Like a good haiku,
washoku is dependent on the four seasons
for fresh ingredients.

During the Heian period, food had not been the subject of poetry, but with haiku during the Edo period, all kinds of vegetables, fish dishes and especially the sweets for the tea ceremony, food became a popular topic for poetry, especially haiku.


Even the traditional sweets, wagashi (和菓子)
have a seasonal component to it.

Japanese Food ... Washoku 和食

"WASHOKU" is a term for the traditional Japanese cuisine, which usually includes Sashimi, Sushi, Tempura, fresh fish and a lot of seasonal vegetables.
It is sometimes also called "Nihonshoku" 日本食.
Considering the geographical position of Japan, it has a wide variety of regional specialities, form the North of Hokkaido to the subtropical cuisine of Okinawa.

quote
Japanese cuisine has developed over the centuries as a result of many political and social changes. The cuisine eventually changed with the advent of the Medieval age which ushered in a shedding of elitism with the age of Shogun rule. In the early modern era massive changes took place that introduced Western culture to Japan.

The modern term "Japanese cuisine" (nihon ryōri, 日本料理 or washoku, 和食) means traditional-style Japanese food, similar to what already existed before the end of national seclusion in 1868. In a broader sense of the word, it could also include foods whose ingredients or cooking methods were subsequently introduced from abroad, but which have been developed by Japanese who made them their own. Japanese cuisine is known for its emphasis on seasonality of food (旬, shun), quality of ingredients and presentation.

Amanosake, Amano Sake 天野酒



- Homepage of the brewery in Osaka
- source : amanosake.com... -

.......................................................................

- quote John Gauntner
Osaka has long been a great center of commerce and activity, but likely doesn’t stand out as a major brewing center in the minds of most people. True, it has never been nearly as significant as its Kansai cousins — Kyoto, Hyogo and Nara — but the sake brewing culture was, and still is, strong there.

Osaka has historically been blessed with clean water and good rice. Things today are certainly not what they were hundreds of years ago, for either water or rice. But long ago water in Osaka was good all around, and tiny breweries existed (either officially or otherwise) in abundance, especially in Kawachi, Ikeda and Izumi. When Toyotomi Hideyoshi built Osaka Castle, Osaka consumerism boomed as it grew into a true castle town. Naturally enough, so did the demand for sake. Sake production in those three areas took off. At one point there were 38 sakagura (breweries) in Ikeda alone.

Hideyoshi was known to be fond of a sake called Amano-zake, brewed in a temple named Kangoji on Mount Amano. It was (and still is) brewed using koji that is much further along in its starch-to-sugar converting than koji used in normal sake. Amanozake is darker, mustier, sweeter and more tart than modern sake. One Osaka sake, which uses the brand name Amanozake, re-creates the original style in a sake they call their Amanozake Boso-shu.

Rural Revitalization and Promotion

- quote -
Japan singles out five tourism promotion areas
with unique farming and food features


The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry picked five areas in the country with unique farming and food cultures to promote to foreign tourists.

The first batch of designated model areas are :

Hiraizumi near Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture,
Maze in Gifu Prefecture,
Nishi-Awa in Tokushima Prefecture,
Tokachi in Hokkaido,
Tsuruoka in Yamagata Prefecture,

The ministry plans to run TV commercials and take other measures in Taiwan, the Unites States and France to pitch those areas because they are expected to generate more visitors to Japan, officials said.

The five were picked Friday after the ministry screened applications from 44 areas in 28 prefectures between June and July. The were chosen based on the feasibility of their tourism plans, organizational ability to carry them out, and the uniqueness of their farming and food traditions.

The ministry hopes to designate at least one model area in all of the nation’s 47 prefectures in the next five years, the officials said.

Mamiya Food Ship

[ . BACK to WORLDKIGO TOP . ]
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

food supply ship Mamiya 間宮



- quote
The Mamiya (間宮) was a food supply ship of the Imperial Japanese Navy which was in service from the 1920s to the Second World War.

The Mamiya was originally meant to be an oil transporter but was instead outfitted to be a food supply ship. The Navy sent her to the Kawasaki Shipbuilding Yard where she was fitted with facilities for carrying enough food for 18,000 men over three weeks, and kitchens to produce large quantities of food including yōkan, manjū, tofu, and konyaku.
A number of chefs and pastry chefs were employed aboard and she became part of the Combined Fleet.

Service in Pacific War
Already old by the outbreak of war, she continued to be part of the navy's operations in the Pacific. On 12 October 1943, she was damaged by the US Navy submarine USS Cero near Chichi-jima, and on 6 May 1944, was again damaged by USS Spearfish in the East China Sea. In both cases she was repaired and returned to service. The food supply ship was torpedoed and damaged in the South China Sea (17°48′N 114°09′E) by USS Sealion ( United States Navy). She was torpedoed again and sunk (17°48′N 114°09′E) on the 21st by USS Sealion.

Irako (伊良湖) was a Japanese food supply ship,
serving during the Second World War. Constructed for the transport of food-stuffs, the Irako was eventually commissioned for other roles, including troop transport, munitions transport, and Pacific survey missions. Serving throughout the entirety of the Second World War, the Irako was eventually salvaged for metal, and used for public housing projects in Japan. The crew of the Irako is honored, along with many other seamen, in Tokyo, Japan.

The ship was named for Cape Irago, at the tip of Atsumi Peninsula in Aichi prefecture.

She was intended to supplement the Combined Fleet's existing food supply ship Mamiya. Her design was similar to that of Mamiya, but she was smaller. Her warehouse was able to supply 25,000 men over two weeks. A sister ship, Kusumi, was planned in 1942 under the Modified 5th Naval Armaments Supplement Programme, but construction was cancelled after the start of the Solomon Islands campaign.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Daifuku 大福 "Great Luck" Sweets

- quote
Daifukumochi (大福餅), or
Daifuku (大福)
(literally "great luck"),
is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi (glutinous rice cake) stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.



Daifuku comes in many varieties. The most common is white-, pale green-, or pale pink-colored mochi filled with anko. These come in two sizes, one approximately 3cm (1.2in) diameter, the other palm-sized.
Some versions contain whole pieces of fruit, mixtures of fruit and anko, or crushed melon paste. Nearly all daifuku are covered in a fine layer of corn or potato starch to keep them from sticking to each other, or to the fingers. Some are covered with confectioner's sugar or cocoa powder.
Though mochitsuki is the traditional method of making mochi and daifuku, they can also be cooked in the microwave.
Mochi and daifuku are very popular in Japan.

Daifuku was originally called habutai mochi (腹太餅) (belly thick rice cake) because of its filling nature. Later, the name was changed to Daifuku mochi (大腹餅) (big belly rice cake). Since the pronunciations of fuku (腹) (belly) and fuku (福) (luck) are the same in Japanese, the name was further changed to Daifuku mochi (大福餅) (great luck rice cake), a bringer of good luck. By the end of the 18th century, Daifuku were gaining popularity and people began eating them toasted. They were also used for gifts in ceremonial occasions.

Yukimi Daifuku (雪見だいふく)
"snow-viewing daifuku"

A brand of mochi ice cream made by the company Lotte.

It consists of a ball of vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of mochi, or rice cake. Lotte originally created Wataboshi (Japanese: わたぼうし "cotton hat or capped with snow"), a bite-size ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of marshmallow in 1980. Marshmallow was quickly replaced by mochi because it is more popular in Japan and the company perfected a technology to keep mochi soft at freezing temperature in 1981.
...
Yukimi is a seasonal activity in Japan, similar to hanami, consisting of watching snow falling. The name is a word play (goroawase) upon tsukimi daifuku (月見大福, "moon-viewing daifuku"), the sweets traditionally eaten while viewing the moon.

paper-thin sheets of wood


This type of sheet for writing was widely used before the advent of cheap paper.
It was quite practical, since it could easily be "erased" by shaving over the wooden plate and start again.

Since most offerings to the deities in Buddhism were placed on these sheets, written with a sutra text (kyoo 経), the naming became popular.

Later it was also used to wrap food items. Also small ply boxes (oribako 折箱) are made to store bento for station lunch boxes.

Now kyogi is also used to make other items, like toys, ikebana flower arrangement accessories and others.

Kyogi is a wooden paper from Japan.
It is thinly shaved pine wood and has a smooth surface. It is semilucent with a wonderful wooden smell.
Traditionally Kyogi was used to wrap food, onigiri, fishes or sweets. It was also used to wrap obentos in. Kyogi found a revival in the ecological minded world and is even seen in restaurants recently.

Seen by European eyes it has a Scandinavian touch with its bright wooden tone and its mat surface.
Kyogi can be rolled, twisted, cut, teared, stenciled, painted on, tinted, glued and stapled into many shapes. It allows your creativity to flow free.
