What is the Japanese cuisine that best represents winter?

When the weather is cold, my stomach will always feel hungry for a while, and a lot of delicious food will wander around my mind. Do you really want to eat hot food to warm up?

Hand-washing pot (hand-washing spoon)

Japanese people who seem to have the ability of "not afraid of cold" love warm pots no less than anyone else in winter.

Every cold winter, at home, when colleagues or friends in the company have dinner, as long as you say "Let's eat soup pot tonight", the atmosphere will suddenly become lively.

"Shouxi Shao", which is stewed with sliced beef, vegetables and other ingredients in sweet and spicy soup, has not only become a representative dish for Japanese to taste top beef;

Whenever a family gets together or celebrates, they often carefully prepare the whole family to enjoy it together.

ishikari pot

Ishikari is a representative local flavor of Hokkaido. The main ingredient is salmon sashimi. Salmon or vegetables are seasoned with vinasse soup and miso, and then stewed.

This dish is named after Ishikawa, which is rich in salmon.

The eastern part of Hokkaido is generally called the "Ten-win Pot".

In Guangdong, the same dish is also called "Ten Win Pot".

Thick soup and fish, vegetables and other ingredients are put into a large pot at the same time to cook soup pot dishes, which not only has the effect of health preservation and nourishing, but also enjoys warmth in cold winter, which is absolutely awesome!

Sumo assorted pot

If you go to Tokyo instead of Hokkaido for the first time, then the soup pot that Tokyo will definitely push is the "Sumo Assorted Pot".

Adding meat, fish, meatballs, vegetables and other stew sumo pots to the thick soup of chicken bones feels "solid". No wonder it can be used as a sumo wrestler's meal after training. Balanced nutrition and delicious taste make people want to stop.

Related simple cooking packages are also sold in supermarkets, and their popularity is overwhelming.

Crab feast in Hokkaido

In addition to the soup dishes that are very close to the people, the "Gaodashang" cuisine in winter in Japan has to be said to be a crab feast in Hokkaido.

I don't think I've ever seen a crab bigger than the Hokkaido King Crab. Generally, the big one is 5 kg and the small one is 3 kg.

So it's hard to chew the king crab alone.

There is a seafood street near Hakodate in Hokkaido, which is an excellent place to eat Chu crabs, hairy crabs and king crabs. Generally, it needs about 10000 yen.

Fresh crabs are fresh and tender, and their colors are bright.

Horse sashimi

Eating horse meat is a unique culture in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Fresh horse meat is pink and nicknamed "Sakura Meat".

The general way to eat it is to dip it in special soy sauce. This soy sauce contains Jiang Mo, garlic, chopped green onion and other ingredients, and has a unique taste.

Because the fat part of horse meat can be dissolved at low temperature, the streaky part of horse meat can also be eaten raw as sashimi.

It is said that horse meat is rich in collagen and low in calories and fat. It is extremely healthy red meat.

Purpose; Interests; Reason; Reason; Sake

It's cold. It's also a pleasure to warm a small bottle and drink it with a "pig's mouth" (a small porcelain cup for sake).

Japanese sake is usually drunk at room temperature (about 16℃), and needs to be scalded in winter, heated to 40℃~50℃ and put in a shallow bowl or a small ceramic cup.

Generally, the most common way to warm wine is to pour sake into a clear flask, and then put it into preheated boiling hot water to warm it to a suitable temperature, mainly because this method can best maintain the original flavor of wine and make it gradually emit aroma.

Genghis Khan barbecue

Genghis Khan barbecue, "once again" is a winter specialty food in Hokkaido.

Put mutton, onion, pumpkin and other ingredients on an iron plate that protrudes like the bottom of the pot, and then dip it in special seasoning to eat.

Plus a glass of sapporo specialty draft beer, it is the most authentic way to eat Genghis Khan barbecue.

Sapporo's most famous time-honored store is this Dharma Genghis Khan Grill, which has three branches and is very popular.
