients added,
and generally less
alcohol, are also
available.
A staple of
Oriental cuisine,
soy sauce adds flavour
to many dishes, both in cooking and at the
table. Made from soy beans, wheat and salt, and
fermented for several months, Japanese soy sauce
has a rich aroma and a salty, subtle and complex
flavour. Koikuchi shoyu, developed in the east
of Japan, is dark coloured with a slightly fruity
flavour that reduces fishy and meaty smells in
cooking. Usukuchi shoyu, originally favoured in
the west of Japan, has a lighter colour and saltier
taste than koikuchi.
See p43
たれ Tare
Dipping / Marinade Sauces
There are many dipping sauces used in Japanese
dishes. Yakiniku no tare (barbecue sauce) is made
from soy sauce, fruits, vegetables, sesame oil, herbs
and spices. It can be used both for dipping and
marinating. Sukiyaki no tare, a mildly sweet sauce,
is made from soy sauce, mirin, sugar and dashi, and
used to stew sukiyaki ingredients. Shabu shabu no
tare, a dipping sauce used for lightly
cooked and thinly sliced meats,
comes in several varieties.
Teriyaki marinade, featuring
mirin, soy sauce and dashi, is
also popular.

その他のお茶 O-cha
See pp34-35
Ryokucha is produced from green tea leaves that are
steamed and dried but not fermented. The quality of
ryokucha varies according to which part of the plant
is picked, with the highest quality ryokucha known as
gyokuro and medium-quality ryokucha called sencha.
The leaves produce a greenish-yellow tea with a slightly
bitter flavour. The tannin in ryokucha serves to fight
tooth decay. Ryokucha also contains caffeine and
vitamin C and is said to be effective against diabetes,
high blood pressure and in reducing cholesterol levels.
liquid which comes from
fermenting soy beans.
Tamari is thicker, richer
and darker than soy sauce
and is produced mainly in
the central Chubu region
of Japan. Little or no wheat is
used in the production of tamari,
which is actually closer to the original recipe for
soy sauce, when it was introduced to Japan from
China. An ideal, umami-rich accompaniment to
sushi and sashimi, tamari has a mellow flavour
and is used mainly for dipping, seasoning and for
marinades.
料理酒 Ryorishu
Cooking Sake
Ryorishu is a type of sake (rice wine) made especially
for cooking. It is often used in marinades for meat
and fish to make them more tender, as well as to
mask their smell. In cooking, it is often used to
add body and flavour to tsuyu (soup stock) and
sauces, or to make nimono (simmered dishes) and
yakimono (grilled dishes). To
enable shops not licensed
to sell alcohol to stock it,
manufacturers are required
by law to add salt (2-3%)
to ryorishu to make it
unfit for drinking.
ポン酢 Ponzu
Citrus Vinegar
See p43
Ponzu is derived from the Dutch word “pons”, which
means citrus juice. Ponzu is the juice of fruit such as
lemon, sudachi, yuzu and kabosu, sometimes mixed
with su (vinegar). It has a refreshing taste and is also a
good stimulant, since the acid found in ponzu breaks
down fat and lactic acids, which cause fatigue. Ponzu
is most commonly used as ponzu
shoyu, a mix of ponzu, soy
sauce, sugar or mirin and
dashi. This can be used as
a dipping sauce for nabe
(hot pots).
17
ドレッシング Dressing
Japanese Salad Dressings See p45
Japanese cuisine is full of examples of new greattasting foods that have been invented by adapting
the food of other nations. Japanese salad dressings
are particularly good examples of this. Made from
ingredients such as soy sauce, sesame oil and seeds,
shiso, umeboshi, yuzu, and dashi, these
dressings perfectly complement salads
containing Japanese ingredients
such as tofu, seaweed,
konnyaku,
daikon radish
and sashimi.
わさび
Wasabi
Japanese Horseradish
Soy & Other Bean Products
See p46
Wasabi is a root plant with a pleasant aroma and
a sharp, fiery flavour. In early 17th century Japan,
it became a popular accompaniment to sushi,
promoting the spread of its cultivation. Wasabi is
available fresh, and can be grated like horseradish,
as a paste or in powder form. It is also mixed with
soy sauce and used as a condiment with sashimi
and sushi. When used for seasoning, wasabi
stimulates the appetite and is also known to prevent
food poisoning.

Gyosho
Fish Sauce
See p37
Gyosho is a condiment rich in
glutamic acid and other nutrients
extracted from fish and seafood. The use of animal
protein as flavour enhancers can be traced back
to ancient China and glutamic acid is the basis
of umami found in foods such as kombu (kelp).
Traditionally used in cooking, gyosho is increasingly
found in processed foods such as sauces and dips
and manufacturers are expanding in line with its
worldwide popularity.
麺つゆ / 天つゆ
Mentsuyu / Tentsuyu
Soup for Noodles / Tempura
Mentsuyu, the strong, salty soup stock used in
soba and udon noodle dishes, and tentsuyu, the
dipping sauce for tempura, are made from dashi,
katsuobushi, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. There
are two basic types of mentsuyu: kaketsuyu,
which is poured hot over boiled noodles to make
noodle soup, and tsuketsuyu, which literally means
“dipping soup” and is used as a dip for chilled
noodles. Tentsuyu is left to cool before being served,
accompanied by grated
daikon radish, with freshly
fried tempura.
18
Japanese Mustard
Made from the seeds of the karashina plant, karashi
was used in ancient times as a medicine as well as
a food. Bright yellow in colour, karashi is available
in both paste and powder forms, and is used to add
spiciness and flavour to natto, shumai (Chinese
dumplings), o-den (a kind of Japanese hot pot)
and salad dressings. Karashi is similar in nature
to wasabi, meaning the intensity of its flavour is
greater than that of Western mustard, and it is
therefore used in very small quantities.
七味 / 一味唐辛子
Shichimi / Ichimi Togarashi
Fermented Soy Beans
Natto is made from fermented soy beans and has
a sticky consistency and a strong characteristic
fermented smell. An excellent source of protein,
vitamin B2, iron and fibre, natto is often mixed
with soy sauce and other ingredients and eaten with
boiled rice as a traditional and nutritious breakfast
food. Natto comes in whole-bean, small-bean and
chopped-bean varieties, and contains an amino
acid not found in other
foods that helps prevent
blood clots, which
can cause strokes and
coronaries.
豆腐 Tofu
Soy Bean Curd
See p41
Tofu is made from ground soy beans, which are
heated, filtered and hardened into evenly-sized
squares, with the addition of a gelling agent, nigari.
Tofu comes in three basic types: kinugoshidofu
(silk strained tofu), the original Japanese tofu,
fine textured and eaten raw; momendofu (cotton
strained tofu), which is rougher in texture; and
yosedofu (crumbled tofu), which is not formed into
blocks but is mashed in appearance. An extremely
nutritious food containing vegetable
protein, calcium, iron and vitamin
E, tofu is delicious in miso
soup, hot pots and
stir-fries.
Japanese Pepper
Unique to Japan and China, sansho is unrelated to
black pepper or chilli pepper. It has a strong aroma,
subtle lemony overtones and creates a pleasant tingling
sensation in the mouth. Sansho is widely used to add
a mild spiciness and rich fragrance to noodle dishes
and grilled eel. The buds,
flowers and seeds of sansho
are all used to flavour
cooking. The leaves of the
sansho plant, known as
kinome, are used
in spring to
add flavour to
bamboo shoots
and soups.
Dried Seafood
Soy Milk
See p35
Hijiki is a porous, black seaweed with a surface
that is less viscous but has more texture than other
seaweeds. It is normally sold dried and should
be reconstituted with water before use. Hijiki
contains a lot of calcium and fibre. It also contains
a high level of iron. Hijiki is normally simmered
with chopped vegetables such
as carrots, fried tofu and
beans, and seasoned
with soy sauce and
mirin, and served
as a tasty side dish.
Himono literally means “dried things”, but it
Soy milk is the liquid
obtained by grinding soy beans before they
harden into tofu. Soy milk has always existed as
a by-product of tofu but its processing has since
been greatly improved and specialist manufacturers
are now producing delicious soy milk without
its disagreeable smell. Soy milk products contain
soy bean solids and therefore protein. Soy milk
products refer to the variety of flavoured soy milk
drinks, as well as plain and processed soy milk.
湯葉 Yuba
昆布 Kombu
Soy Milk Skin
Common in both China and Japan, yuba is made
using the protein-rich skin which forms when soy
milk is boiled. This skin is cooled and is then either
eaten fresh, or dried. The texture of yuba means
that when layers of it are put together, it makes an
ideal meat substitute in vegetarian cooking. Yuba is
a mainstay of Zen Buddhist shojin ryori
(traditional meat-free cuisine) and has
had a reputation for centuries for
being an extremely healthy
and nutritious food.
Bittern
Nigari is the coagulant or curdling agent used to
make tofu. Nigari originally refers to bittern or the
residue, mostly magnesium chloride, of traditionally
processed sea salt which was used in tofu-making.
As bittern becomes less readily available, it can be
replaced by chemical coagulants; however, recently
there has been a renewed interest in natural bittern
and many manufacturers
will not use chemical
alternatives in their
products.
豆腐製品
Tofu Products
Tofu Products
Tofu’s mild taste makes it very versatile. Abura-age
is thinly sliced tofu fried in oil twice to keep the
tofu’s original texture on the inside while the outer
skin becomes crisp. It is used to make inarizushi
(sweetened and cooked abura-age filled with sushi
rice). Atsuage are strips of tofu deep-fried just once
while ganmodoki is a fried tofu dumpling made with
vegetables and sesame seeds. Koyadofu is freeze-dried
tofu which, once rehydrated, has a coarse, meaty
texture and a richer taste
than standard tofu.
Kelp
See p47
Kombu is one of the main basic dashi ingredients.
To make good stock, simply soak kombu in water,
or heat gently in water and remove just before
boiling. To make dashi, kombu is washed with
seawater and dried in the sun for one to two days.
Kombu is rich in vitamins and minerals such as
iodine. Kombu is also used in a variety of dishes
such as nabe (hot pot), kobumaki (rolled kombu)
and tsukudani
(salted and
sweetened
preserved
foods).
commonly refers to dried seafood, which generally
contains more calcium, phosphorous, iron and
potassium than raw seafood. Popular himono
includes sardine, horse mackerel and especially
squid, which is known as surume. There are
numerous ways to make himono : maruboshi refers
to fish that are dried after being soaked in salt
water. Mirinboshi refers to seafood that is dried
after being soaked in mirin. Himono is served as a
popular traditional breakfast.
野菜 Yasai
Japanese Vegetables
Many varieties of Japanese
green vegetables are cultivated
in winter and spring as they
are vulnerable to the intense
heat of summer. These include the
carotene and vitamin C rich hakusai
(Chinese cabbage) and komatsuna (mustard spinach).
Japanese root vegetables are rich in vitamins and
fibre, and include daikon radish and renkon (lotus
root). Other popular vegetables include kabocha
(pumpkin), yamaimo (yam) and negi (Welsh onion).
These vegetables are used in a huge range of Japanese
cuisine, from tempura to nabe (hot pots), and are also
often enjoyed pickled.

is also popular, and nori and seasoned nori are
available in individually wrapped, bite-sized
sheets and served at breakfast
in the home or at
traditional
Japanese inns

rich in vitamin B1,
which helps combat
mental fatigue, and
calcium.
To make katsuobushi,
bonito fish fillets are salted
and left to ferment and
dry for four to six months
before being shaved into
fine flakes. Katsuobushi
is often used to make dashi.
Kombu is heated in water on a medium heat then
removed just before boiling. Katsuobushi is then
added to the stock, which is brought to the boil
and strained. Katsuobushi is also used as a topping
for salads, tofu and cooked vegetables. There are
varieties of finely sliced katsuobushi made especially
to be used as garnishes.

This dark green seaweed, with its mild ocean
flavour, is one of the most popular seaweeds in
Japan. Available in both dry and fresh forms,
it is most commonly used in soups and salads.
The dried product greatly expands when it’s
reconstituted either by soaking in water for a
few minutes or adding directly to a soup. Since
wakame has no calories, it is
ideal for those who are
watching their weight
and is believed to help
prevent hair loss.
Niboshi, sometimes known as iriko, are small fish
such as anchovy and sardine that have been boiled
and dried. They are used as a dashi ingredient for
miso soup and stewed dishes. To make niboshi
dashi, first the heads and internal organs of the
niboshi are removed to avoid bitter and fishysmelling stock. Then, to bring out their taste, the
niboshi are split lengthwise, before being soaked
in water. The pre-soaked niboshi can then be put
into water, boiled for two to three
minutes before straining. It
is also eaten as a
healthy snack.
Japanese herbs such as shiso are used
to add an aromatic finish to various
dishes, and tend to be used more
sparingly than in Western cuisine.
Asatsuki (Japanese chives) and nira
(Chinese chives) are used to reduce
the odour of raw meat and fish, and
also have high nutritional value.
Edible wild plants like fuki and udo
and, in particular, takenoko (bamboo
sprouts) are widely loved in Japan
as they mark the advent of spring
and are used in a large number of
seasonal dishes and delicacies.
椎茸 / 干し椎茸
Shiitake / Hoshi Shiitake
Shiitake / Dried Shiitake Mushroom
Japan’s most well-known mushroom is the delicious
shiitake. This flavoursome, slightly chewy mushroom
is believed to have many properties beneficial to the
health and contains significant quantities of vitamins
B and D. Shiitake is popular fresh and in its dried
form, known in Japanese as hoshi shiitake, which
must be rehydrated before eating. Some consider
this to be richer in flavour than fresh shiitake. The
mushroom can be used in clear soup and nimono
(simmered dishes), and dried
shiitake is used as a
base for making
vegetarian dashi.

Japanese Fruit
Although the mikan (satsuma) was introduced
to the West via Japan, many of the most
commonly enjoyed fruits in Japan are
relatively unknown outside Asia. The
zest and juice of the citrus fruits
yuzu and sudachi are indispensable
in adding a sharp, tangy flavour to
Japanese cuisine. With their applelike, crisp flesh, nashi pears are quite distinct
from Western pears. Kaki (persimmon) and biwa
(loquat) are both healthy and delicious while
kuri (chestnuts) and ginnan (gingko nuts) are
used in many dishes and snacks.
ガリ Gari
Pickled Ginger
See p46
Gari is prepared by taking thin slivers of ginger
root and then pickling them in plum vinegar, giving
it a slightly sweet taste, striking pink colour and a
pungent aroma. It is most commonly eaten with
sushi, for which it is an essential accompaniment.
This is not only because of its antibacterial qualities,
which make it ideal for eating
with raw fish, but also
for its effectiveness in
cleansing and refreshing
the palate between
dishes, allowing the taste
of the fish to be fully
appreciated.

かんぴょう Kanpyo
Gourd Shavings
gourds which have been shaved into ribbons then
dried. With large amounts of iron, phosphorous
and calcium, kanpyo is a nutritionally well-balanced
food. In order to prepare it, kanpyo should be
washed, rubbed and softened with a spoonful
of salt, then soaked in fresh water
for a few minutes. It should
then be boiled for
several minutes or
simmered in stock to
add flavour. It is used
in many dishes including
makizushi (rolled sushi).

Devil’s Tongue Jelly /
Konnyaku Noodles
Konnyaku is a hard jelly made from the starch of
the root of the bulb of the devil’s tongue plant.
Shirataki noodles are made from shredded konnyaku.
Konnyaku is 97% water, rich in minerals such as
potassium and calcium and an excellent
source of dietary fibre. With no
distinctive taste, konnyaku and
shirataki absorb the flavour and
taste of the other ingredients
they are cooked with. As they
have next to no calories,
they make ideal foods for
those who are watching
their weight.

梅干し Umeboshi
Pickled Japanese Apricot
Sun-dried, salted, then pickled with shiso (red
perilla leaves), umeboshi is a common everyday
breakfast pickle in Japan, eaten with rice and miso
soup. Loved in Japan both for its piquant taste
and its medicinal properties, umeboshi is said to
be extremely beneficial to the digestive system.
Delicious rice balls can be made by
enclosing umeboshi in rice and
wrapping it in nori seaweed.
Umeboshi can also be used
in a range of other dishes, in
alcoholic drinks, and also as a
wonderful palate-cleanser.
うどん Udon
即席袋麺 / カップ麺
Sokuseki Fukuromen /

Wheat Noodles
Thick and chewy, udon
noodles are made from
wheat flour kneaded with
salt and water. Their texture
can be adapted according to taste
by varying the cooking time, and they
are usually served in a hot broth, together with
ingredients like prawn tempura, abura-age, raw
egg or vegetables. They can also be served cold with
a dipping sauce. There is also a flattened variety
of udon called kishimen from the Nagoya region.
Udon is available in dried, fresh or pre-boiled form.
See p46
Buckwheat Noodles
Takuan is made by pickling daikon, the large white
Japanese radish, in rice bran. Usually served in small
slices, takuan has a satisfyingly crunchy texture and
sharp, tangy flavour, and accompanies many Japanese
foods, often as one of a number of small dishes along
with miso soup and rice. Beneficial to health, takuan
is very rich in vitamin B. It is
one of the most traditional
of Japanese pickles and is
named after the Buddhist
priest who is said to have
introduced the food.
その他の漬け物
Tsukemono
Other Japanese Pickles
Tsukemono are a cornerstone of the Japanese diet,
and common vegetables used include cucumbers
and Chinese cabbage. Salt used in the pickling
process helps the water in the vegetables to seep out,
creating the characteristic texture of tsukemono. One
of the most popular ways to enjoy tsukemono is as
a garnish served with Japanese curry, in particular
pickled rakkyo (scallions), which have a crisp texture,
and fukujinzuke, a mix of various pickled and
finely-chopped vegetables such as radish, aubergine,
cucumber and lotus root mixed with soy
sauce and spices.
佃煮 Tsukudani
Preserved Seafood
Soba noodles are made
from buckwheat
flour. As buckwheat
contains no gluten,
wheat flour is usually
added to prevent the
noodles from falling
apart, although 100%
buckwheat varieties are
available. Soba comes in
fresh and dried form, and can be eaten either hot
in soup or chilled and served on a bamboo tray
called a zaru, with a dipping sauce called mentsuyu.
Chilled soba are often garnished with nori seaweed
and eaten with wasabi horseradish to add a sharp,
pungent flavour.

Instant Noodles / Cup Noodles
Instant noodles are available in single-portion bags
(sokuseki fukuromen), packaged with sachets of soup

(sokuseki kappumen). The most popular variety
of instant noodle is ramen, coming in
flavours including miso, pork,
and seafood. Cup noodles
are also available containing
soba and udon noodles. Instant
and cup noodles are particularly
popular as a light and easy lunch for
busy people, and can even make a satisfying main
meal when combined with other ingredients.
即席みそ汁 / 吸物
Sokuseki Misoshiru /
Suimono
Instant Miso Soup / Broth See p41
Instant misoshiru (miso soup), prepared by adding
boiling water, is a convenient way of enjoying this
nutritious soy bean paste. A pack of instant miso soup
usually contains miso paste or powder and separate
dried ingredients such as tofu, abura-age, wakame
and vegetables. Suimono is a delicate transparent
Japanese soup based on dashi ; its mild flavour allows
the taste and aroma of the
ingredients to be appreciated.
Popular ingredients include
matsutake mushroom, sea
bream and egg. Difficult to
make from scratch, instant
suimono is a popular option.
Thin Wheat Noodles
Made from wheat flour kneaded with salt and water,
somen noodles are the thinnest Japanese
noodle – just under 1.3 millimeters
thick when uncooked. When
they are thicker than this, they
are known as hiyamugi. It is
thought that somen acquire
a better texture when dried
and allowed to mature for
up to three years. Somen and
hiyamugi are commonly
eaten cold, especially in
summer, together with a
dipping sauce and garnishes
such as grated ginger and
spring onion. They are also
eaten hot in broth (nyumen).
Chukamen
Tsukudani is traditionally made from seaweed and
Chinese Noodles
possesses a potent flavour. It is usually eaten in small
quantities with a bowl of boiled rice. It originates
from Tsukudajima Island, Tokyo, where it was first
made in the Edo era but is now eaten across Japan.
The seaweed is cooked, with soy sauce used in the
process along with mirin and dashi which help
preserve the ingredients naturally for 2 to 3 months.
Nowadays, there are many variations,
which are made from small
fish and shellfish.
Chukamen noodles are normally made from wheat
flour kneaded together with egg, salt and a special
kind of carbonated water. The noodles come in
different styles, the most common being long and
cylindrical, but there are also curled and flattened
varieties. Chukamen are most commonly served in
soup in the hugely popular dish ramen, which has
three basic flavours: soy sauce, salt
and miso. Ingredients such as
pork, fried vegetables and
seaweed are often added.
Chinese noodles are also
served cold in summer in a
dish called hiyashi chuka.

But even so, ready-to-eat rice has
become quite popular, especially
among young people. The most popular
form of ready-cooked rice can be stored
at room temperature, and is pre-cooked and
pre-packaged for microwave heating. Simple o-kayu
rice porridge and the risotto-like zosui are available
in sachet form, ready to eat after being boiled in the
bag for a few minutes.

Dogtooth Violet Starch
Sushi Rice Premix
Premixed sushi rice products are a very convenient
and useful way to prepare just the right kind of
rice for those who want to make sushi at home. To
make authentic sushi rice, all the ingredients added
have to be in just the right proportions, so using a
pre-prepared mix is a far easier option. It is available
in powdered form or as a vacuum-packed liquid.
Premixes of gomoku chirashi-zushi (sushi rice
mixed with various vegetables) are also available.
カレールー / シチュールー
Taken from the dogtooth violet plant, katakuriko is
a white powder without any taste or smell, used to
thicken soups and sauces. Another way of utilising
katakuriko is to mix it with spices and lightly
sprinkle it over pieces of chicken or other ingredients
before frying them. A very versatile foodstuff,
katakuriko helps keep the nutrients and the taste
of the ingredients in the food. Nowadays, potato
starch or cornstarch are often
used as a substitute for
katakuriko, since
natural dogtooth
violet starch has
become very expensive.
Curry / Stew Roux
Japanese Curry / Stew Roux
Introduced to the country by British traders in the
19th century, curry and rice has become a firm
favourite in Japan. It is usually made by frying
and boiling the meat and vegetables then adding
a premixed curry roux. There are
many varieties of roux, ranging
from mild to very spicy.
Two kinds of roux can be
mixed in order to get the
desired flavour. Pre-cooked
vacuum-packed curries
with meat and vegetables are
an even easier option.
Similarly, there are
roux for stews, as well
as convenient precooked packet forms.
パン粉 Panko
Breadcrumbs
See p47
Japanese breadcrumbs, known as panko, are popular
throughout Asia, and thought to be lighter and
fluffier than European breadcrumbs – likely because
bread crusts are not used to make panko – giving
finished dishes a distinctive, airy crunch, thanks to
the fact that panko does not absorb as much oil as
ordinary breadcrumbs. Panko is a crucial ingredient
for the popular tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet), and
can be used to coat chicken,
fish and vegetables
before frying. Panko
is also a great
binding agent for
fishcakes.

flat in shape, and are fried or traditionally baked over
charcoal, giving them their distinctive aroma. Senbei
can be salted, flavoured with soy sauce or
shrimp, sesame-coated, baked with
soy beans or nuts inside, sugarpuffed or wrapped in seaweed
(norimaki ). Arare are smaller
bite-sized versions of senbei,
made from glutinous rice. They
too come in a variety of flavours
and colours.

天ぷら粉 Tempurako
Seasoned Rice Premix
Tempura Flour
One of the most popular ways to enjoy rice is
to make takikomi gohan (literally “boiled with
rice”), where the rice is cooked along with assorted
vegetables and sometimes meat or seafood. Popular
ingredients include takenoko (bamboo shoots), kuri
chestnuts and matsutake mushrooms. A convenient
way of enjoying the dish is to use one of the large
variety of premixed takikomi gohan,
which are available in dried or
vacuum-packed form
along with
many kinds of
added ingredients.
Made from wheat flour, baking powder, powdered
egg and other ingredients, tempura flour is made into
a batter to produce the wonderfully crispy Japanese
fritters known as tempura. Since it is difficult to
make perfect tempura, it is easier to use a premix.
Tempurako gives tempura its unique crispy texture
and retains the flavour of the ingredients it coats
such as prawns, aubergine and shiitake mushrooms.
Although tempurako is made for
tempura, it can also be used
for o-konomiyaki (savoury
pancakes) to add a lighter
texture.
See p47
Wagashi are traditional confectionery, considered
delicacies in Japan. The making of wagashi is a fine
art, as their shape and design are as important as their
taste. An integral part of the traditional Japanese tea
ceremony, each wagashi often represents one of the
seasons or a locality. They contain local and seasonal
ingredients such as fruit and vegetables. Wagashi
can be steamed, baked or made from jelly; there are
also half-dried and dried varieties, which keep for
longer. Using natural ingredients, wagashi are said
to be healthier than the
average sweet.

chemical-free rice and the soft snow melt water from the

are superb examples of Kimoto sake and have won high praise
worldwide. They are used at important international events
such as the G8 (Japan, 2008). Kimoto sake possesses a wealth
of savoury flavour constituents and therefore excellent food

This is Hakutsuru’s signature sake, brewed using traditional
techniques developed and refined over the last 260 years.
Junmai Excellent is characterised by its well-matured, full-bodied
taste and mellow tones. Its levels of dryness and sweetness
vary depending on serving temperature, so it is suitable for
accompanying a range of cuisine. If served hot, it suits salty or rich
dishes, such as tempura, sukiyaki, tofu dishes or nabe hot pots,
whereas cold it is ideal with sushi, sashimi and other fresh dishes.

Gekkeikan Traditional Sake
Chikurin
Urakasumi Sake
The secret to the wonderfully soft, smooth sake produced by the
Gassan Brewery is the purity of the local water that bubbles up at
the Mt. Gassan foothills. This spring has been deemed one of Japan’s
best water sources, and contains optimal levels of carbon dioxide,
oxygen and minerals for outstanding sake. Surrounded by beech
forest, the brewery made its first products over 300 years ago, and is a
much-loved local brewery to this day. Elegant and well-rounded on the
palate, this sake is a real find; a truly historic local drink that distils the
grandeur of the surrounding nature into every delicious drop.
Founded in 1637, Gekkeikan brews premium sake in the
ancient capital of Kyoto with a spirit of both tradition and
innovation. As one of Japan’s top sake brewers, Gekkeikan
has long been a favourite in Japanese households and is now
finding favour with consumers in international markets. Brewed
in Kyoto and California, Gekkeikan Traditional Sake is naturally
brewed with quality japonica rice and contains no added
sulfites. This sake can be served at roomed temperature, chilled
or over ice. If warmed, it may be best heated to 40-50°C (104122°F) but should never be served as a hot beverage like tea.
Chikurin sake is made from rice that has gone through a unique
process called san’o: the rice is left to wither 3 times before
harvesting, producing first-class sake rice. The brewery is located
within an officially designated sake rice-growing region, and was
the first to be fully organic in its production. There are four blends,
the most recent of which is Organic Chikurin Karoyaka. This sake,
which has a lovely soft finish on the palate, was the first blend
developed after the brewery achieved full organic accreditation in
2007, and in 2009 achieved USDA NOP accreditation.
Both soft, refreshing Junmai Urakasumi and the light, crisp
Junmai Ginjo Urakasumi Zen (premium sake where the rice has
been highly polished) are brewed slowly at low temperatures,
using Saura’s unique yeast. This careful process allows the sake
to develop the elegant fragrance and soft taste that characterises
the brand. Both are excellent accompaniments to fish and
other dishes, their subtle, balanced flavour enhancing any meal.
The Junmai Ginjo box and label are decorated with zenga, ink
paintings inspired by zen philosophy. Both sake can be enjoyed
either chilled, at room temperature, or slightly warmed.

Hakkaisan Sake
Jalux Sake from Okayama Pref.
Hideyoshi Sake
Founded in 1922, Hakkaisan is situated at the foot of Mount
Hakkai in Niigata and uses spring water that flows from the
mountain to produce its sake. The guiding principles of the
brewery are to produce the finest light sake of which people
will never tire, and to apply the highest standards of daiginjo
production to all its sake. In order to achieve the smooth and
wonderfully pure and mellow flavours of Hakkaisan's sake, the
brewery insists on producing in small batches, using hand-made
koji mould and slow fermentation at low temperatures.
Okayama Prefecture, blessed with a favourable climate and
fresh water, is one of Japan’s foremost areas for rice production.

Fujii-shuzo Shochu Range
Tanabata
Asahi Super Dry & Asahi Black
Carefully distilled according to traditional methods using only
authentic Japanese ingredients, Tokiwa is a premium rice
shochu. With 25% abv it tastes clean and dry to the palate with
subtle hints of lime, peach and lychee. Tokiwa can be enjoyed
over ice, with a meal or as a digestif, but also makes a perfect
cocktail ingredient. To make chuhai pour 50ml Akashi-Tai
Tokiwa in a glass with ice and top up with grapefruit juice or
green tea.
The Fujii-shuzo has a stunning range of character-full shochu to
suit any taste. Fushigiya barley shochu is an award-winning blend,
robust with a distinct aroma. Bungo no Sato is the brewery’s
premium blend, an organic barley shochu, mellow and complex;
a cellar-aged version is available in a striking ceramic bottle. The
same finest quality water and koji are used in potato shochu,
such as the outstanding Nomichore, bottled in both glass and
ceramic. Careful cellar-aging makes this gently sweet, mellow
shochu an eminently drinkable and versatile choice.
The Tasaki Distillery, established in 1888, is located in an area
famed for the purity of its water. Since then it has built up a
reputation for making outstanding shochu from this natural
water and locally grown sweet potatoes of the highest quality.
The distillery excels at maturing shochu, resulting in a rich
aroma and complex flavour, using traditional methods passed
down faithfully through the ages. Tanabata is a particularly
special shochu, rich with the natural sweetness of the potatoes,
smooth on the palate, with an elegant and rounded finish.
Asahi has been brewing beer in Japan since 1889 and is
renowned for its pursuit of excellence and pioneering spirit.
Asahi means rising sun in Japanese and Asahi Super Dry is the
best selling beer brand in Japan. Asahi Super Dry is brewed
to an authentic Japanese recipe using only the finest natural
ingredients. This clean, crisp and refreshing taste is absolutely
perfect with Japanese foods.

Gekkeikan Bizan
Hakutake Shiro Rice Shochu
Kirin Ichiban
Hitachino Nest Beer
Shochu is a traditional Japanese distilled beverage which
has steadily grown in popularity since the 1990s. Gekkeikan
specialises in rice-based shochu and has developed a production
method based on low temperature fermentation, distillation and
aging, resulting in a soft and fruity character. Gekkeikan's finest
shochu includes the rich Bizan Gold, which blends oak barrelaged shochu with fresh shochu. Bizan Super has a complex,
refreshing flavour, with sake lees from ginjo sake added during
the fermentation process. Sake lees are also added to Bizan
Clear, which is light and easy to drink.
Hakutake Shiro is a premium rice shochu produced in southern Japan.
It takes as its main ingredient the mineral-rich subsoil water that flows
into the River Kuma from the region's mountains. Shochu made here
is known as Kuma Shochu, and has a 500 year history. Tradition, timehonoured techniques, and nature’s bounty are combined into this
rich, mellow shochu, which is crisp and fresh on the palate. The fruity,
elegant rice-based notes and easy-drinking style make it ideal with
almost any dish. It is also excellent enjoyed on the rocks.
Kirin beer was first brewed in 1888 and derives its name from
the kirin, a mythical creature said to be part deer, part dragon
and hailed as a harbinger of good fortune. Ichiban refers to
the unique Ichiban Shibori (first pressed) brewing method
which uses only the sweet, flavoursome liquid from a single,
first pressing of the finest ingredients. This method gives Kirin
Ichiban its crispness, purity and smoothness.

a take on an English classic, blending velvety malt with the
bitterness of hops, creating a well-balanced, classic beer.
Nest Beer has won numerous international awards, including
Champion Beer at the Brewing Industry International Awards
and two gold medals at the World Beer Cup.

Akashi-Tai Shiraume Umeshu
CHOYA
Umeshu is usually made by marinating plums in plain white
alcohol, but Shiraume Umeshu uses a premium ginjo-type sake
instead to slowly extract the fruit essences. Once the marinade
is complete the plums are removed and then the umeshu is left
to mature for 2 years for extra smoothness and richness. It is
best enjoyed with ice or mixed with soda. Selected as one of
Decanter magazine’s top 10 Christmas drinks in 2009, Shiraume
Umeshu has a nose of dried fruit, date, plum and apricot and is
sweet and rich to the palate with a velvety, dry finish.
Founded in 1914 as a winery, CHOYA began producing
umeshu using only natural ingredients in 1959 and is today the
world’s leading umeshu producer. Scientific research has shown
that ume (a Japanese apricot-like fruit) contains unique relaxing
properties and many health benefits. CHOYA Umeshu is
smooth and refreshing. It can be served as an aperitif or dessert
liqueur on its own or in cocktails.

In addition to its miso products (see page 39), Marusan-Ai
pioneered sterilised packaging for soy milk and began producing
it in the mid 1970s. Marusan soy milk owes its particular flavour
to over 30 years of continuous efforts to improve its taste,

unpalatable, and bringing out the natural taste of soy beans. As well
as plain soy milk, the range includes sweetened and unsweetened,
malt, green tea and fermented yoghurt flavoured soy milk drinks.
This easy-to-drink, gently sweet and refreshing soft drink is made from
premium koji and nutrition-rich Japanese rice. It can also be used as a
delicious and wholesome alternative to sugar when baking. Mix with
soy milk and coffee for an amazake latte, or use instead of milk in
pancakes, puddings and stews. Amazake contains no simple sugars,
salt, preservatives or sweeteners; its gentle sweetness is from the rice
koji alone, making it rich in essential amino acids and vitamins. Brown
rice, organic brown rice and white rice versions are available.

aromas of other foods; it also contains twice as much umamirich amino acids as soy sauce. Used by top chefs, Ayu Fish
Sauce is a new, versatile flavour enhancer which can be used in
a variety of western dishes as well as in Japanese cuisine.

Marusan Natural Miso
Masuyamiso Organic Miso Series
Marusan-Ai has been producing processed soy bean foods since
1952, with a particular focus on miso and soy milk (see page 35), at
facilities that have now achieved ISO 9001 status. Marusan’s 100%
Additive-free Miso (red and blended types) is made from GM and
additive-free ingredients sourced and grown in Japan – soy beans,
rice, salt and water. The red miso is rich with umami from the soy
bean protein, making it an excellent addition to brown sauces, whilst
the subtle aroma of the blended version complements soups, such as
minestrone. Both varieties blend well with butter and yoghurt.
Masuyamiso has specialised in miso and related products
since 1929. Its Toki Zukuri range is certified organic by the
Japan Agricultural Food Standards (JAS) and is made with
organic ingredients including Okinawa Shimamasu salt. The
range includes a naturally fragrant and sweet barley miso and
a combination miso made with barley and rice which has a
delicate balance of sweet and salty flavours. Mikaeri Bijin Miso is
a white miso paste which won a gold medal in 2007 and grand
gold medal in 2008 in the prestigious Monde Selection.

Founded over a century ago, King Brewing still employs traditional
brewing methods to produce its high-quality Hinode Hon-mirin
from glutinous rice. Allowed to ferment for two months, this
mirin develops a distinctive mellow sweetness, striking fragrance

bringing out their flavour to the full. The company has met the
IS0 9001 quality management system standard, and prides itself
on its stringent attention to product safety.
Pure Rice Oil is a light, long-lasting and versatile oil ideal for stir-frying,
deep-frying, and for cold use in dressings and mayonnaise. Its delicate
aroma and subtle flavour do not overpower other ingredients, and
its non-greasy feel leaves fried food deliciously crisp. Pure Rice Oil is
packed with the same nutrients and bioactive ingredients found in rice
bran, from which it is derived, including Vitamin E, essential omega-6
fatty acids and antioxidants. Tsuno has been researching rice bran

Sushi Making Machines
Mr Nigiri & Miss Maki
Fujiseiki has been producing food machinery in Japan since 1962, but
in recent years the company has increased exports of its products.
Fujiseiki Europe was established chiefly in order to market sushi and
noodle-making machines to European customers and provide aftersales support. Making sushi is a very difficult art to master, particularly
the moulding of nigiri-sushi and the rolling of maki-sushi. These two
compact and easy-to-use machines are the perfect solution, allowing you
to create all the most popular varieties of sushi quickly and effortlessly.

Indoor Smokeless BBQ Roasters
Yakiniku is one of Japan’s hottest culinary trends; diners choose
their favourite ingredients to cook on a built-in table grill. The
Shinpo Patented Smokeless Roasters have been developed
specifically to minimise the smoke and odours associated with
grilling, allowing diners to relax and enjoy their indoor barbeque.
Shinpo boasts a 55% market share in yakiniku restaurants in
Japan, and is becoming increasingly recognised overseas. The
yakiniku trend is booming outside of Japan; Shinpo is able to
provide comprehensive support to restaurants, from layout to
ventilation systems alongside its market-leading technology.
