Traditional Japanese cuisine or washoku ( wa = harmony, shoku = food) is one of the most popular in the world, to such an extent that it was declared by UNESCO in 2013 as World Heritage Site Restaurant. This is why at Groupon – Peixe Perú we wanted to pay tribute to it and highlight 5 aspects that make it one of the favorite foods of Peruvians:
Healthy: this type of food is rich in natural ingredients such as: vegetables, rice, seafood and fish. This makes it a very healthy and nutritionally balanced meal that also seeks to care for nature using seasonal ingredients.
Balanced: simplicity and balance are two characteristics very present in Japanese food. Fresh, quality ingredients and a pleasant visual aesthetic are always present in their dishes.
Dedication: behind each dish there is always a lot of dedication and patience when preparing it. This type of gastronomy is a faithful reflection of the country’s culture that allows us to understand them.
Presentation: The Japanese usually use plates with many mixed colors, shapes and patterns that represent the different seasons of the year. The tableware is part of the meal and complements its essence.
Order: in more formal meals, the Japanese usually use a rule of 5 colors (green, yellow, red, white and black), 5 flavors (sweet, salty, sour, sour and spicy) and 5 preparations (raw, cooked, steamed , grilled/grilled and fried).
Currently , sushi is one of the most popular Japanese foods outside of Japan. This combination of rice with fish or seafood and other ingredients wrapped in nori seaweed and accompanied by soy sauce, wasabi and marinated ginger is always a good idea to share with family and friends.
