| SUSHI - UNIQUELY JAPANESE |
 |
A bento meal is Japan for lunch. It is served in a lacquered box, divide into compartments containing different types of food.
Freshness
and naturalness are the main principles of japanese cusine. The prime
ingredients have remained the same for centuries - seafood, rice, pickled
vegetebles and a few simple seasonings such as horseradish and say sauce.
Seasonality
and simplicity are other necessities, the chosen ingredient being offered
unadorned so that its origins can be seen and appreciated. Presentation
is almost as important as the ultimate taste of the dish, and nowhere
is this more evident than in the uniquely Japanese food, sushi.
The
best drink to go with Japanese food, and with sushi in particular, is
beer. Kirin Beer, brewed in Japan for over 100 years,is a prime example
of a classic pilsner-style lager beer. It has become one of the world's
best selling brands. Its satisfying richness, smooth palate and hoppy
aroma are the results of low temperature fermentation and extended maturation.
