Hello, how are you all doing? Here we will introduce delicious food from Japan.
【history】
“Donburi” is a uniquely Japanese dining culture that is said to have spread from the late Edo period to the Meiji era. Originally, the style of “quickly eating a bowl of rice topped with various side dishes” became popular among townspeople, and it established itself as a convenient ‘quick and tasty’ meal for busy craftsmen and travelers. From the Meiji period onward, donburi dishes began to be served in restaurants, and classic varieties such as tendon (tempura rice bowl), katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl), and oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) emerged one after another.
【characteristic】
The charm of donburi lies, above all, in its ‘convenience’ and ‘satisfaction.’ Just by placing ingredients on top of rice, it becomes a complete dish.
１．A good balance where one bowl provides both the staple and the main dish
２．Easy to make in a short time
３．The flavor seeps into the rice, making it ‘delicious until the last bite
４．A classic Japanese dish enjoyed both at home and in restaurants
