Japanese cuisine has become popular worldwide as it offers a rich amount of exotic flavors that are very appealing to the Mexican palate. Actually, Japanese cuisine is quite trendy in today’s lifestyle.
Nippon food goes far beyond the popular sushi, serving many unique and delicious dishes, such as simmering stews and tempura textures. Japanese cuisine complements the flavor with the variety and nutritional balance.
Two thousand years ago, and up to less than a century ago, alien to the Western world and its popular cuisines, Japanese cuisine honored the flavors of rice from the Chinese territories and seafood, especially raw, from the sea.
The Japanese Cuisine in Mexico
In the 80’s the Japanese cuisine made a great leap to America with the famous Sushi. These pieces of rice stuffed or covered in fish, caught the attention of the most prestigious chefs. All this, without noticing the impact that this dish represented for the, until that moment, exclusive and exotic Japanese cuisine.
Not only from the Sushi were the minds of the great chefs nurtured, but other dishes were also the perfect excuse to start making this a tradition, to embrace for the cultures of the world. This unchained the madness, a fever that reached delusions, that the food fanatics, known as Foodies, came to call “kitchen con-fusion”. Today this is one of the most unexpected and rich fusions known to world; the fusion of Mexican and Japanese cuisine.
The unexpected fusion
From this moment on, the import of Japanese products into the country has greatly impacted in the flavors and textures of fusion cuisine. However, the most exemplary task comes on the perfect balance between the flavors of both countries, which from the start, have no similarities whatsoever.
