Japanese Ingredients
Essentials
Dashi
I couldn’t talk about Japanese ingredients without mentioning one of the unsung heroes of Japanese cuisine, dashi! Dashi is a Japanese soup stock that infuses dishes with authentic flavor, depth and umami. You can make your own dashi easily at home, or learn how to use convenient store-bought dashi packs. I’ve got all you need to know right here.
Learn the Essentials
Two of the most important elements of a Japanese meal are rice and miso soup. Learn how to cook them from scratch by watching the videos below!

How to Serve a Traditional Japanese Meal
Once you’ve mastered those essential recipes, you’re one step closer to putting together a full Japanese-style meal!
A typical meal in Japan is not dished up all onto one plate, but instead divided and served on multiple smaller plates as a set. One of the most common forms is “Ichiju Sansai” which translates to “one soup, 3 dishes”. These 3 dishes most commonly consist of one main (usually meat or fish) and two side dishes (salad or a simmered dish made with vegetables, tofu, meat, or fish) along with a bowl of rice and a small plate of pickles which come together to make a perfectly balanced meal.
