The Appeal of Japanese Food
Washoku
Washoku (Japanese food); a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
Japan stretches from north to south and has four distinct seasons. The country has a culinary culture called “washoku,” which has been nurtured in the midst of the diverse nature that exists with the changing seasons. Washoku, based on the Japanese people’s inclination to respect nature, was recognized in December 2013 for its customs related to food and registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage under the title “Washoku, Traditional Dietary Cultures of the Japanese.” AHJIKAN FOODS is engaged in activities to promote tamago-yaki and makizushi among other washoku to the world.
Tamago-yaki (layered egg omelets)
Washoku utilizes a method known as the “Five Tastes, Five Colors, Five Senses, and Five Methods,” and tamago-yaki (layered egg omelets) play a fundamental and decorative role with their yellow color representing one of the five colors (white, black, red, yellow, blue/green). Tamago-yaki is a Japanese traditional egg omelet that is highly nutricious and is often referred to as a "complete nutritional food." In Japan, there are distinctive differences of recipes and variations in tamago-yaki. For example, there are "Atsuyaki Tamago" and "Dashimaki Tamago".
"Atsuyaki Tamago" is sweetened and baked until slightly charred, and "Dashimaki Tamago" is cooked with dashi stock without burning and is served with grated daikon radish.
AHJIKAN has been committed to the quality of its tamago-yaki since its founding in 1962. AHJIKAN also pioneered the plant production of tamago-yaki. We have always pursued not only safety and peace of mind but also a taste that closely resembles homemade tamago-yaki. Our foremost principle is to delight our customers, and we are eager to provide our customers even more delicious tamago-yaki.
Makizushi (sushi rolls)
Makizushi originated in Japan during the Edo period (around 1600), and a variety of ingredients have been used to roll the sushi, reflecting the historical background and local culinary conditions. Makizushi, represented by the thick rolls wrapped in nori, have been handed down and enjoyed throughout Japan as a traditional food to celebrate special occasions. Makizushi are eaten all over Japan especially on February 3rd during the Setsubun Festival as “ehomaki,” a Japanese custom for bringing happiness. On the other hand, they have also become popular worldwide, and there are evolved forms of makizushi reflecting the diverse food culture of Japan as well as overseas countries that have developed their own variations known as Sushi Rolls.
