Japanese vegetarian dishes are very nutritious and healthy.
Japanese cuisine has a strong focus on raw materials which supplies the body with vitamins and minerals while that detoxifies the body.
Seaweed for sushi is the vegetable in the world that contains more minerals and vitamins.
On my many trips to Japan, I have seen how the Japanese use seaweed.
In Europe we often use seaweed often only in sushi in Japan used seaweed in most dishes.
It may be in a fund as an garnish in the food or sprinkled over food the possibilities are many. One nori sheet contains 600 gram of vitamins and minerals.so You can with few means you easily get your needs for vitamins.

In 2014 I went to a concert at an English pub in Tokyo with my teacher’s son-in-law, son-in-law’s English teacher and his Japanese girlfriend.
It was the coolest concert with a Japanese / British band and while we drank cold beer on the very hot summer evening, it embedded with Europeans living in Tokyo. It was a pretty fun experience.
At about 11 p.m. we had to go back because the metrologists had announced that there would be a typhoon coming later in that evening. Before the son-in-law and I had to go home we would have a little night food on the road. It turned out to be the wonderful sashimi dinner we had served at 11.30 p.m.
We reached home before typhoon hit Tokyo the rain poured down at that time.

There are many people in Denmark who believe that Japanese people eat a lot of sushi. The Japanese love sushi but sushi accounts for less than 15% of Japanese cuisine.
In Japan sushi is a style that does not match a busy weekday it is a dish most often enjoyed over a couple of hours.
What are usually eaten on a busy and hot summer day is noodles. In Japan, noodles are a broad concept and covers several different noodles and food styles.
The dish I have in mind is soba noodles that can be eaten both cold and hot. During the summer, it is always eaten cold with a dip such as consists of soy sauce. It is a light dish which is easy to digest.

The biggest challenge as a Japanese trained sushi chef is that the better you get the harder it’s also making sushi.
It may sound a little odd.
Making sushi as a professional is precision work because Japanese sushi is very simple in its expression and the use of raw materials. When you make food with as few raw materials as you do when you make sushi you fall through like as sushi chef if you do not master the techniques.
Over time, it’s actually gets more challenging to make sushi because you get more detailed you also work with more and more difficult techniques as you get better and better.
At Sushi course for beginners you learn to use techniques that you can go straight home and use in your own kitchen. So you can make sushi of such quality that you can serve it to others.

What characterizes Japanese cuisine and Japanese cuisine is that the portions are often very small.
During a meal eat Japanese 6-8 different dishes that contain little fish, vegetables, soy sauce and seaweed that are prepared in various ways.
The many small dishes are to make sure you do not feel heavy or stuffed after a meal. The individual dishes are light in texture and very tasty which makes it easier for the body to digest food.
A Japanese dinner covers the entire food chain, so the Japanese get every day what the body needs which is one of the reasons they are the people in the world who live the longest.

The first time I encountered the delicious Uni was in Los Angeles in 2006. Toshi my executive sushi chef instructor served Uni to me like a piece of nigiri.
The velvet and delicate flavor melted in my mouth. I will never forget and have since then eaten it several times in both the US and Japan.
In Japan, the Japanese sushi restaurants buy Uni at the Tsukiji Fish Market. Here you will find a seller who is only specialized in Uni who sells it in many different qualities and price levels.
It is incredibly difficult to describe the taste of Uni as it is so unique in its taste and consistency. To get it served as a piece of sushi nigiri will not be the last time for me.

When I’m in Japan I eat many nigiri pieces with different kinds of fish. I also like fish that I do not know for expanding my horizon.
When I stay in California I always eat at my Japanese sushi chef instructor sushi restaurant. On his menu there is a certain nigiri piece that is a must and it is “Yellowtail with Myoga”, served with a secret sauce.
Yellowtail is white tuna a fish as very popular fish in the US and Japan. Myoga is a Japanese ginger which has a quite unique flavor and aromas.
It’s a nigiri piece that you can only get served in the United States or in Japan. I choose to get it served when I’m in the United States because the Japanese sushi restaurants in Tokyo have so many other fish and taste to offer.
