Japanese Food Tips

Steamed rice is a staple food for Japanese people, but we do not eat rice by itself. We usually eat rice with side dishes and miso soup because rice itself has little taste. However, rice seasoned with ingredients and cooked with soup stock and soy sauce or salt instead of water can be eaten by itself. It is delicious not only warm, but also cold. Rice can be seasoned with vegetables, meat or seafood, and there are multiple combinations of these ingredients. Actually, the ingredients and seasoning are different depending on the region and family. Seasoned rice is eaten all year, and is usually cooked with ingredients of the season. for example, bamboo shoots, green peas and sea bream are used as spring ingredients. Bamboo shoot seasoned rice is a particularly representative Japanese food for spring. You can eat in restaurants, or buy it at department stores or supermarkets. So if you are in Japan, please try it.
