SUMMARY: "A donburi is a deep bowl. The bowl is filled
with rice, which is then topped with many types of tasty
treats. Change the topping and you change the name of
the dish. Slices of delicious beef give you gyudon. Top
the rice with a hot fusion of beaten egg, chopped
vegetables and chicken pieces, and you have oyakodon.
Whether at home or in a restaurant, donburi is a test of
the chef's skill with the sauces and soups that bring out
the characteristic flavor of each donburi variety. As
donburi combines the nation's ubiquitous staple--
steamed rice--with fuss-free toppings, it's a genuine
made-in-Japan fast food. Crowds of diners fill donburi
restaurants, attracted as much by the low price as the
great taste."--from NHK International web page.

SUMMARY: "A Japanese stew is a culinary cornucopia built
on a solid flavor foundation of soy sauce or salt. That big
ceramic pot steaming invitingly in the middle of the table
may contain potatoes, all kinds of vegetables, and any of
various fish or meat delicacies. People all over Japan
love gathering around a nabe stewpot. As the
ingredients change, so does the name. As the number of
diners increses, so does the size of the pot. A family
happily fishing for tasty nabe items was once a common
scene in a typical Japanese home, but these days stewseeking
families and company colleagues tend to go to
restaurants instead. Once th nabe arrives, the
conversation flows and bonds are strenthened. In some
locations, large numbers of poeple will gather to share a
feast from a cauldron!" -- NHK International's catalog.

SUMMARY: "Buckwheat (soba) has been cultivated in Japan
since ancient times, especially in areas where the soil is
too poor to support the production of rice. At first, soba
noodles are made from buckwheat flour, which is
kneaded and rolled out, then chopped into strands. After
being boiled briefly, the noodles may be served with
various seasonings, soups and sauces, some with a soysauce
base. Soba is one of the simplest of all Japanese
dishes. Different methods of making the flour and of
kneading the dough change the flavour of this delicate
food. Nowadays soba is among the nation's best-loved
dishes. In Japanese cities, office workers often seek out a
bowl of soba at lunchtime." -- NHK International's catalog.

SUMMARY: "Pieces of skilfully cut chiken threaded
carefully onto a wooden skewer and then grilled, often
after being dipped in a delicious soy-based sauce:
yakitori is one of Japan's most celebrated original dishes.
What really makes yakitori special is that virtually every
part of a chiken can be used to make it. Grilling chiken
on a stick looks easy, but in fact it requires the very deft
culinary skills that are so characteristic of Japanese
cuisine. The best yakitori is a product of expert grilling
and excellent sauce. Although yakitori is one of the most
popular dishes in Japan, it's rarely made at home; people
prefer to have an experienced chef make it for them.
Restaurants range from the very affordable and casual
eateries favored by homeward-bound office workers to
luxury establishments showcasing the skills of yakitori
maestros." -- NHK International's catalog.
