Devil's Tongue Kills 17 in Japan
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Japan in 2008 was upset by a child death in September, when one-year-old boy choking on a piece of a language that was jelly devil. Glucomannan, which is the Latin name for the devil's tongue, also known as Mannan konjac, konjac, elephant yam, voodoo lily, snake palm Konjaku. The Japanese word for glucomannan is konnyaku.
This was the devil speaking to 17 deaths since 1995, the beginning of the frequently seen pattern of evasion, avoidance, denial or Complain followed by capitulation. We more often see a pattern with politicians caught in the act, or talk without thinking. Tourism and Transport Minister Nariaki Nakayama has only one other example, when he spoke to reporters in September 2008, stating that the Japanese were "ethnically homogenous" and "... you will not like or desire foreigners". It 'came soon after.
After the Japanese boy from suffocation, the pattern was. L '> Japanese government announced the 17 fatal accidents, especially those of younger and older living manna, met and called for a recall. manna life is one of the largest companies that have gelatin. The company said that the warnings that said that the product is not suitable to improve for children and the elderly. Just over a week after manna production life and times of delivery stopped.
Devil's tongue jelly, such as konjac Konjac jelly sweets and is known to havealso caused deaths in North America and Europe, which allowed it to be. Konjac jelly, unlike regular gelatin, not melt on the tongue. Chewing is necessary to break up the jelly, so that the bite-sized products harmful if swallowed whole. Since then, some devil's tongue jelly products on the market increased in size. They can no longer swallowed up in one piece and are appropriate warning signs.
Konnyaku is a traditional Japanese food, theno risk in most of its forms, including grizzly found large blocks of Oden and Oden in the gray noodles, sukiyaki and gyudon (beef bowl) found. Konnyaku is mostly water and glucomannan, a fiber, contains almost no calories, making it popular among people interested in health and diet.
Konnyaku comes from the konjac plant that grows in China, Japan, Korea, e. Sometimes referred to as a potato, sweet potato and tubers, called konjac tubers actually grows.A tuber is a short thick stem underground storage of food. Vegan substitute for gelatin as konjac.
Devil's tongue is not the only deadly food in Japan. According to the Ministry of Health, 4407 people died from choking on food in Japan in 2006. language of the devil, not even among the top four. Mochi, rice is the weight, was number one, and was followed by rice, bread and rice porridge. About 85% ofThe deaths were elderly people. While the media rarely rice, bread and rice pudding as a threat to food life, the media, especially the mochi deaths, all before the New Year, many deaths occur as the mochi.
Unlike Devil's tongue jelly, have taken no steps to stop the consumption of Mochi. European, Japanese and all expect their governments to protect their jelly tongue against the devil and the government acted, the Americans. At least 17 people have died since1995th During the same period, consumption of just mochi deaths were at least hundreds in Japan.
The government has not made a decision, abroad, to protect Japanese citizens, residents and visitors. Devil's tongue jelly does not have the same support Mochi, cutting-edge products to cause cancer and heart disease, unsafe vehicles and drivers, traffic accidents and other risks that we have in our daily lives. We can expect protection, in which we have littleit. In other areas, we should not expect protection because they do not understand. Warranty.
Japanese Cuisine, Part One - Teppanyaki
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Japanese food to people a bit 'a mystery to many, and there are many who think that it consists only of raw fish, something that would never eat what they want. Well, the good news is that there are many different types of Japanese cuisine, and most of them involve cooking.
In fact, if you live in an area of fresh fish, access to real Japanese restaurants in your city struggles to provide high-quality sushi and sashimi, thecommon forms of Japanese cooking oil. This is because, sushi and sashimi is dependent on both the high quality fish and fresh fish. A real sushi or sashimi-lover would turn up their nose at a judge who was not only prepared with the freshest fish.
But that's okay, because the vegetables are many other forms of Japanese cuisine, and that depends on the talent of the chef and the ingredients are expertly prepared shrimp, beef, fish, shellfish.These ingredients are used in a wide variety of styles, including tempura cooking sukiyayi, teppanyaki, hot pot, shabu and above.
Probably one of the most popular designs for Western audiences is teppanyaki grill, as it includes meat, vegetables and seafood are the most commonly used. This type of cooking is what lies at the famous Benihana chain, for example, even if these restaurants are also a show will be treated as if the chef had prepared the dishes.
This is becauseTeppanyaki is for large tables, which are basically flat metal grill prepared with the space around them in a sort of agreement. Customers are literally sitting in front of the cook and watched as he prepared the dishes. This provides guests with a show and a meal as much fun as you can see the chefs actually cooking. This aspect of Teppanyaki is undoubtedly one of the reasons why it is a popular form of Japanese cuisine.
I warn you, however, thatNot all Japanese restaurants have teppanyaki tables. Smaller companies can not because these tables are both very expensive and large, need lots of space. Smaller Japanese teppanyaki restaurant is more likely to cook meals in the kitchen. This does not mean that food is as good taste, just not be able to experience how pleasant.
Typically, you get the items you want from the menu on the grill and maybe even what kind ofPreparation also because a variety of sauces are sometimes used. Beef, fish and vegetables - depending on the restaurant you can watch pig or chicken on the menu, as well as the standard. Some restaurants are some of the higher level of exotic varieties of Japanese Wagyu or Kobe beef. These are the types of premium meat is very rich, tender and tasty and a bit 'more expensive, even the best forms of American and Australian beef. IfAre you a big fan of beef, but you owe it to yourself to try them out, as the taste experience is worth it. Just do not eat too much, though, as they are to grow very rich because of extensive fat.
This is just a brief look at the Teppanyaki, one of the most popular forms of Japanese cuisine, and one that every Japanese restaurant in a form almost. It 's also a great example of Japanese cuisine is cooked, not raw, so someone must be happywith the order.

Fugu - Dare to eat, the Japanese delicacy
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Can you imagine that food could be more deadly than a delicacy? No bluff, its true. The Japanese are the pioneers in the production of Fugu, a court teradoxin prepared puffer fish known to contain lethal amounts of poison. Speaking of deals, the dish is too expensive and can be fatal if not properly. If you are the restaurant for this dish, to ensure that adequate cash. You can also get the chance to fish the ball out of the river, whenThey kayak anchor kayak or linen, but without the art of cooking is not in use. So do not even try to cook for themselves.
Throughout history, there are cases where people wanted to use the East Asian region, this fish, with catastrophic consequences. The poison can paralyze the body so that victims can not make progress, but is forced to endure all the pain in silence until he / she dies. Other symptoms are dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea andsevere breathing difficulties.
is the person who dares to eat the fish without a kitchen to work after death, death more painful. The victim remains unconscious throughout the ordeal of paralysis of the muscles, which then lead to suffocation and death. The most dangerous part is that there is no known antidote that can suppress the effect of this potent killer. The only way is to empty the stomach and feeding the victims of coal along with the recruitment of otherlife support measures to ensure that the victim remains alive. What happens is, coal effectively prohibits any poison that remains in the gut. But thanks to the Japanese, this is not necessary. What was time to eat puffer fish to an art form.
This Asian cuisine will be prepared according to strict principles of a qualified chef. The chef has to undergo several tests for certification. In the preparation of fugu, he uses a special knife called fugu Hiki. With the knife,, A higher percentage of meat extract and remove the poison from him. One might ask why the poison can not be eliminated by heat during cooking. This is because teradoxin is stubbornly resistant to heat so the heat of cooking can not cover the damage caused to the poison.
In addition, the professional art of cooking this dish is the cook, a certain amount of venom left on purpose. This makes it very tasty and of its kind when you eat fish expertly cooked, your lipsnumb and tingling. It 's just a small amount of poison that caused this feeling.
Fugu now only as a delicacy, as it has become a food category. The way is prepared and served in restaurants makes it absolutely safe for consumption. It also offers varieties such as sashimi, Milt, fry, stew and salad Fugu. All varieties are simply delicious, but do some people fear. For all these people there is good news that some non-poisonous varietythe fish are preserved with aquaculture. This is done by restricting the diet of the fish. However, the good thing that they said the same tastes.
What Japanese cooking knives so special?
Image : http://www.flickr.com
All over the world every day kitchen knives are used almost every family. They transcend cultures, cuisines and continents, and is one of the important symbols of universal kitchen and food preparation. Backdrop, one might expect this pre, a little more 'variety in the design of kitchen knives in various countries, but in reality the style is often determined the knife forger French, British and German dominates. The West has solid metal, steel knives with a piece that willMost, but not always as good as traditional designs.
However, there is a country that produces only in certain categories of unique design of kitchen knives, knife, the kitchen must be further developing their best cuisine. Being Japanese design approach appears to be the only country that has its own, most of which need to slice raw fish finely and theme nights raw vegetables very quickly.
The sushi knife that isstill rarely seen outside of raw fish in Japan is designed to drive (or other marine animals!), so fine and without sticking to the blade, is provided with a degree of arc sections on frequently to avoid keeping the intake of 'poetry is air, on surfaces blades are very smooth.
The Santoku knife, on the other hand, a similar bit 'more with a knife, the cook western Europe, although it can also have a few sheets of clippings on it. In cases where the knife - the Santoku - differsHowever, the style and finish of the actual cutting itself. Instead of being rounded at the top allow a blade round, is almost flat along the edge of the blade. Although this makes it very difficult to imitate the actions in Western-style hack (where the tip of the knife cutting tends to stay on), it is very suitable for Japan, the other kind of hacking in All Santoku literally lifts horizontallyChopping back and that gives a cut along the line still being cut.
So, after it determined that the design of these knives so special, it is also important for production quality and finesse that goes into forging the blade. Since the feudal times - and probably beyond - Japan was famous for their swords. This tradition - but it started - has given rise to a large number of forged steel forging and folding blades makeas possible. Of course, this original tradition, something we have subsided in the Age of Enlightenment, but the story remains.
There are forgers almost 200 years ago, but those who remained so some of the finest - and most difficult - Kitchen knives known to man. In combination with carefully selected with a simple design, the Japanese kitchen knife is really something to see.
