Ticket Giveaway: Japanese Food and Drink Demo and Tasting
That would have to be Onsen Tamago for sure. Literally it means hot spring egg as it's traditionally cooked in a hot spring. But this is no ordinary boiled egg. The trick is to slowly raise its internal temperature to 160 degrees. The yolk comes out firm yet silky smooth and the white is like a loose custard that melts as it hits your tongue. Served in a dashi broth it makes for a simple accompaniment to a bowl of rice for breakfast, but it's fantastic in soups, pastas and on salads.

Slow poached, massaged octopus. So tender. Wow.

This question is like asking to choose between children!
If I had to choose just one dish as my favorite in all Japanese cuisine, it would be the pairing of hot, steamy salted edamame with a cold quality sake. That would be perfection.

does the dynamite from Ave A Sushi count as Japanese?

Baked Mochi. It's best when it is a little bit warm but fine at room temperature as well.

Shrimp tempura. Who doesn't like shrimp and fried things are generally delicious.

Sushi, any kind of fish as long as it's super fresh.

Hijiki salad, or actually any seaweed salad. I also love really chewy udon noodles (in almost any form).

The first meal after landing in Tokyo in the aftermath of a typhoon in 1981: misoshiru, grilled fish (shioyaki) with oroshi (grated daikon), hot steamed rice, tsukemono (daikon pickles), sunomono (cucumber salad), ocha and of course, some cold sake. Variations of this are standard in Japanese American homes, a Japanese canteen at Camp Zama------this is great country food. While your chefs may consider mirin a key "brew", satosu, a combination of vinegar and sugar disolved over heat is much more important. Japanese cooks can make a lot of substitutuions but none of your six ingredients contain vinegar.

I had this amazing braised pork belly at Sakagura.. I could live in that place if I could afford it.

Tuna Tartar with garlic kojichan and wasabi sauce: the sweet, buttery undertones of pillow-soft, sashimi-grade fish aciduated by citrus spiked streaks of bright chili sauce.
