I am an American grandmother. Three weeks ago, for hope of helping health, I switched to an all Japanese diet. I am cleaning out my pantry and replacing everything with authentic Japanese ingredients, and this is excellent information. I have been living on miso soup, seaweed, and rice, and studying videos. Your video explaining your mother's instructions for order of adding ingredients is new to me, and I thank you, and thank your mother. This will really help. I am getting better at making this food, and learning to enjoy the many new flavors.
Good luck in your food journey!
1. Sea salt
2. Regular soysauce
3. Rice vinegar , Sushi vinegar
4. Miso paste
5. Mirin
6. Sake
7. Cooking wine, has salt, unlike sake , less aroma and flavour than sake
(Sha Shi Su Se So Rule)
Sugar , Salt , Rice vinegar , Soy sauce , Miso
Thank you 😊
I hated cooking. But I realized every time I wanted to go out to eat it was Japanese. Whether ramen, sushi, teriyaki, tamgo kake gohan etc. So I decided I better learn how to cook Japanese food. But venturing into my local Japanese super market has been daunting to say the least! I don’t know what to buy, or what the things I’m supposed to buy look like! I literally spent hours in there looking for dashi and wakame for miso. Still haven’t found the sake! Though, I did enjoy being in this new world so much that I didn’t mind being there. Anyway, the point is thank you so much for this video! I’m so excited to pick these up and start my Japanese cooking journey. Btw your English is excellent!
Sorry for the late reply!! I totally understand how you feel. I'm glad that Japanese food became the trigger to make you venture into world of cooking! thank you for sharing!!!
I don’t know where you are but I’m in Australia and since Sake is alcoholic I can’t get it in supermarkets because of our laws here. I have to go to a licensed place like Dan Browns, which sells alcohol. That might help narrow your search. 😊
I’m 18, aspiring to be a world-class chef and preparing for my journey from the American south to Tokyo. This is a great start, thank you!
Good luck!
I'm a 53 year-old American, finally learning to cook (Japanese Cuisine) at home. I admit it is a bit scary - I grew up on American fast food and top ramen. Thanks you for helping me understand what I'm doing and how to use ingredients.
FYI....I read that to give regular pasta that "RAMEN" flavor, add baking soda to the water that you boil the pasta in....Isn't that interesting? I haven't tried it but I think the pasta they were talking about was Angel Hair. Don't know amounts of baking soda either, but I would imagine it should be pretty generous.
@@starboard6372Just purchased the real deal! Not hard to find or that expensive.
Thank you for this. I feel like this is the starter pack for Japanese cooking. I can't wait to build up my pantry. I also liked that you went into detail about each item.
aww🙏♥️♥️ Thank you very much for your kind word Natasha!!Do you have an access to many of the items I showed??😄
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking I don't have it now, but I can get it from a store that's no too far away or Amazon 😆.
@@natashareese6854 Thank you !! Glad to hear that you have a store near you! I can't be appreciated enough to Amazon! haha
Thank you (from a non Japanese mom whose kids prefer mainly Japanese food)
haha!! It made me laugh because my kids love western style food like pasta and burgers😂we should do exchange student stay sometime 😁😁Thank you for your comment😄🙏
Actually, we are African but have been living in Japan for almost 10 years now. Not being able to read kanji, I buy those ingredients randomly. This video made everything clear. Thank you again
@@omjaoa oh you are living in Japan!! NO wonder your kids are familiar with Japanese food! so glad to hear that you have better understanding on mystery Japanese condiments! haha
thank you again!
Hi I am South Indian living in Singapore and my family loves Japanese food and to be honest I was scared to make Japanese cuisine at home cos all the japanese stores I have been to in Singapore just have the name of the product mentioned in product but no instruction on what are the ingredient or how to cook? Your video is like holding my hands and walking me through the different sauces. Thanks a million.
Arigato Miwa-San. This guide is excellent.
I'm glad it was helpful😍Thank You for your comment✨
More videos like this is appreciated.
I'd love to learn all aspects of Japanese cooking.
Thank you very much for your request and comment!!
Sa shi su se so, omg that’s ingenious!
yes! please try that😁♥️♥️Thank you Sara✨
I loved seeing how many different kinds of soy sauce and vinegars you have on hand!
Thank you Jen🙏✨✨Do you have access to some of the items I have?🥰✨
This is very helpful! In Germany it‘s hard to find the right ingredients. So it’s important to know the differences and details. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind comment Stephan!! I'm so happy to hear that you found this video helpful!! I would love to know what you want to see in the video & what you think it's useful, so please stay in touch! Feel free to leave the comment if you have any request!!
Thank You. Well Done!!! I learned a few things that i didn't know and now I do. I hope you are well. Blessings and have a good day.
Your English is excellent!😊👏🌹
Goodness, I needed this!!! I have no idea what I’m doing 🤣
Thank you, I am loving your channel and appreciate the realness you have kept in it 🙏🏼😍
thank you very much for your kind word Sara!!
Your voice is so sweet and relaxing ☺️
I have subscribed. I am learning how to cook food in the Japanese style because of how delicious it is, and because of the unhealthy nature of most American food. Since beginning my journey into Japanese cooking and condiments, my family and I are feeling better and enjoying food and flavors we have never tasted before. Thank you for these great videos!
This is very informative for us newer adventurers into Japanese cooking. I have already discovered Kokocares through your channel and have placed my first order.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I really enjoyed this and got good tips from this! Thank you! I'm married to a Korean, so a lot of these ingredients are must-haves in our kitchen, too. I really like how you stress that Rice Vinegar and Sushi Vinegar. SO many people think they're the same (and yes, first starting out, I was sincerely surprised the Rice Vinegar I put on my rice for Sushi wasn't what I THOUGHT it was LOL). I would say for any European or Mexican people watching, Tamari is rather like Maggi sauce (to ME, it's especially similar to the Jugo Maggi). Tamari adds a depths to non-Asian stews & beef dishes - give it a shot! In addition, we also have Guk - Korean Soup Soy Sauce, which is hard to explain but really IS awesome in soups. So anytime I'm cooking, BOY do I have to go through mental gymnastics to figure what to use and when LOL The Miso, too - Korean people eat it with Sushi, but generally use Doenjang. I love BOTH, so my soups are an equal mix of the two. ANYHOW... LOVE this videa and will share it! AND am subscribing!
I like your cooking. Japanese food is my favorite but I have never tried to cook.
Thank you very much for your comment Smita! this video is exactly for someone like you!! all the basic stuff to cover many Japanese food recipes! I hope you will try some of it one day!!
Here is the playlist of easy recipes!😊

i often found the key for Japanese food deliciousness and uniqueness is the taste those ingredients brings out. thank you
Thank you very much for your kind word !
Thank you, so much😊🌹
Much appreciated!
Have a lovely day.
Thank you so much for all of this info 🙋🏻♀️
all you dishes look soooo yummy 😋
I've just started my way into Japanese & Korean cooking. I am working in a Jap - Korean store and all the seasonings dancing around my face are inviting me to cook! 🍣🍙🍤🍥🍡🍛🍱 This is going to be a fun journey. Gambarimasu! Ikuzo!🔥🔥🔥
This is such a helpful video, thank you for explaining everything so well.
Thank you very much again for your kind word!!
As you said, this was only scratching the surface, but a very good scratch. Just what I need as a beginner, clueless about Japanese cooking, but very interested. The things you cooked in the video, looked simple, yet I could prepare nothing of it yet. I'm looking forward to discovering all of this on your channel!
Thank you very much for your many comments!! I understand it is pretty complicated to try new stuff! I hope some of my recipe will help you get starting!
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking It did help me get started. I made my first "real" miso soup last week and it turned out very good. Will definitely make more of those. Thank you!
Oh my looks yummy
Thank you so much for this information I am just beginning to cook Japanese food. I loved visiting your country and enjoy trying new foods. I love that they are full of flavour yet are so healthy to eat. Thanks again for your wonderful explanations. Now I have confidence to go and buy these products.
I'm so glad to hear that this video encourage you to try out some of the new ingredients! I thank you!
I am new to your channel and subscribed immediately !! Wow thank you for your patient explanations , very helpful ! A lot of the Japanese products are now available in Europe, so great to have a guide. Please tell us more about Daikon and how to use it as its now very popular in Europe and please explain us about the different Japanese mushrooms , arigatou!! Love from Europe 🌷💞
This is 3rd video from your chanel I see in this week and now I decided to subscribe. I saw many japanese chanels but your is so real, warm and you as a person are so cute and seem to be nice person. I love watching you cooking and rly like listening you talking about cooking. Good job. I wish you long life in good health, sunny 🥰
Hello Miwa-san. Thank you for this informative video. I’m happy to say I have all the condiments you mentioned and use them often.... especially shoyu. I mentioned last time I go to T & T to buy many ingredients but there is also a Japanese market called Fujiya that carries so many wonderful items but unfortunately is a little far to go to. I can’t wait for your next video 🙌🏼😊🇨🇦
Thank you very much for sharing the details Janet!! it's very helpful!! You live in such a convenient location where many items are accessible for you!! I'll definitely google two Japanese market you mentioned!!
Thank you! I just bought my starter ingredients. Very excited to learn all about has Japanese food
I'm glad to hear this!! Thank you!!
You seem like such a great soul. Thanks for this.
This is so informative! Glad I’ve found your channel. 😍
Thank you😆
Great video! I think you did a great job with this video! Great explanation to understand the different kinds of basic japanese staple condiments! It's amazing how having the right ingredients makes such a difference in japanese cooking. Your teaching has made such a difference in my kitchen as japanese cuisine is one of our favorites here in America😄
Thank you so much as always!!!! I wasn't sure if my video is informative enough since I'm only explaining basic stuff! your word encouraged me a lot! Like you said, knowing individual condiments better makes our kitchen life a little more enjoyable!!😉
All the food looks delicious!!!! I can’t wait to learn!!!! So excited about your channel!
I love this and am looking forward to you diving even more into your pantry. I’d love to see literally everything you use regularly or even only once in awhile lol. I also see many bottles of concentrated stock and flavoring for different dishes in the Japanese market, such as sauce to make oyakodon or soba tsuyu etc. I wonder if you ever use those as well ?
I never seen oyakodon tsuyu, but we do use soba tsuyu for many dishes!
Maybe I should make part 2 of pantry essentials . If not, I will try to show some at the end of the future video as a mini answering question time!
Miwa San! This video is very helpful...I didn’t know about the さしすせそtip from your mom. I will remember that for sure!
My family’s favorite miso is こうじ😋
Mika-san, this video is something you might already know! I'm glad to hear that you had something to take away!!
こうじ is my kids favorite too! It's very mild and slightly sweet😊 Is that what you used for your miso udon?
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking Miwa San! Yes, I used こうじみそ for the udon😋 I am going to have to make it again soon!
Hi from Australia, I have tried Japanese cooking a while ago and I felt better, I stoped as my mental health had a hit and I regression In not wanting to do anything so more process meal and they didn’t take any effort. I am trying to better my self so I am going back to my Japanese receipes. I stumbled across your site with essential Japan ingredients, so thank you. I will be watch more of your video to make sure I have variety in my diet. I have a wanderful Asia market near where I live. The lady in there is absolute beautiful and with a smile alway happy to help. I will also be returning to my Japanese language lessen so if I can watch more video in Japanese this will help as I believe sometimes things are lost in translation in the cc. The company rat you talk about does it deliver to Australia? Well off I go. Again thank you
Great video Miwa!! Thanks!
Thank you Deborah as always!! your words and support means a lot !!
Very educational, thankyou.
Thank you!!!!
Thanks for this helpful video! I am planning which ingredients to get, so I can cook many of your recipes!! My whole family will enjoy the food!
This was very helpful! Especially the info about sugar. I am not very fond of sweet sour flavours but now I understand sugar has other uses too, which will help me achieve better results in my dishes. Thank you! ♥♥
Thank you very much for your kind word Alice!! I'm glad to hear that you found something new from this video!!
Such helpful video! Thank u!!
Thank you very much!!! I'm glad you find it helpful!!!!
Thank you for recommending kokoro! I do miss Nihon! Thank you for all your great recipe ideas.
Thank you Jennifer🥰did you live in Japan? or traveled??😄
I lived there for about 5 years. I miss it very much!
@@jenniferedwards7862 5 years! wow that's quite a while👏✨✨come back in the future😁
Thanks you so much for this summary! I was surprised you didn't include dashi as an essential condiment. Was there a reason?
Thank you for sharing in such depth. Just to share. I use mirin too for my chinese cooking.
Thank you, you do a good job. ❤️
thank you very much for your kind word!!
I really loved this video!! Thank you Miwa!!❤❤❤
Sugar also helps to prevent food from going bad in bento. I can only get the dark soy sauce here, so I just use that. I would rather have access to more soy sauce options but are not discouraged by the fact I only have the dark soy sauce. Ponzu I also have to make myself (as I have to with many basic Japanese condiments/sauces) which I do by mixing 1:1 soy sauce and citrus juice and if I think about it I add a piece of dried kombu to the bottle. Hon mirin is hard to get but I only buy that one not the one labeled mirin fu.
Thank you very much for your additional valuable info!!! I respect your way of how you can be creative with limited ingredients! I think there are a lot to learn for many of viewers in this channel! also I'm learning a lot too! I will add the piece of kombu into my ponzu!! 😊
I’m excited to start cooking! 😊
Fantastic! 🤩
Thank you!!! I assume you might have all of them !!!
also, never kept soy sauce in the fridge like you mentioned
cool
thank you very much for your kind word!!
Thank you
Thank you very much you your kind word Aracne🙏✨✨

You did a great job with your limited English. Please continue to make these videos.
thank you very much for your kind word!!
Please tell about Vegan miso, vinegar and soy sauce options.
Thanks
I just went shopping, I live in Japan. But I wish I watched this before I went shopping.
Do you have any easy recipes I can make, with chicken preferably?
You found the right channel! Miwa san is AMAZING.
Thank you very much for your comment!!! I understand shopping in Japanese supermarket is very confusing! I hope my video will help a little!
Here are recipes with chicken!

@@MiwasJapaneseCooking Oh my God thank you! My boyfriend is Japanese and he helps me figure out ingredients more but he’s generally useless at cooking. I have some experience with Japanese cooking! I live in a part of Japan where Pork is popular (Miyagi) & I’m not too into pork! So this helps!
@@Gnasheress great to hear there is someone to help you in Japan 🥰I hope you will like this recipes⭐let me know how it goes if you make one ✨
Thank you for this helpful video! Greetings from Florida in the United States! :)
May I ask, do you have any suggestion for very nice sharp knives? Available online? I have just recently moved out of my moms house and I am beginning to learn how to cook every day for myself and my husband! I love your videos!
how exciting to start off new life with you loved one!!
Regarding knife, the one I use is only one I can recommend since I don't use others..... but I'm now on the process of selling this knife through the Japanese knife artisan which can be shipped to overseas!! so could you wait until I announce on this channel?
I just use erythritol swerve because I don't want to eat the calories from sugar I'd rather it be zero calories and it tastes the same basically
Thank you for the video Miwa! I am happy to say I most have these Japanese staples. There is an ingredient at my local market that interests me. It is a cute red panda bottle called ajinomoto. Do you use this in your cooking?
Thank you very much for your comment Azalea!
I don't have Ajinomoto since I'm not sure how exactly they are made. It's basically the umami powder made of sugar cane. if you sprinkle some on top of dishes, it's going to add the extra umami taste!
I just prefer to add umami by cooking wholesome food! just a personal preference though!! ^^
@@MiwasJapaneseCookingThank you for your outlook and how to use it. I think in most of my Japanese cooking I have other ingredients that contain umami naturally so I dont need Ajinomoto. It is a cute bottle though! Haha!
When visiting a friend of mine in St Cloud, he showed me his local Costco one of the things I couldn't resist buying was a bottle of Plum sake. I am curious what I can make with that and i saw this video. Let me know if there's a recipe in particular you recommend for a new beginner that wants to learn cooking some Japanese food with all the delicious looking food I've seen in anime.
What is the second fancy soy sauce?
Is there a Japanese type of Sugar you recommend?
Where is MSG? Is it common use in Japanese home cook?
Do you think using a sugar substitute like Splenda can still achieve the same results when cooking?
Is there a difference between rice wine and mirin?
❤❤❤
I love the EU but getting Japanese ingredients is a pain...
The only way i can get Misso is by buying packs of missosoups.
and i realy wanna try mochi i hear its delicious
awww sorry to hear....
I hope you can find some online!!
Awe! Those soup packs are often not very good. Mochi is very delicious. I’m in the states but live on the west coast and there is a local Asian market.
Where do you live? There are lots of asian markts in Germany.
What's the difference between mirin and sake?
Mirin is sweet. sake is not. both contains alcohol and made with different type of rice. 😉
Can you make more fish videos? I want to eat more fish but my husband hates fishy smell.
thank you very much for your request!
I'll pencil on my list!
Have you tried my miso butter salmon? you husband might like it since you don't taste much fishy smell!
ua-cam.com/video/QyzZjpJjKBw/v-deo.html
I want to buy nato, is there a brand that is better?
okame natto is pretty popular in Japan!
Hello, what kind of oil do you use to cook your food ?
I use rice oil and olive oil for cooking mostly. I have 3 more different kind of oils, but they are for salad.😊 thank you for asking!
@@MiwasJapaneseCooking thank you :)
Can’t find the kibisato sugar 🤷♀️
I use regular white sugar for cooking and it does just fine :) not exactly the same taste but close enough.
Heheheheheheheheheehehehehheeheheheheheheeheheheheheeheheheheheheheheheheeheheheeheheheheheheheheheheehehehehehehehehehehe
初めまして、ミワさん。このビデオ、ありがとう。私メルボルンに住んでいます。最近病気になって、砂糖を食べられません。そしてインド米しか食べられません。(;__;) 本当に和食が大好きで、何のrecipes が作れるかと考えています。I'll be grateful if you could point me to a few recipes that are low sugar or sugar free. Thank you.
