The dish is "Kei-chan".

"Kei" means chicken in Japanese. "Chan" is a nickname in Japanese.

According to one theory, the Chinese character "Jan", which stands for soy sauce, has changed.

The reason is that by soaking chicken in an ancient Japanese fermented seasoning, it has the effect of softening the taste as well as stain it.

It is a dish in which chicken is soaked in seasoning for about 3 hours and　stir fry with vegetables.

Since around 1960, local butcher shops and taverns have improved independently, and it has become one of the town revitalization as a local B-class gourmet.

In addition to Kei-chan, we also make rice cooked with mushrooms.

 

 

 

It is a simple dish that you cook with the ingredients and seasoning together.

We also make simple pickles of cucumber.

“Any Time New Year” program

osechi
Let's have an interesting Japanese culture! “Osechi” is one of “Washoku” traditional Japanese cuisine. “Washoku” was added to UNESCO’s Intangilbe Cultural Heritage list in 2013. “Osechi” is the special traditional cuisine for the New Year’s Day. We also call it “osechi-ryori”. Its dishes are packed beautifully in layers of lacquer boxes called “jubako”. The kinds of osechi-ryori dishes prepared at Japanese homes vary from region to region. Each dish that makes up osechi-ryori has a special meaning such as good luck, happiness , health, wealthy, long life, good harvest, prosperity, and so on. For example, prawns represent long life, kuromame(cooked sweet black beans) mean health, tazukuri(sweet fried sardines) to a good harvest and kurikinton(sweet chestnuts and mashed sweet potato) to happiness. Traditionally people finish preparing osechi dishes by New Year’s Eve so that they have food for a couple of days.

 

TV clues came to my house!
Washokuju-Sakura was introduced by Tokai TV program"News One". Famous TV anchor came to experience "Any Time New Year Program". Thankfully he and I enjoyed a lot
