Seafood list in English / Traditional Chinese with photos

Seafood list in English and Traditional Chinese with photos   Translated the fish and shellfish that are often eaten in Japan into English and traditional Chinese. In this translation, we translated about 200 kinds of fish and shellfish. I also posted pictures of as many fish and shellfish as possible. We hope that this translation of fish and shellfish will allow foreigners who cannot read Japanese at all to order at sushi restaurants and izakaya that have only Japanese menus. I created it to assist in ordering at a restaurant that has only a Japanese menu, so I dared to put Japanese first in the language order. We would like to make the menu better, so we are looking forward to your advice. I look forward to working with you.   ①、魚類、Fish、魚 ①-1、寿司ネタ、Sushi topping, Sushi material、壽司食材 ①-1-A、赤身魚 : AKAMI-ZAKANA、Red flesh fish、紅魚・赤身 ①-1-B、白身魚 : SHIROMI-ZAKANA、White fish、白魚・白身 ①-1-C、光り物 : HIKARIMONO、Silver-skinned fish、光物 ①-1-D、その他寿司ネタ、Other Sushi topping, Other Sushi material、其他壽司食材 ①-2、焼き料理、煮料理用魚、Fish used in grilled and boiled dishes、用於烤和煮菜餚的魚 ②、貝類、Shellfish、貝 ③、海老、Shrimp, Prawn、蝦・蝦子 ④、蟹、Crab、蟹・螃蟹 ⑤、烏賊・蛸、Squid / Octopus、魷魚・烏賊・章魚 ⑥、魚卵・海藻類他、Fish eggs / seaweed, etc.、魚卵・海藻等   ①、魚類、Fish、魚 ①-1、寿司ネタ、Sushi topping, Sushi material、壽司食材 ①-1-A、赤身魚 : AKAMI-ZAKANA、Red flesh fish、紅魚・赤身 Japanese : 鮪(まぐろ) Pronunciation : MAGURO English : Tuna 繁體中文 : 鮪魚、金槍魚、吞拿魚 Japanese : 黒鮪(くろまぐろ)、本鮪(ほんまぐろ) Pronunciation :read moreSeafood list in English / Traditional Chinese with photos

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki

March itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Hiroshima Meal edition)

Denko Sekka Ekimae Hiroba store After arriving in Hiroshima city, I went to the “Denko Sekka Ekimae Hiroba store” near Hiroshima station and ate Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. “Denko Sekka Ekimae Hiroba store” is a popular restaurant that has been selected as one of the 100 Tabelog restaurants. Unlike regular Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, the specialty is “Denko Sekka,” which wraps the okonomiyaki dough with fluffy eggs. I ordered “Denko Sekka” (Yen 1,100). It’s delicious, but in conclusion, I prefer the traditional Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. However, I think it is just right for those who are tired of traditional Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. I think that Hiroshima citizens who eat Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki every week need such a slightly unusual new version. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is a “Local dishes loved by the nation” of Hiroshima prefecture selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The biggest feature of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is “Kasane-Yaki (layered grill),” which is baked without mixing the dough and ingredients. It is said that Isao Ise of “Micchan” and Zenjiro Nakamuraread moreMarch itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Hiroshima Meal edition)

Summary of February itinerary in Japan (Hyogo, Tottori, Shimane)

Summary of February itinerary in Japan (Hyogo, Tottori, Shimane trip)   I traveled to Hyogo, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures from Wednesday, February 23rd to Sunday, February 27th. I was able to eat a lot of seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes, and I was able to visit wonderful tourist destinations such as national treasures and national important cultural properties on this trip. Since this trip was mainly on the Sea of ​​Japan side of Hyogo, Tottori, and Shimane prefectures, I was able to enjoy the fresh seafood of the Sea of ​​Japan such as live snow crab. In addition, I was able to fully eat food of the mountains such as “Botan nabe (wild boar meat hot pot)”. This is the February Japanese itinerary that I highly recommend to everyone. Here is a summary of this trip and some notes. I will comment repeatedly every time, but this itinerary was also created with the purpose of “eating out seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes.” Food is the highest priority, and tourist destinations are the second priority. However, we aimed to visit as many tourist spots as possible, such as national treasures and national important cultural properties.   Tableread moreSummary of February itinerary in Japan (Hyogo, Tottori, Shimane)

Sake that goes well with seafood   1. Izakaya is Japanese food culture If a foreigner comes to Japan for a sightseeing trip, I recommend going to an “Izakaya.” Izakaya is a place where you can eat a variety of foods, and many of them are reasonably priced. Of course, there are various types of alcohol. I also love izakaya and have been to many izakayas all over Japan. Izakaya is considered a restaurant close to Pub, Tapas bar, Tavern, etc. However, we can say that the izakaya, with its great meal menus, is unique to Japan compared to these bars, which are mainly alcoholic beverages. As with Karaoke, Izakaya can be one of the Japanese cultures, considering that it can be understood in English. In other words, izakaya is the best place to learn and experience Japanese food culture. The Japan Tourism Agency also recommends foreign tourists go to izakaya.read moreBasic knowledge when foreigners go to Izakaya No.1

Tai sushi

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition) (Sunday, October 24)   Table of contents 1. Breakfast “Ekiben” 2. Lunch “Sushi Masa Main Store” 3. Dinner “Totogen Nishi Maizuru”   1. Breakfast “Ekiben” While waiting for the train at Tsuruga station, I had Ekiben for breakfast. The ekiben is “Tsuruga specialty original Tai sushi” (Yen 1,100). Beautifully colored sushi made with yellowback seabream. The vinegar was slightly moderate, so it brought out the flavor of the yellowback seabream, and it was a very delicious sushi. We had delicious sushi and it was a very satisfying breakfast. Sasa-zuke of Kodai is famous as a specialty of Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, but I think that sushi in Tsuruga City may become more famous as a food that uses the same yellowback seabream. The ekiben package also feels nostalgic and bright, so I think it’s very good. I love Ekiben and want to buy and eat as much as I can when traveling. However, I am disappointed that the sales of Ekiben at local stations are declining due to the recent trend toward higher railway speeds. In 1903 (Meiji 36), Shioso Co., Ltd., which sells “Tsuruga specialty, the originalread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 5 ( Fukui Day 3 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1 Meal edition)

October itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1 Meal edition) (Wednesday, October 20)   Table of contents 1. Lunch “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi” 2. Snack “Hanayamatei” 3. Dinner “Chohachi Kanazawa Katamachi store”   1. Lunch “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi” After visiting “Komatsu no mori”, I had lunch at “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi“, the oldest sushi restaurant in Komatsu City. It was about 10 minutes on foot from JR Komatsu Station. The sushi is very delicious and the service is good, so it is a recommended sushi restaurant. Many sushi restaurants in Kanazawa are so popular that it is difficult to make reservations due to the increase in tourists from Tokyo after the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, and the prices are very high. Komatsu City’s “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi” offers delicious sushi at a reasonable price, so I liked it so much that I wanted to revisit Komatsu City for “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi”. The sushi course I ate this time was 6,500 yen, which was a great deal. When you enter “Kappo Sushi Yonehachi”, you will be surprised at the “stage board of hinoki cypress (Noh stage)” in Itaba ( Sushi kitchen ).
