Overview
Think Spanish tapas taken to the Far East—sushi bites, gyoza, tempura, the classic Japanese katsu sando, plus so much more. Useful presentation tips and advice and menu planning information is also included for foolproof entertaining.
Japas are Japanese snacks and simple dishes designed to be eaten alongside a drink. They are also know as otsumami in Japan. These small snacks are common at izakaya bars and at house parties in Japan—even if you are at home having a snack with your evening drink, you are still enjoying japas! There are countless delicious flavor pairings to be enjoyed, with small bites and dishes to tempt everyone, from existing devotees of Japanese food to new-comers keen to discover more. Popular ingredients such as dashi, ponzu, miso, soy, teriyaki, and more, all make an appearance in a myriad of mouth-watering morsels including dips, pickles, and salads, gyoza and tempura, sushi and sashimi, plus beautifully presented meat, fish, vegetarian, and vegan plates. Also included is a basic guide to Japanese beverages, and deliciously inventive cocktail recipes.
