Don't Love Sushi? A Guide to Teriyaki and Tempura Cooking

Sushi is a favorite among many Japanese restaurant guests—but not everyone loves this traditional Japanese treat! You don’t have to go hungry when you dine at one of the many wonderful Kabuki restaurants, because we offer a variety of great teriyaki and tempura options:

Teriyaki

• This term refers to both the style of cooking used as well as the sauce used to enhance the flavors of various types of meat and fish. Teriyaki is a popular style in Japanese cuisine, providing the perfect alternative for any diners who aren’t interested in trying sushi, sashimi, or rolls. Different types of meat and fish, such as beef, chicken, and salmon, are marinated in a teriyaki sweet soy sauce and then are either grilled or broiled. Here at Kabuki, you can find a variety of delicious teriyaki options to try on our popular Japanese menu. This includes classics like chicken, beef, or salmon teriyaki, as well as an assortment of combination plates and Boat entrée specials.

Tempura

• This term refers to a special final step in the cooking process that is used to transform a number of classic and popular dishes. Tempura options are lightly-battered and deep fried after being prepared. Ingredients such as fresh fish and vegetables can be enhanced and provide a better blend of flavors after being deep-fried tempura style. Unlike other frying styles, tempura-style frying gives foods a lighter taste and flavor, and does not produce the same grease that other fried foods may produce. Here at Kabuki, you can try our tasty shrimp and vegetable tempura or one of our combinations, such as chicken teriyaki with shrimp and vegetable tempura or tonkatsu with shrimp and vegetable tempura.

You can enjoy many more delicious teriyaki or tempura dishes when you eat at one of of Kabuki’s many great locations. Check out our website to start learning more about our Japanese restaurant and fabulous menu!

What Does that Mean? Understanding the Vocabulary of Sushi

Sushi is currently one of the most popular food items in the world. As a result, you can find a Japanese restaurant or sushi bar in nearly every town in America. But if you want to enhance your sushi experience (and impress your dinner guests at the same time), then you should learn to talk the lingo of sushi. To help you broaden your sushi knowledge, here is a look at some of the most common words you will encounter on the menu at a sushi bar:

• Nigiri-zushi – This is perhaps the best-known variety of sushi in the world. Nigiri-zushi consists of a piece of seafood placed on a finger of lightly vinegared rice and seasoned with a dab of wasabi. The fish is typically served raw, although some seafood varieties are sometimes cooked.
• Maki-zushi – Maki-zushi are the sushi rolls that you are most likely familiar with. Sushi rice and various ingredients are rolled in nori (dried seaweed) and cut into small slices. Some of the most popular varieties of Maki-zushi include the California roll, spicy salmon roll, rainbow roll, and avocado roll.
• Sashimi – Sashimi refers to a particular style of Japanese seafood. Essentially, sashimi is an assortment of sliced raw fish served on a platter with shredded radish and other garnishes. Sashimi dishes are subtle, yet flavorful, and focus on the natural flavors of each fish. For this reason, sashimi dishes are typically served as an appetizer with drinks.
• Chirashi – Chirashi is a traditional Japanese dish that you will find at most sushi bars. It consists of sashimi and chopped vegetables arranged over a bowl of rice. Depending on the size of the bowl and the quality of ingredients, Chirashi can either be served as a small appetizer or a set meal.
