Basic

I introduce basic essential condiments for Japanese food φ(￣ー￣ )

From Left to Right.

*SOY SAUCE-SYOUYU

   Nowadays, it can be safe to say that  soy sauce is available anywhere in the world!

   Any brand one should be fine but I recommend you to get at least some 

 JAPANESE  brand one, not CHINESE brand one o((＞ω＜o))

*COOKING SAKE-RYOURI SHU

   You can use white wine in place of SAKE.  

   They are usually available at Asian grocery shop.

*SWEET COOKING RICE WINE-MIRIN

  This is not necessary because you can use sugar if you don't have it.  

   Still, why not having one??

*BONITO STOCK―HON-DASHI

   This is ESSENTIAL!!

   My partner and I called this 'MAGIC POWDER' because once you use this, it turns to a      

   Japanese dish!! ((((((ﾉﾟ⊿ﾟ)ﾉ

*Mixed powder of salt, pepper and MSG―AJI-SHIO-  KOSYOU

   This is not necessary but it is useful if you have one.

   I bet every family in Japan has one at least.

Of course, when you cook, you may need other condiments as well like sugar, salt, pepper, MISO and stuff.

PS

Queensland is still under a sever condition.

I hope the Sun shows up and it dries water.
