Japanese cuisine is known for its minimal use of ingredients so foodies can relish the taste of every ingredient in the dish. Chefs and home chefs follow the philosophy of ‘washoku’ that emphasises the use of fresh ingredients, seasonal produce, captivating plating, and the use of delicate flowers to enhance the sensory and dining experience.
Any Japanese dish is an impeccable example of balancing sweet, savoury, spicy, sour, and umami flavours. Food enthusiasts living in Delhi can experience Japanese cuisine in the capital.
