Ozoni is a traditional Japanese soup dish which contains rice cakes and root vegetables ingredients, and it is usually eaten in the New Year.
It is said that ozoni finds its roots in samurai society cuisine. It is thought to be a meal that was cooked during field battles, boiled together with rice cakes, root vegetables and dried foods, among other ingredients.
The ingredients vary from region to region in Japan.
The most common shape of rice cake for ozoni soup is a rectangle in East part of Japan. In the Kanto region and Tohoku region, the rice cakes are cut into squares and grilled before being added to the stock. In the Kansai region and the Chugoku region, a round, boiled rice cakes is generally preferred. In most of the Kyushu region, a round rice cakes is popular, but grill-boil difference changes depending on area.

The taste of soup is also varied depending on the region. In many regions including the Kanto region, ozoni consists of a clear soup called sumashi-jiru which is flavoured with dashi, a stock made from flakes of dried bonito and/or kombu, and soy sauce. In the Kansai region and eastern Shikoku, ozoni is made with a stock of white miso, while ozoni in the part of Fukui Prefecture is made with a stock of red miso. In the Tottori-Izumo region, a variety of red bean soup is used for 0zoni.
Common additions to the soup include chicken, fish or meatballs; leafy vegetables such as komatsuna or spinach, kamaboko such as naruto and carrot flakes for colour, and flakes of yuzu peel for its citrus fragrance. Regional specialties are often added.
Eating the very chewy and elastic rice cake with soup, we wish for good luck through the year.

Tsukemono are Japanese-style pickled vegetable.
Typical vegetables used for pickles are cucumber, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, Japanese radish and others. Vegetables are pickled in a variety of ways including using salt, salted rice-bran paste, and fermented soybean paste called miso. Pickled method differs depending on local customs · products · climate etc. It takes a long time to make the distinctive taste of that region.

Each Japanese restaurant has its own Dashi, or soup stock, which forms the foundation for its taste.The quality of soup stock is determined by the right balance of bonito taste, sweetness, flavor, acidity, richness and fragrance. Preparing high quality Dashi is a very delicate and difficult process in Japanese cuisine.

If it is a Dashi pack, it can be cooked easily.

Dashi pack is a Japanese soup stock, which is made from katsuo-bushi (dried bonito) flakes, kombu (dried kelp), niboshi (dried small sardines), hoshi-shiitake(dried shiitake mushrooms), and more. Dashi pack is very smart product. It keeps flavor very close to real DASHI stock and reduce the trouble of filtering.
 

When you prepare the dashi stock conventionally with bonito flakes and kelp, you must strain the stock which requires holding a large pot in hand.

When the pot is large, holding and straining it with 80℃ of stock is a difficult task.
With our “Dried Bonito Dashi Pack”, making soup stock is made simple by just boiling it with the pack for 5 to 10 minutes. Also, it is clean without mess, just throw out the dashi pack after preparation.

Japanese water is soft containing small amount of calcium and magnesium, but there are many regions in the world with hard water. When dashi stock is conventionally prepared with hard water, it has the tendency to produce weaker fragrance, cloudy color, bland taste and accentuated bitterness in comparison to when using soft water.

Dashi pack has bonito extract coating on the ingredients, so the bonito flavor, richness and fragrance is concentrated. This excellent product will enable a chef to produce golden dashi stock anywhere in the world regardless of water type.

Highly recommended Dashi pack
