The light, fresh flavors of Japanese cuisine reflect the simplicity of the culture. Food is celebrated in its purest form, unencumbered by heavy sauces or oils. Many ingredients are left raw or only slighted cooked to highlight their natural essence. The elements of each dish are always seasonal to maintain a balance with the environment.
As one of the healthiest cuisines, Japanese fare continues to grow in popularity.
Rice is a staple in every meal and is served alongside fish, meat, vegetables and soup. Sashimi, thinly sliced raw fish, cool and sensuous to the palate, is a Japanese favorite. Sushi, is the most famous Japanese dish and consists of vinegared rice rolled or topped with fresh fish and vegetables. Tempura, lightly fried seafood or vegetables, and beef or chicken teriyaki are some other signature dishes. The clean and balanced flavors of every meal are complimented with green tea, or sake, a traditional rice wine.
The visual appeal of a Japanese dish carries equal importance to taste and preparation. Food is beautifully presented on elegant and unique dish-ware with masterful garnish. The uncluttered art of Japanese cuisine embraces nature and harmony creating an oasis of calm with every dining experience.
