Seafood

Oden is a kind of hot pot consisting of daikon, potatoes, eggs, Konbu (kelp), konnyaku, and different types of fish cakes, simmered in lightly flavoured soup stock.

One of my favourite hot pots, yosenabe (寄せ鍋) is packed with seafood, chicken and vegetables. Unlike shabushabu, you don’t need dipping sauces because yosenabe is cooked in flavoured soup. You can cook it all on the stove and serve, or let people cook piece by piece at the table for entertainment.

Nuta (ぬた or 饅) is a miso and vinegar based dressing. It is made with miso, vinegar and sugar, with or without Japanese mustard. One of the representative nuta is tuna and shallots (scallions) nuta. It is a great accompaniment for drinks, particularly sake. Miso dressing goes well with many different ingredients and you can be creative.

Octopus and cucumber sunomono is one of the regular Izakaya dishes. Boiling a whole octopus is quite simple and you can make this sunomono in no time. It tastes better when chilled.

Home-made temakizushi (手巻き寿司) looks fancy but is very easy to prepare Cut the sushi fillings, display everything on the table and let the crowd serve themselves. It is fun and great for a little party with family and friends.

Shime saba is a cured mackerel fillet that is great for sashimi as well as sushi topping. It is very simple to make and so tasty. All you need is mackerel, salt and rice wine vinegar. If you can get a very fresh mackerel, you must try this. No cooking, just marinating!

Sakamushi (酒蒸し, steamed in sake) Fish is a very authentic Japanese dish and sometimes served in kaiseki-ryori (multi-course haute cuisine). In a nutshell: White-fleshed fish is steamed with plenty of sake (酒, Japanese rice wine). This is a very simple method of cooking fish but the flavour of fish is amazing. It will make you feel like you are having a dish at a high-class restaurant!

Japanese Salmon (Mirinzuke) - Simply marinating salmon with mirin, soy sauce and sugar will transform the salmon to a different level. All you need is time to marinate. The grilled salmon mirin-zuke is yummy even when it’s cold. http://japan.recpetineats.com
