Nabe
means pot. This dish is shared
with family and friends in
the middle of the table. It
is usually enjoyed in the
colder winter months. Seafood,
chicken, Tofu, and vegetable
are cooked in a broth. The
skin and bones of the seafood
and chicken are melted into
a gelatinous delicious mixture,
which enhances this dish.
The shell of the crab, shrimp,
and clams make the broth ever
more tasty. Vegetable tends
to sweeten in broth. These
are usually dipped in a ponzu
sauce (soy based sauce) and
garnished with green onions
and grated Japanese radish.
At the end of the meal, rice
is added to the broth to make
a porridge. These dishes are
very unique in taste and nutritious.
There are many different types
of nabe as shown in the pictures. |
