Mirin is used for Japanese cuisine, along with miso and soy sauce.
It has an effect on connecting plural tastes and making taste mild.
Ranou no Syo-yu-Zuke, If the dish is made only with soy sauce without mirin, you may feel saltily.

The mirin which you bought is a みりん風味調味料(mirin flavored seasoning) exactly.
The big difference between mrin and mirin flavored seasoning is having alcohol or not.
But the difference shouldn't affect the dish.
np & Goansin-kudasai.


>># fishy
>>There are funny fish dishes in Japan right?

There is this!
魚肉ソーセージ(Gyoniku-sausage, fish meat sausage)


U-m, It is a ingredient rather than a dish. lol

BayYan-san,

I made the egg yolk with the marinade per your instruction. First was Saturday breakfast (about 24h marinating) and it was really good.
Second was sunday breakfast (about 48h marinating) and I have to say I liked it even better.

Absolutely excellent taste, thank you for recommending it.

[BayYan]

I am glad that you liked the dish.



To be marinated more than 3days


It becomes like cheese.
You should prepare for SAKE!

[Hoshi "Terry" Toranaga]

Hah very nice! Yes I got some good Sake on the Way

Years ago I visited Japan for two weeks, can say it would be worth to return for the food alone.

Here's a dish that is VERY easy to prepare for Austrians, and for most Germans probably too: Katsudon
Think about it next time you have Schnitzel.

Japanese stuffed bun imitating Maus（Panzerkampfwagen VIII）. lol

[Algirium]

Looks a bit dick-ish or cock-ish, I wouldn't dare to eat this in public

[BayYan]

Speaking of food of the New Year in japan, it is 雑煮 (zoni)
It's rice cakes boiled with vegetables on New Year's Day
We eat it almost every day for a while.


My hometown-style (Miso soup base)


Tokyo-style (Soy sauce base)

[Hoshi "Terry" Toranaga]

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

冬は"おでん"

[Shin'ichi "K4t0o" Takeda]

It's such a long time ago that I ate real japanese food. I while never forget the delicious breakfast my hostmother made for me.... ;_;

[Hoshi "Terry" Toranaga]

That looks amazing and makes me want me to visit Japan again ...

[BayYan]

Today, I made "お好み焼き(okonomi-yaki)"




But I committed a great mistake. I forgot to buy "紅生姜(Benishōga)"

It adds an accent to a dish
