Japanese Food and Cooking


The essence of Japanese cuisine is found in the rich geography of Japan itself: a temperate and mountainous chain of islands surrounded by cold and warm seas teeming with fish. Combine these elements with the Buddhist aesthetic that has prevailed for more than 1,000 years, and one begins to understand why the best Japanese cooking embodies the principals of subtlety, simplicity and seasonality. Thus all Japanese food, however basic, is prepared to feed the eyes as well as the mouth. At its heart, Japanese culinary tradition dictates that the very freshest, seasonal ingredients should be prepared in such a way as to preserve their essential flavors.
