Hidden Flavor in Japanese Cuisine

[@kristons6010]

As someone who isn't really a fan of fish, I found this really interesting.

[@GeisemoOUTATIME]

He sounds like a calm jeremy clarkson

[@curiousme113]

The Japanese are amazing at coming up with a million different ways to prepare and cook plain old foods... like fish

[@leironrescordado4271]

Delicious Bonito Flakes!

[@Lancynical]

I initially found this channel featuring the Mamachari but I'm here watching the videos because of the narrator's voice.

[@cdovan]

Same!!!

[@oabuseer]

Do you know the name of the narrator?

[@Lancynical]

@@oabuseer Nope

[@ThrobbedKnobz]

Sounds like Jeremy Clarkson from top gear

[@bigbattenberg]

I wonder, are there other fish that could produce the same result? Can any fish be processed to get as hard as bonito?

[@はぬがぬはではぬ]

Can tuna

[@monomello9834]

But what if the Benito....
Was made of the flakes?

[@binod2065]

I am already in love with bonito flaks from India.

Two mushrooms and a bone dried fish stock-minimalist soup.

[@leonardpearlman4017]

Almost nothing in there but water and taste-enhancers! That soup is almost non-caloric I think. It's like genteel artistic starvation! I do love this flavor by the way.

Sedap dok ni. Atas takoyaki. Mintak lebih. Kalau kene cas pon takpa. Bonito flakes ddngan sos takoyaki pon on. Cuma nak kene banyak je

[@senn1600]

We have this in srilanka. It’s called maasi

[@Internetvitamin]

I saw Bonito flakes which moves in your plate. is it different?

[@Hashimishi]

It's the same, but the flakes are so thin they move with the hot air flow from the food

[@leonardpearlman4017]

@@Hashimishi That's it! You can buy commercial ones that are shaved VERY thinly. This also makes it possible to eat them! Keeping in mind that the block is like wood, and the shavings are like sawdust! So even the shavings you get in the big bag (to make stock) are a little tough and hard to eat.

[@Rugged-Mongol]

Why boil it, doesn't that lose a lot of the flavor?

[@saveir6601]

The point is to make fish stock or dashi. The flavour is extracted from the flakes

[@戸塚亭ヨット]

Of course, it can also be sprinkled on dishes and eaten.
When you want to make soup, boil it to transfer the umami to the soup.

Came from yt shorts stayed yt long

[@ThrobbedKnobz]

Jeremy Clarkson is that you?

[@XavierAway]

I don’t think you could’ve picked any background music more infuriating than that 😑
