[Immune power up information] Reviving Japanese food from a critical situation ③
[Immune power up information] We will introduce excerpts from past musubi magazines and books published by Seishoku Publishing. The 25th installment introduces the food education symposium "A rich dining table, Japanese cuisine to the future" from "Musubi Magazine September 5". (XNUMX times in total). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cookpad, a recipe site with 5 million hits per month Japan's largest cooking recipe site "Cookpad" (http://cookpad.com/).There are probably many readers who "know" or "use" it.At the symposium, most people raised their hands when the moderator asked, "Do you know anyone?" According to the editor-in-chief, Mr. Kusafuka, "XNUMX recipes submitted by the general public (at the time of the symposium) are stored. In addition to recipe submissions, a total of XNUMX recipes are being searched for each month. We have XNUMX users, mostly women in their XNUMXs and XNUMXs, and we can see the trends in cooking these days.”With XNUMX million monthly accesses, this site boasts a tremendous amount of support. If you look at the site, you'll see that they don't just post recipes that have been posted.It is also a place where users can post and exchange information, providing up-to-date information about seasonal vegetable dishes and food. There is also a section introducing Japanese recipes from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and recipes using local cuisine and special products from each prefecture. Mr. Kusabuka says, ``At this time of year, so-called seasonal jobs such as plum wine, bamboo shoots, and edible wild plants are still being searched. You can still see Japanese food culture in the search data, such as being searched." Recently, he has also started making videos, and expressed his desire to share traditional foods, saying, "I want to show not only popular recipes, but also how to peel bamboo shoots and how to make plum wine." .
Are there a surprising number of people who worry about side dishes?We are also considering proposals such as aemono Cookpad is generally searched by ingredients, menu name, etc.In the ranking of Japanese food menus, there are quite a lot of searches for "simmered dish", so at the time of the symposium, "simmered eggplant" was the most popular item. If more than XNUMX people refer to the recipe and send a report to the Cookpad site, it is called a "recipe inducted into the Hall of Fame", and boiled eggplant was happily inducted into the Hall of Fame. Mr. Kusabuka said, ``The fact that Japanese food has not gone out of fashion as much as we thought means that there are some things that have gone out of fashion.'' I explained that the third place is "pasta". The basic Japanese dish, ichiju sansai, consists of one main dish and two side dishes.Mr. Kusabuka explains why there are so many searches for salad, "Since you can find the recipe on Cookpad, even if you can make the main side dish, you may not know what to do with the other dish. Rather than wanting to eat salad, I want to put vegetables on the table. , I want to make another dish easily. At that time, I think the only word that comes to mind is salad.” Therefore, in the Cookpad editorial room, it seems that there are opinions such as suggesting cooking methods such as sesame dressing, mustard dressing, and white dressing.
