How many different types of soy sauce are used in Japanese cuisine?

Rice, soy and vinegar
In Denmark, the selection of Japanese soy sauce is very small and there are several reasons for this.

In Denmark, soy sauce is used in a different way than in Japanese cuisine. In Japan, soy sauce is considered a spice.

Our knowledge of Japanese soy sauce is very limited. In Japan, the labels are written on bottles with Japanese characters. This makes it difficult to figure out which soy sauce is used in which dishes.

In Japan, there are as many soy sauces in a Japanese supermarket as the selection of cheese in a Danish supermarket, which means that it does matter which soy sauce is used when cooking Japanese food.

Japanese soy sauce is a main ingredient in Japanese cuisine it gives the Japanese flavors and aromas that characterize food served in Tokyo.

In the Traditional Japanese cooking class for beginners, you will learn how to make tasty Japanese dishes where different soy sauce is used simultaneously in some of the dishes. Authentic Japanese dishes made from scratch.

What is the best way to store sushi in a refrigerator?

Sushi Chef & Sake Sommelier
Sushi is a dish that tends to dry out easily if it is stored the wrong way.

All ingredients used in sushi are fresh and raw.
You know it from tomatoes. If you cut a tomato allow it to lie without being wrapped properly the surface will dry. The same thing happens with sushi. It does not taste very good.

What causes sushi to dry out easily is the direct contact with air.
Sushi should be stored in an airtight container. If that is not possible, let us say you bought sushi for a dinner and it takes up a lot of space in your fridge.

The next best thing to do is to wrap cling film tightly around the sushi so that no air gets in. It is important to wrap in such a way that the individual pieces of sushi do not break.

Sushi should always be eaten at room temperature. It tastes the best.
Approx. 15 minutes before you sit down to eat, you take the sushi out of the fridge and leave it on the kitchen table (without a lid).

You do not always have to buy sushi.

On the Sushi course for beginners, you learn step by step how to make tasty sushi for everyday use and parties.

Are Japanese Gyoza Suitable as a Starter?

Gyoza

A traditional Japanese meal often consists of many small dishes typically between 10 and 12.
Some of these are more suitable as appetizers than others, and one of the most popular small dishes is Japanese gyoza. These delicious dumplings are perfect both as a starter or a light main course. They can be enjoyed all year round whether on an ordinary day, with friends and family, or during festive occasions.

Gyoza actually has its roots in Chinese cuisine, where they are known as dumplings.
The variety of dumplings in China is vast and dates back hundreds of years. Over time, the dish made its way to Japan, where it was adapted to local ingredients and flavor preferences resulting in the version we know today as gyoza.

In our Traditional Japanese Cooking Class for Beginners, you will learn how to make classic gyoza entirely from scratch. You will master various cooking and hand-folding techniques and gain valuable insight into which ingredients to choose in order to achieve the best flavor and value.
