Top 5 foods to try in Japan.

There are so many amazing foods to try in Japan, I feel that this top five                                                                                    will be helpful and informative.

1.In the lead is the classic sushi, if you somehow do know what sushi is, it’s typically raw fish and vegetables wrapped in seaweed and rice, there is lodes of variations of sushi and all in my opinion are delicious.

 

 2. Coming In at number two is Unagi. This dish is more for the acquired taste. Its river eel cooked over charcoal and then smothered in a barbeque sauce. It comes from Japanese folk law and it’s suppose to help with the heat in Japan.

3. Number three is Soba. Soba is a kind of buckwheat noodle and is a very old classic Japanese meal, especially in the mountains. The noodles are usually served in a hot soya sauce kind of broth or at room temperature with some bamboo.

 

 

4.  Tonkatsu is number four. Tonkatsu is a western influence on Japanese food, it is a kuro buta pork from Kagoshima which is cooked to perfection so it melts in your mouth. It is usually served with miso soup and rice with cabbage.

5. Finally number five is Yakitori. Yakitori is a chicken dish which is grilled over a charcoal grill and seasoned with shio (salt) or tare (a sweet soya sauce based sauce.

Japan:

Japan is this week’s country. So in this post I’m going to go over a brief history of Japanese food and what are the top ten foods to eat in Japan.

Japanese  food goes back a long time, it started out with just rice and rice noodles but slowly it grew to what it is today. It is also heavily influenced from Chinese food.  Rice is probably the most important part of Japanese food and it is served with every meal. Also bamboo shoots and seafood are popular in Japanese culture. Japanese food is also mostly vegetarian as the main religion there is Buddhism this affects their meals because Buddhists believe in reincarnation so if they eat animals that menas they could be eating someone who has been reincarnated into that animal.  Japanese foods are very easy to make and do not require too much cooking.

Hey everyone, happy Friday! I have decided to make every Friday a recipe day.
So this week I'm going to share with you one of my favourite Greek foods. When I was over there over the summer I ate buckets of the stuff. This is a Tzatziki recipe.
I will leave it in Grams, Cups and Ounces.


This serves 8 people.

Ingredients

2 cartons of Greek yogurt ( you can used ordinary plain yogurt but if you used the Greek it tastes better)
2 cucumbers seeded and grated
2 tablespoons of olive oil.
juice of half a lemon
season to taste
3 cloves of garlic
A dash of vinegar gives it a bit of a kick but its completely optional.

Method

Empty the cartons of Greek yogurt into a big bowl.
Take the cucumbers and take the seeds out. Then grate the cucumber with a greater on add to the bowl of yogurt. Juice the lemon into the bowl and season it. Crush the garlic, make sure it is well crushed so there isn't huge chunks of garlic your in sauce. Add the vinegar at this point if you want and stir the whole mixture until everything is thoroughly combined.
To garnish you could add some olives, drizzle some olive oil on top or even add some mint leaves.
