    Summary

    Welcome to "Japanische Basics," where Ryusei introduces you to essential products, ingredients, and cooking methods of Japanese cuisine. This category provides valuable insights on navigating East Asian supermarkets and preparing dishes from various recipes. You can explore crucial cooking tips in the "Zubereitung" subcategory, detailed information on individual ingredients like fish cakes and soy sauce in "Was ist eigentlich," and discover brand products in the "Produkte" section. Furthermore, you’ll find a comprehensive report on rice cookers, highlighting their importance in Japanese cooking and offering guidance for effective rice preparation. With these resources, the site aims to enhance your understanding of Japanese culinary diversity and introduce you to lesser-known products that are worth exploring. Ryusei encourages user interaction by inviting tips, suggestions, and inquiries about ingredients and cooking techniques, promoting continuous growth and enrichment of the "Basic" category. Enjoy your culinary journey!

    In this Basic category, Ryusei introduces you to many products, ingredients and methods of preparation in Japanese cuisine. Of course, Japanese cuisine is not just about cooking itself, because knowledge of the products is essential so that you can find your way around any East Asian supermarket and you can easily cook any dish from us and from other recipes.

    What awaits you in our Basic category:

    In the "Preparation" subcategory, we show you a few important preparation tips for some vegetables or other products. The "What exactly is it" subcategory is probably the most important category, because here we introduce you to every single product, from fish cakes to soy sauce. Here you will get comprehensive knowledge about these things and that will help you above all in your next shopping trip to shop effectively. The "Products" subcategory deals with branded products that we introduce to you. Who knows, maybe you'll try our product recommendations.

    Finally, we have linked our detailed report on rice cookers. While this post is not a subcategory, cooking rice is so important to Japanese cuisine that many of our dishes go perfectly with rice. To make cooking easier for you, we recommend a rice cooker. You can find out everything you need to know and consider in the linked post.

    With all this information, we want to show you the variety of Japanese cuisine and introduce you to products and ingredients that you probably don't even know, but in our opinion you should know. We hope you enjoy exploring.

    Do you have any other tips, tricks or special suggestions? Are you missing a product or do you want to know how to best cut vegetable XY? Then let us know your wish and we will process it. We will definitely be constantly expanding and filling the "Basic" category. We look forward to your feedback, also via email.

      Hi, super beautiful site! Could you maybe put together a collection of typical Asian children's dishes?

        Hello Simon, yes, we can definitely do that sometime. Unfortunately, it will take a little while because we need to make some adjustments in the system. We're currently working on releasing more recipe categories anyway. Best regards, Ryusei Hosono from RyuKoch

      Hello, I could spend hours browsing your page (which I sometimes do – actually more and more often). I have a question about food: Is it possible to buy myoga here? Unfortunately, I never find it in Asian stores or anywhere else. Thanks and best regards, Carolina

        Hello Carolina, Unfortunately, I have also never found Myoga in Germany, so I assume that it is not sold there. However, I can't completely rule it out. Best regards, Ryusei
