Special Flavour for a Special Taste

The Japanese are a people widely known for their modesty in many things, including their meager use of spices.

Eating in Moderation for the World’s Longest Life Expectancy

These very interesting people from the Far East don’t actually use a lot of spices in their diet. This is because they do not want food to burden their digestive organs, liver, and kidneys.

The fact that the Japanese are known as one of the longest-lived nations in the world proves that such a diet has its merits; the average life expectancy of women in Japan is as high as 87 years!

Avoiding spices has proven to be a winning formula for them, which is not surprising given that people from the West are also aware that excessive salt causes high pressure, and extremely strong spices can cause unpleasant digestive symptoms. However, there are flavors and spices that even the Japanese cannot resist.

Palette of Special Flavors for Creating Umami

Sansho pepper, chili, teriyaki sauce, wasabi, spicy mayonnaise, soy sauce, marinated ginger, lemongrass, and shoyu sauce are typical spices of Japanese cuisine that evoke the spirit of traditional Japan with their scents and flavors.

They are mainly used to emphasize the taste of other foods with which they are combined or to contribute to their permeation with the aim of creating a unique fifth taste, which is primarily defined by fullness and comfort—the so-called umami.

Our chef has also recognized the benefits of using these spices, so they can be found in the dishes on our menu. If you want to taste them, our very delicious Agemaki Roll, Salmon Skin Roll, Spicy Tuna, Salmon RollPremium Raki and Nigiri Rose contain teriyaki sauce, spicy mayonnaise, and wasabi sesame.

If you want to discover the most pronounced flavors of distant Japan, we are ready to serve you the delicacies of our restaurant!
