7 POPULAR JAPANESE DISHES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY JAPANESE

We've done 3 videos already on natto, a very traditional Japanese dish with no foreign influences. We decided to switch it up this time and make a video on Japanese dishes that a lot of people may think is traditional but is actually of foreign origins.

Most of these dishes came from the Meiji Peroid, shortly after Japan's national seclusion from the rest of the world.

1. Tempura
- tempura batter lighter, airier, crispier than other batters
- Portuguese merchants & missionaries before 17th century introduced the prototype for this cooking method
- Tempura came from the word latin word Tempora
- Over time, batter adjusted to maximise the Japanese seafood freshness. It got lighter and less fritter like.
- Some think the Indian pakora was picked up by the Portuguese and then to the Japanese which evolved into tempura.

2. Japanese Curry Rice
- Iconically Japanese, family dish mum would make often
- Less spicy, more sweet & more thick than other curries
- Meiji Period
- Introduced by British sailors and merchants, and they got it from India
- Adjusted to Japanese palettes over time
- Curry thickness comes from the French roux
- Essentially Japanese curry is an Indian dish introduced by the British Empire and adapted using French techniques!

3. Tonkatsu
- Breaded deep fried pork cutlet using Japanese panko breadcrumbs
- Sauce is like a thickened Worcestershire sauce
- Meiji Period
- Rengatei, a Tokyo restaurant in 1899, though to have created Tonkatsu
- Influences from Austria's Wiener or Viennese Schnitzel and Italy's Cotoletta alla milanese (Milan)

4. Hayashi Rice
- Similar to Japanese curry
- Beef, onions, button mushrooms & demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- Origins from western beef stews eg. Beef Stroganoff, Beef Bourguignon

5. Ramen
- From China
- Chinese traders in late 19th century introduced Lamien
- Lamien became Ramen

6. Hambagu Steak
- Japanese mince patty
- Demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- German roots: Hambagu Steak similar to Hamburg Steak
- Also similar to American Salisbury Steak

7. Omurice
- Japanese omelet with Japanese fried rice and ketchup / tomato sauce on top
- Similar roots to Tonkatsu, in fact exact same restaurant Rengatei
- Inspired from French omelet
- Also inspired by the Japanese Chakin-Zushi
- The creator combined these 2 ideas

Which of these popular Japanese dishes did you already know the foreign history of?
