/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The anon who said that is really stupid. Vultures eat the rotting carcass of dead animals, so a culture vulture would logically mean people who pick apart and "appropriating" a dead culture for their own gain.

Personally I just enjoy cuisine with very high quality products, and Japan takes it to the extreme with the quality of many food and cooking related things.

Please remember enjoying things is strictly forbidden on ck.

My epic Japanese ingredients haul showed up today.

Lio jozo fujisu premium rice vinegar
Lio jozo honey sweetened purple sweet potato vinegar
Lio jozo akasu premium red vinegar
Wadaman dark roasted golden sesame oil
Horikawa nomura mitsuboshi shoyu
Yamatsu tsujita hawk's claw peppers
3 types of kombu, very high quality
And a seasonal sweet miso

The vinegars are all phenomenal. Especially the akasu and the sweet potato vinegar.

The miso is incredible also. It tastes of a mix of ripe tropical fruits. Amazing stuff.

I made a simple dipping sauce of the sweet miso, sweet potato vinegar, and sesame oil and it was absolutely delicious with rice and thinly sliced cucumber.

Going to be making edomae style sushi with my new donabe soon. Very exciting stuff.
