Gaijin-in-JapanBlogging direct from Kobe, Japan
Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm different and I like it that way. Why else would I decide to leave San Francisco and live here forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe. |

Maybe many of you are wondering what’s happening with cuisine in Japan. This is probably one of my favorite topics to talk about since the food here is soooooo good. I mentioned before that Sosaku dining is becoming quite popular. Well, another type of cuisine, which has actually been around longer than Sosaku, maybe 15 years or so, is Mukokuseki ryori or ‘mixed cuisine.’ The difference between Sosaku and Mukokuseki is the variety. Sosaku is generally considered to use more French accents while Mukokuseki is basically a mix of all countries. I believe Sosaku is more popular because of the presentation, whereas Mukokuseki seems to have no emphasis on style and tradition so important to Japanese. Personally, I think French food is old fish and meat covered in a sauce which masks the flavor, and then done up real pretty like to distract you–nice sauces, though. No offense Frenchie, I’m just a ‘gourmet.’ See more at http://www.gnavi.co.jp/en/w_theme/ Check the back issues if you are reading this post after May 2006. You must be logged in to post a comment. |
