I am an American grandmother. Three weeks ago, for hope of helping health, I switched to an all Japanese diet. I am cleaning out my pantry and replacing everything with authentic Japanese ingredients, and this is excellent information. I have been living on miso soup, seaweed, and rice, and studying videos. Your video explaining your mother's instructions for order of adding ingredients is new to me, and I thank you, and thank your mother. This will really help. I am getting better at making this food, and learning to enjoy the many new flavors.

1. Sea salt
2. Regular soysauce
3. Rice vinegar, Sushi vinegar
4. Miso paste
5. Mirin
6. Sake
7. Cooking wine, has salt, unlike sake, less aroma and flavour than sake

(Sha Shi Su Se So Rule)

Sugar, Salt, Rice vinegar, Soy sauce, Miso

I hated cooking. But I realized every time I wanted to go out to eat it was Japanese. Whether ramen, sushi, teriyaki, tamgo kake gohan etc. So I decided I better learn how to cook Japanese food. But venturing into my local Japanese super market has been daunting to say the least! I don’t know what to buy, or what the things I’m supposed to buy look like! I literally spent hours in there looking for dashi and wakame for miso. Still haven’t found the sake! Though, I did enjoy being in this new world so much that I didn’t mind being there. Anyway, the point is thank you so much for this video! I’m so excited to pick these up and start my Japanese cooking journey. Btw your English is excellent!

I'm a 53 year-old American, finally learning to cook (Japanese Cuisine) at home. I admit it is a bit scary - I grew up on American fast food and top ramen. Thanks you for helping me understand what I'm doing and how to use ingredients.

I’m 18, aspiring to be a world-class chef and preparing for my journey from the American south to Tokyo. This is a great start, thank you!

[omjaoa]

Thank you (from a non Japanese mom whose kids prefer mainly Japanese food)

[natashareese]

Thank you for this. I feel like this is the starter pack for Japanese cooking. I can't wait to build up my pantry. I also liked that you went into detail about each item.

[stephan]

This is very helpful! In Germany it‘s hard to find the right ingredients. So it’s important to know the differences and details. Thank you!

I have subscribed. I am learning how to cook food in the Japanese style because of how delicious it is, and because of the unhealthy nature of most American food. Since beginning my journey into Japanese cooking and condiments, my family and I are feeling better and enjoying food and flavors we have never tasted before. Thank you for these great videos!

[bernadinepena]

More videos like this is appreciated.
I'd love to learn all aspects of Japanese cooking.

Arigato Miwa-San. This guide is excellent.

I really enjoyed this and got good tips from this! Thank you! I'm married to a Korean, so a lot of these ingredients are must-haves in our kitchen, too. I really like how you stress that Rice Vinegar and Sushi Vinegar. SO many people think they're the same (and yes, first starting out, I was sincerely surprised the Rice Vinegar I put on my rice for Sushi wasn't what I THOUGHT it was LOL). I would say for any European or Mexican people watching, Tamari is rather like Maggi sauce (to ME, it's especially similar to the Jugo Maggi). Tamari adds a depths to non-Asian stews & beef dishes - give it a shot! In addition, we also have Guk - Korean Soup Soy Sauce, which is hard to explain but really IS awesome in soups. So anytime I'm cooking, BOY do I have to go through mental gymnastics to figure what to use and when LOL The Miso, too - Korean people eat it with Sushi, but generally use Doenjang. I love BOTH, so my soups are an equal mix of the two. ANYHOW... LOVE this videa and will share it! AND am subscribing!
