Taste of Tokyo

Tokyo flavor, also known as edo flavor, is mostly a traditional flavor passed down from generation to generation. Edo flavor refers to the flavor of dishes made of fish caught in Tokyo Bay. During the Edo period, Tokyo Bay was called "before Edo". 1603 (the eighth year of Qing dynasty), Tokugawa Ieyasu set up a shogunate here. After the opening of the 808-town, the cuisine of "Edo Front" has developed around the so-called Shimonomachi (civilian block) to this day.

Tempura: It is said that the pronunciation of tempero or tempora in Portuguese is incorrect. Shrimp, cuttlefish, fresh fish and various vegetables are wrapped in wheat flour and fried in oil.

"Sushi": After 7 years of cultivation (18 10), hand-held sushi first appeared in our hospital, and it has been used as sushi since then before Edo. Vinegar-flavored rice balls, also called sushi, are covered with all kinds of fresh seafood (tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish, etc. ) and sweet roast chicken eggs. In addition, a rice ball made by putting cucumber and pickled vegetables in the middle to form a slender cylinder and wrapping with laver is called rolled sushi.

Sashimi: Cut all kinds of fresh fish into bite-sized slices and dip them in soy sauce and mustard to eat raw.

"Qiao Mai Noodles": During the Lu Yuan period (1688 ~ 1703), it was loved by Edo people and developed into a typical taste of Edo. There are different ways to eat noodle soup and cold noodles.

Japanese hot pot: Put thin slices of beef, various vegetables, tofu and sweet seasoning juice in a special iron pot placed on the dining table, cook and bake it.
