The true essence of white rice: Create perfect harmony!

🍚How to Enjoy White Rice at Its Best🍚


①　Take a bite of plain white rice first, but don’t swallow it yet.

　

②　While the rice is still in your mouth, try adding a bit of your side dish.

　

③　The rice and side dish blend together in your mouth, creating a perfectly balanced 　　flavor—just like a single, harmonious dish.

　
④　Chew a little, then add more white rice to adjust the flavor and richness to your liking.

The order in which you eat is totally up to you.
The key to enjoying white rice is creating harmony inside your mouth.

　・White rice → Meat → Harmony

　・White rice → Meat → Vegetables → Harmony

　・White rice → Fish → Salad → Harmony

　・White rice → Salad → Fish → A bit of miso soup → Harmony

If white rice dries out your mouth, try following it with some miso soup or simmered dishes.
Not only does this make it easier to eat, but it also creates a new layer of flavor harmony. ✨

You might wonder, “Can something this simple really make it taste better?”
But even Japanese people don’t usually eat plain white rice without side dishes.
The stronger the flavor of the side dish, the more delicious the rice becomes.

Adjust the balance based on your own taste preferences.
This experience might just help you understand why rice is the staple of the Japanese diet. Give it a try!
