Japanese food from the drama, midnight kitchen, shinyashokudou (深夜食堂)

Shinya shokudo is one of japanese dramas from TBS

It's genre is food, human drama and comedy

 

 

 

Short descriptions about this drama is like below

 

 

Set in a small restaurant in the corner of a shopping district. The unusual eatery is only open after midnight, and its standard menu consists of just a single choice. However, the customers still come for the amusing chatter and the proprietor's willingness to cook any dish that they request. This drama depicts the lives of the restaurant's patrons, including a yakuza, an unsuccessful actor, a group of office ladies, a newspaper delivery boy, and a stripper. --Tokyograph 

 

 

 

 just like from the descriptions, there only three limited menu.

But in this drama, there is always different food from every episode.

The policy of this restaurant is that the chef cook the requested food from customer if the chef can make the food right away

 

So I could learn a lot of japanese food from this drama.

At the restaurants, we usually drink like this with this kind of bottle. I like this atmoshere :)

 

Makgeolli is an alcoholic beverage native to korea. It is made from a mixture of wheat and rice, which gives it a milky, off-white colour,and sweetness.

 

Here is a picture of a bowl of dong dong ju which is kind of makgeolli

Dongdongju is a drink very similar to makgeolli, and both are commonly imbibed alongside Korean pancakes such as pajeon or bindaetteok.

 

 

Here's the picture of pajeon

Normally, korean drink makgeolli like this with pajeon.

 

 

If you've never been to korea, you would probably not be aware of a variety of delicious Makgeolli

For example, there are strawberry, grapes, peach (and much more!) flavour makgeolli in korea, and all of them taste amazing!!!

 

But at least I can post how to make makgeolli much more delicious.

 (even if it is not strawberry or grapes flavour)

 

I will introduce more on next posting.


Here's the recipe for delicious makgeolli on my blog

My favourite one is "The onigiri" and I would like to introduce that store.

Casdose (カスドース), the evolution of Castella from nagasaki

This post refers to korean TV program documentry, "Food Odyssey", KBS


Japan is the first country where accept western bread.
They have a unique kind of bread,
which is "CASDOSE"



It is made of a lot of eggs.
Casdose is very similar to castella, one of bread representing japan.
600 years ago when eggs and sugar were valuable , casdose created.

Castella is the base of casdos.
First, this is the procedure of makig castella in Nagasaki, Japan

 

 

After castella has made, cut the castella like the photo below,

and prepare eggs, sugar syrup and sugar.

Soak those castella in the eggs to coat them

 

 

 

After coat castella with eggs

 

 

 

 

Coat them in the sugar syrup

 

 

Scoop out them from sugar syrup

 

 

 

and mix with sugar

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was really precious and luxurious high - class dessert at first.

This shows how the bread which is meals for western countries, can become luxurious desserts in eastern countries.
