the emphasis on the artistic presentation of fresh seasonal ingredients, food
what is served in the tea ceremony unites the formalities of honzen ryori with the spirit of
Zen frugality. Kaiseki ryori reached its current form in the early 19th century and
it continues to be served in high-end Japanese restaurants known as
ryotei, and in traditional Japanese inns. At the same time, they maintain the
fresh seasonal ingredients and their original presentation in vintage style, the

Tea concludes the meal. Although most Japanese people have few
opportunities to enjoy a full kaiseki dinner, the types of dishes and their
order is the basis of current Japanese food as a whole. The sushi that most
people today know - rice

raw fish or shellfish, developed
in Edo (the current city of Tokyo) to

The first direct and significant opening


from Japan to the West occurred with the arrival
of European missionaries in the second half
of the 16th century. At that moment, the

combination of the Spanish frying techniques and


Portuguese with the Chinese method of cooking the
vegetables in oil led to the development of tempura, the popular Japanese dish in which the
seafood and different types of vegetables are battered and fried in abundant oil. With the

new cooking and eating habits, the most important is the consumption of meat.
Although today it is considered a Japanese dish, sukiyaki - beef, vegetables,

so varied that any day

Dishes that can accompany these three vary considerably by region, the
time of year and family preferences, but among the possibilities are included the
cooked vegetables, tofu, roasted fish, sashimi, and cooked beef, pork or chicken
different forms. The most common alternatives to the traditional Japanese menu are the
meat and stir-fried vegetable dishes in Chinese style, and grilled beef and pork
Korean style. The boldest cooks can test their skill with
American, French, Italian dishes and from other cuisines. Among the
preferred alternatives especially by children are spaghetti, the
hamburgers and the aforementioned curry rice. While many
families continue to eat home-cooked meals every night, the main change that has
has produced in eating habits in recent decades has been the replacement of
homemade dishes over food prepared outside the home. Sushi, noodle dishes
chinos or Japanese and meals served in lunch boxes in the Japanese style (bento) are
available for some time through home delivery (demae) in towns and
cities, and now you can also order pizzas and many other dishes. In addition, the
supermarkets have many prepared dishes, such as sushi, tempura, and chicken
fried, to take away and consume at home, and convenience stores can
to be found anywhere in Japan, except in the most remote areas, which makes
that a wide variety of precooked dishes is available for almost everyone
in the style of bento food.

[Link]. Contribution to world cuisine

The most famous Japanese contribution to world cuisine, sushi, is consumed


generally in sushi restaurants, where customers sit at the bar and
they place their orders, one by one, to the sushi chef. There are also very popular chains of
sushi restaurants with conveyor belts, where small ones can be picked up
platters with two pieces of sushi transported by a conveyor belt that passes by the counter
in front of the customers, or ask for a special order if nothing is found that pleases in the
love. Unlike Japanese restaurants abroad, which often have a
menu with different types of Japanese food, restaurants in Japan usually
they are specialized in a single type of food, such as sushi, tempura, shabushabu

They usually serve a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes.

Two types of restaurants that can be found in abundance all over Japan, but that do not
considered to originate from Japan, are ramen and yakiniku restaurants.
ramen restaurants serve generous portions of Chinese-style ramen noodles in
large bowls with broth (seasoned with soy sauce, miso, salt, etc.) and slices of
roast pork and various vegetables (bean sprouts, spring onion, etc.), and many people order
also gyoza (Chinese dumpling) to accompany your ramen. In the restaurants of
yakiniku, which is based on Korean-style barbecue, customers cook in their
small pieces of beef, other meats, and vegetables, on grills of
coal or gas. The main cities also have a considerable number of
restaurants of other foreign cuisines, offering French, Italian, Indian food,
Chinese, Korean, and from other places, and in Tokyo there is an almost unlimited variety of
foods from around the world.

long stay in Peru. Your first

with greater success in New York, London, Milan, Tokyo, Miami, and others
large cities. The world suddenly discovered a cuisine that was not
Japanese, but rather the cuisine of Nobu, and with it, the tiradito, the anticucho, and the

Nobu-style ceviche. However, and without taking away merits, but rather,
on the contrary, thanking the good friend Nobu for having shared these
such Peruvian concepts, this cuisine has been preparing in our country since
several decades earlier, by Peruvian-Japanese men and women who
they combined the knowledge and ingredients of their parents with the flavors and

later, the Peruvian poet Rodolfo Hinostroza would call "nikkei". The

Japanese cuisine is undoubtedly one of the richest in the world, it is nuanced

[Link]. ICHIJU SAN-SAI

Ichiju sansai means, literally, 'one soup, three dishes'. And that is exactly what
we are served at the table; a main dish, which is nothing more than a bowl with
soup, and three additional dishes to complement it. Its philosophy is based on offering
many dishes with different products and preparations in small quantities: simple,

38
varied, nutritious, and satisfying. The curious thing about ichiju sansai is that, contrary to what
we are used to in the West —where the dishes are served
successively as we finish with them—these four or five dishes are
they are all served at the same time on the same tray.

2.6. REPRESENTATIVE CHEFS

2.6.1. Tetsuya Wakuda: whose restaurant, Waku Ghin, is located in the position
número veinte de los mejores del mundo. Dicho restaurante se encuentra en el Hotel
Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The chef, born in Japan, spent many years in
Australia, where he learned mainly techniques of French cuisine; which,
Later, they would become part of their own Japanese-French fusion cooking style.
Here, Tetsuya showcases creations that highlight the flavor of the different
elements that make up the dish, since in its philosophy, the product must be
good quality and treated with the utmost care, in order to enhance its nuances and aromas.

Over the years, he built a great reputation in his own restaurant, called
Tetsuya, in Sydney, thanks to which he won his first and only Michelin star.
He is currently one of the most emblematic and influential chefs in the Pacific.

2.6.2. Tetsuya Wakuda.


The second chef to highlight is Seiji Yamamoto, whose restaurant, Nihonryori
RyuGin is ranked number seven among the best in the world. It started in
the culinary world with the sole purpose of impressing his mother, but that goal
he ended up building the foundations of his future kitchen. He studied at a culinary school
and then, the chef spent eleven years in the kitchen of Hirohisa Koyama, where
he studied the art of kaiseki. This specialization led to him being appointed head of
cuisine of the Tokushima restaurant.
In 2003, he opened his own restaurant, Nihonryori RyuGin, in Tokyo. In it
combined typical kaiseki cuisine with molecular cuisine, being considered by

he learned both techniques and Western preparations. After that time, he returned to
Japan with the intention of opening its first restaurant, which showcases its influence of
the high European cuisine and its delicacy for products. For this reason, the way they cook
combines classic French techniques with the best Japanese ingredients and a
great capacity for imagination and creativity. This fusion has made Narisawa be
one of the leading chefs in world gastronomy and one of the most influential in
Japan. The restaurant achieved its first Michelin star in 2009 according to the Guide
Tokyo Michelin 2009, although he would later be awarded his second star.

These three mentioned chefs are essential to understanding the
Japanese gastronomy, as they are very influential in society, but they are not the only ones.
Although the most famous chefs are usually men, that doesn't mean there aren't
women who are not important to the gastronomic world. In this way, there would be two
chefs to highlight, one for her great skills as a cook, which has made her
famous in the world, and another for its role in the evolution of home cooking or
domestic due to its television programs and cookbooks.

she married Reiji Kurihara, who was a television announcer, and it was thanks to him that she became
famous in Japan. This was because, as Kurihara worked on the small screen,
he had influential contacts and friends; thus, one day he went to dinner at his house a
