\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u306f\u3053\u3061\u3089<\/a> Sa: Satou \u7802\u7cd6 – \u3055\u3068\u3046 (Sugar)<\/a> Sugar grains are large so it takes time for the flavor to fully set in. For sweetened dishes, this is the first thing to go in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salt grains are on the smaller side so the flavor sets in easily. It also has the effect of drawing moisture out of other ingredients. This prevents the other ingredients’ flavors from setting in properly, so make sure to put salt in after sugar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vinegar is weak against heat so if it\u2019s added too soon the acidity will disappear. It\u2019s even more guilty of preventing flavors from setting in than salt. Remember to add it after the salt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n First some trivia! In early times of Japanese, \u201cshou\u201d was written as \u201cseu\u201d which is why \u201cse\u201d is used to represent \u201cshouyu\u201d (soy sauce). Soy sauce loses its flavor when exposed to heat so it\u2019s best to add it towards the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat happened to the \u2018mi\u2019?!\u201d you ask? Don\u2019t panic! Don\u2019t get mad! Everybody, keep calm! It turns out that in ancient Japanese \u201cmiso\u201d was simply called \u201cso\u201d, which is why we use \u201cso\u201d here to represent miso. To those of you who got the answer right, you must be quite the connoisseur of Japanese cuisine!
Hi there! Can you believe it\u2019s already May!? Well, anyways, it\u2019s time for yet another edition of the popular (or so I\u2019d like to believe) AIUEO blog! It is now our third run through the cycle! Today\u2019s theme is a Japanese word that begins with \u201cSa\u201d… and the word is \u201cSashisuseso\u201d! And no, I\u2019m not just getting desperate (lol). These five syllables actually hold the secrets behind the ever so delicious Japanese cuisine!
When you think of seasonings used in Japanese Cooking, you’d probably think of the usual soy sauce and salt. If you were to add both to your pot, which would you add first? The order in which you add these seasonings actually changes the resulting flavor. The word \u201cSashisuseso\u201d is used to help you remember the proper order! Now, let\u2019s dive into the meaning behind each syllable to help you unlock the secrets behind cooking great Japanese dishes! We’ll find out exactly why this order is so important!

Miso also tends to lose its flavor when exposed to heat so add it at the very end and enjoy its aroma.
If you usually make your own miso soup, starting today try giving it a taste before it boils!
