Organize your Japanese cuisine in Italy

This argument would be more suitable for a forum for a blog because I also need the views of readers. Therefore it will update over time thanks to your suggestions.

If you have been infected by the Japanese eating habits (eg because you live with a Japanese person, or have lived there a long time and that way you love to do), you probably want to cook regularly The Japanese even while in Italy, is to recreate that environment family I know who to amaze your friends. So in addition to have the proper ingredients, it becomes necessary to organize the kitchen and the table in order to equip a kitchen so different from ours. And then to provide equipment that would not normally use in Italy.

To begin with I would here make a check-list of major equipment and utensils necessary / advisable, indicating where to find them and possible alternatives.

• The machine electric rice cooker. (E 'required whenever you live with a Japanese)
• Bollitrice water (it is not essential at home, but it is vital to the comfort of a Japanese guest, hotel or office. If there is no doubt you will ask.)
• chopsticks (Hashi), door-chopsticks (Hashi-oki), wet towels (oshibori), cooking chopsticks, toothpicks, single-point (Youjia) in their typical container bamboo, bottles for shoyu and shichimi-togarashi, chili, etc. ...
• Wan and bowls of various sizes, colors and materials for rice, miso-shiru, ramen, udon, soba, etc. etc..
• One (or two or three) sets of knives, the knife with wooden handle traditional to modern steel
• dishes, especially in ceramic and bamboo trays
• various, in various shapes and colors
• container and spoon to prepare the rice for sushi (and shamoji oke)
• a tray to drain the tenpura (quite common and advisable for the fried Italic)
• one or more sake in September (if you have your sake)
• Tetsubin ocha and one or more set (if you like you, but it's pretty obvious)
• lots of ice in the refrigerator to lengthen mix beer and spirits Japanese-style (especially if you organize a beautiful evening of karaoke with friends Nippon)
• obento-Bako for at least one person and related accessories, if you like.
• portable gas stove for cooking directly on the table nabe, yakiniku, shabu-shabu, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, etc.. (Or alternatively a heating pad)
• down to make a small barbecue yakiniku, yakitori pool (a kind of shichirin)
• a "nabe" in clay you can put directly on a gas stove
• "Shabushabu- nabe "the metal pot with a hole in the middle to cook shabu-shabu on the table
• a" tamagoyaki-you-furaipan "square pan for cooking the omelet
• ... and much more for the moment that comes to mind

Now we should go to the ingredients ... I jot down someone

• Rice (Italian variety which is more suitable to our needs? Personally I found a very good Japanese rice, however, produced in Italy: another planet!)
• Japanese soy sauce Miso Tofu
• Nattou
• Daikon
• shichimi Wasabi-Sesame oil togarashi
• Sesame seeds
• for okonomiyaki sauce (but how?)
• various algae: nori, wakame, etc. ...
• Taksuodon (dried bonito flakes)
• Ingredients for various onighiri
• If you can make a garden ... oba, edamame, saiaendo, daikon, etc.. grown directly from you (dream!)
• ... I write the rest later. See you soon!

Meanwhile, to give you an idea on some Japanese cooking facilities, you can visit the site Minohan http://www.minohan-net.com/ , a large chain of stores with professional equipment. From the site you can download the entire catalog in PDF. Instructive!

A useful, if you understand something, it would Cookpad ( http://www.cookpad.com/ ) an endless collection of recipes, Japanese or otherwise, by a community of housewives. Some recipes are just fantastic because the "cooks" often indulges itself with ingredients and techniques really "original" ...

Meanwhile she has already put the tag of Tamahiyo prominently on the bag, as is done in G, to indicate she was pregnant on the meter, etc. in the queues. and have a certain priority. But I doubt that here in Italy someone understand and adjust.



For the record, this card is Tamahiyo , ie Tamago Hiyoko . The character with the 'ovettino "a couple of magazines in" premother ":" Tamago Club "(" the club dell'ovetto ") and" Hiyoko Club "(" chick the club ").
The logo in the background, the gray one with the mother and the child is instead the official logo of the Ministry of Health for the pregnant woman, and a real and their priority card in the subway, bus, in queues, etc.. In G also highly respected. The Lord can get for free at each station. This, however, was attached to magazines.

mon amour

The pot that passion.

Although I had never been to Japan in winter, I had the opportunity to discover this dish.

For those who do not know, Nabe means "pot" and is a typical winter dish in Japan.

mettondo is prepared to taste a variety of ingredients such as vegetables, vegetables, mushrooms, meat, fish, shellfish, mushrooms, depending on your taste and availability in a clay pot and cooked on a portable stove directly on table where the diners control the cooking and serve themselves. E 'then a typical dish that you eat with your family in the winter, sitting on the ground and warmed by the kotatsu. And cooking on the table helps create a warm atmosphere.

As the ingredients come to cook and eat at the end, in the remaining broth, pour a little 'rice or udon, in order to complete the dinner.

In fact, the first approach to the nabe was not just exciting. We were in Italy. One evening in late summer invite us to dinner. The only Italian I am. Will that maybe we were too many people for too few ingredients, but I found myself in front of a big pot full of salty water, which floated a bit lonely 'Chinese cabbage, a little' thinly sliced \u200b\u200bmeat and a little 'tofu. At the end of cooking, however, the ingredients tasted inconsistent, and even the udon final result was rather tasteless. If this was nabe, I could very well do without.

Eventually, however, someone warned me, "Look, this is not just a nice nabe."

It so happened that a few months later, turning in a department store, be exposed in pots of clay, very similar to a nabe. Were Chinese, but very similar to the Japanese nabe, both in the pot for the lid. On the package the importer had written "fire pot", to be just above the stove, without protection, as is done with the normal nabe. I could not resist and bought it.

dusted off the portable stove (rather difficult to find in Italy) and recovered with difficulty the ingredients in the evening we had our first family nabe. Completely different and delicious.

Since then at least a couple of times a month in winter, the nabe is required.

regard to the ingredients, the nabe is no room for a lot of imagination: any of vegetables that we enjoy is welcome. Should not fail, however, tofu and daikon. Meat, fish, shellfish or crustaceans can enrich the dish, but it depends on taste and wallet. My absolute favorite is the kani-nabe, the pot with the crabs and scallops. Truly a delicacy.

Even if the base is completely different, reminds me of the native Cacciucco.

Ooops ... but this is just a surplus. ;-)

Nengajou and stamp


missing six months to the end of the year. It's hot and we Italic our mind just sun, sea and fun. Sun, sea and fun. Sun, sea and fun. But six months

Passaniti soon, so it's time to inform and organize.
In this case I want to mention the Japanese tradition of " nengajou ," the New Year's greeting cards.

A New Year it is customary to exchange greetings cards, a bit 'like us, but with the conditions and rules and a bit' different.

when to do it and when not to
Each family prepares and sends them to all their relatives or friends. Businesses and shops
send them, maybe its selected customers. I know something I
;-) And the thing is practically mandatory.
If, however, that there was a family in mourning for that year the family can not send or receive nengajou. This does not mean it is exempt from this work, in fact well in advance to send to all the possible match another set of postcards informing them that because of the mourning will not be able to send New Year greetings and good will that, for that 'people sent them to him not years.
Well ... something always has to send!

Shipping and delivery
Postcards New Year's are prepared in various ways, but it is vital that we delivered to the recipient together on the same day, the morning of New Year.
Last year, the Japanese postal system to deliver up to New Year's Day postcards pocketed by Dec. 21.
Obviously the Japanese postal system is organized to ensure the delivery that morning.
First in the days before the staff will identify all letters of that type, classify and store the pending delivery.
Second on the morning of New Year postmen will be called to a day of overwork to make all deliveries. In Italy it would be possible to have a system in full working order on the morning of New Year?


Postcards Postcards are types, but usually it comes to Japanese postcards, 10x15 vertical dall'affrancatura economic (given that you must send a lot ').
There is usually used to prepare it though and personalization with text stamp.
or you can find in any stationery shop in Silver Haze, etc.. For example
Japan Post offers prepaid cards in white, where you can write by hand or use a printer.
maybe the companies are preparing customized at the print shop.
Topics illustration on the card are varied, but range from traditional ones, such as the animal from the Chinese zodiac year, the photographic composition of the family (especially if there have been new arrivals). Rarely have Western Christmas illustrations, like the Christmas tree or the house under the snow.

stamp
inevitable element to be affixed on the card is any stamp, as per Japanese custom.
Given the Japanese mania for the stamps and stamp (remember that in Japan everyone has his personal stamp, which has a duration equal to the signature, if not more) they can not be lacking in this case.

And here I'm mad because in many stationers are of great stamp, that would make the joy of our own pro-Japanese maniacs.

Here are some photos, taken at Tokyu Hands. Note the right stamp with Tottori!





Print self-service
Last year the fashion was to prepare the computer, printed on an ink-jet color. And it was the business of the moment. At Yodobashi, but virtually everywhere, there were endless mountains of printer models and printing postcards, kit, software and guides to make photographs. I, too, I bought a little ', as it costs infinitely less than in Italy and I had to send a bit '. Even the post office it was selling, with stamps, virtually the sole cost of the stamp.
Now I greet you I'm going to jot down some ideas for the next nengajou and then I'll go to sea.

PS: if you pass the Post Office, take the series of New Year stamps. Those of 2008 were all gold filigree. Superb.

cabinets and furniture

If you're around Odaiba and una'oretta you have to lose, you go to visit the furniture shop in IDC Otuka at Ariake , inside the palace in Tokyo Fashion Town, off at Kokusai-tenjijo Seimon of Yurikamome.
E 'is the most' big showroom home furnishings in Tokyo. It has an area of \u200b\u200bover 30,000 m ° and is spread over 4 floors.
So you can view a selection of fine furniture, decor, like the Japanese wealthy and big house.

Besides the Italian section, with the leaders of our design (especially modern), you will find many furniture a bit 'more' traditional

• 's wedding cabinets from Japan, where they kept the precious kimono,
• the low tables in briar
• studio furniture for kids room, kitchen corner
• for mini-mini-apartments without kitchen
• and much more.

I personally find a lot of furniture a bit 'too' woody ' for my taste, but they are very nice and will suit a house "timber" as the Japanese.
They do a little 'worth furniture for the kitchen, but on the other hand are made for mini-mini-mini-apartments where there was no room to install the kitchen floor (in Japanese homes are typically sold with the kitchen ready).

Try to understand that you are committed to tourists, otherwise, with their perfect manners and efficiency, will follow you everywhere.

The palace is where the show has a huge lobby. In the center of the hall, every hour you turn on a cascade of water that falls from the ceiling of 35 meters. E 'is particularly beautiful at night, when you create beautiful color effects.


If you're curious about what IKEA sells in Japan, look the site and download the catalog. You will find that is almost identical to ours, except for some food and some accessories that we would sell it here too.
