Japanese

Carefully balanced flavors and gorgeous execution are two of the hallmarks of Japanese cuisine. An island nation, Japanese food relies heavily on seafood as its main protein, bulked up by rice and vegetables. Unlike many of its Asian neighbors, Japanese cuisine is not known for its chile pepper heat, and instead relies on the thoughtful application of aromatic seasonings like garlic and ginger to accent the food. Add richness and depth to your Japanese dishes with some Fish Sauce Powder or try a traditional Shichimi Togarashi to add a bit of perky heat as you experiment with these recipes.
