Jose Andres: Exploring Food in Japan
While Japan is home to some of the most luxurious restaurants in the world, it is also known for its casual, home-style cooking,
as well. The Japanese have a way of creating simple, minimalist dishes with astonishing flavor. It’s known as their “washoku” cuisine,
and it is considered one of their national treasures. A lot of these comforting dishes are centered on rice, and one of my favorites from
my trip was this oyakodon that we had at the famous yakitori restaurant Bird Land. Made with just eggs and chicken broth,
it was known as “father and son,” and it had a very special meaning to me. While I do not have a son, I was traveling through Japan
with my one of my daughters, and it was really powerful for us to experience these very special meals and see the world together
in a new way. The flavors of this dish were pure and humble, but the taste was incredible, and for me, it honored the traditions of sharing
a meal and being together with family.
