I'm about to go to a Japanese grocery store, what should I buy?
I already have mirin, dashi, miso paste (red and white), nori, and rice.

Yamasa or Kikkoman soy and tamari is good. Don't bother with chile peppers there, those are native to the Americas and we do that best. Also if you see a little girl just point and say "HOW MUCH FOR THE LITTLE GIRL?"

bonito flakes

>> No.4105666

Also if you can get the real stuff, get some Wasabi, avoid the stuff that's just food coloring, they pass that off to tourists. Though I prefer Coleman's powder and mix it myself.

In addition, kikkoman also makes kickass Ponzu sauce (a tangy flavoring which goes really well with asian food)
comes in citrus fruit flavors

Ah, I forgot to add ponzu. I have it as well as terriyaki, although the terriyaki isn't very good.

What's the difference between panko and regular bread crumbs? I had a crab cakes recipe call for panko the other day, and I used breadcrumbs that I made out of a pumpernickel loaf and some old kaiser buns, and it was fuckawesome.

Just checking to see what I'm missing, if anything.

>> No.4105807

>>4105800

There's no difference if you use them in meatballs, crabcakes, meat loaf, etc.

They do, however, have a lighter and crispier texture when used to coat deep-fried foods

Anyway, I wouldn't buy panko at a Japanese market--chances are it will be quite expensive. You can get panko from a supermarket--which probably has better prices.

>> No.4105809

>>4105800
I would guess that they're the same but I have always used panko because I was taught that way (im white so >>4105800

whatever floats your boat tho. I think Panko crumbs tend to be much lighter than normal breading though

Making soy sauce seems pretty difficult and requires years of study and preperation, it's easier to buy it sometimes from a well known established company that's been doing it for like 300+ years.

Sugar sauce? That's easy, anyone can do that.

>> No.4105906

>>4105882

You misunderstood. He's not talking about making soy sauce. He's talking about using soy sauce and lemon to make ponzu sauce.

Frankly, I agree. It's damn easy to make, as is Teriyaki sauce.

>> No.4105916

My mistake then.

Cherry Blossom Picnic, these are really nice in DC if you get a chance to go, it used to be pretty easy from NYC there was a Delta shuttle. They were a gift from the Imperial family of Japan, before they sneak attacked us at Pearl.

You are missing the shit for dashi stock. Buy:

sesame oil

You might like green tea ice cream, that's good stuff. There's a store in NYC, Katagiri that's got crackin good stuff, they do mail order as well.

Thanks for the suggestion but I did list "dashi" as one of the ingredients that I already have.

You must acquire Beni shōga (紅生姜) or Japanese Pickle Ginger!!

Also you must buy Japanese mountain yam (山芋)!

If you do not buy these things you will suffer eternally from shame and dishonor!! Choose wisely
