Il dizionario illustrato della cucina giapponese: lo trovate su Instagram

Siete in procinto di partire per il Giappone o avete semplicemente un’insana passione per la cucina nipponica?

Abbiamo il profilo Instagram che fa per voi. Si chiama Nihongo Flashcard e ha l’obiettivo di farvi imparare un po’ di giapponese, o almeno il lato food del giapponese.

Chi si reca nel Sol Levante rimane esterrefatto dalla ricchezza gastronomica del paese: non solo sushi - come detto più volte - ma piatti vari e tutti molto gustosi, compreso il celeberrimo street food.

マグロ (鮪・まぐろ maguro)・tuna | TIP: good maguro = good sushi☺︎ You can tell the relative rank of a sushi restaurant by the マグロ maguro that they offer since tuna loses its freshness quickly. #日本語 #nihongo #japanese #illustration #japan #japanesefood #tokyo #寿司 #鮨 #すし #sushi #nigiri #まぐろ #maguro #tuna

E allora, per essere autonomi o addirittura eccellere leggendo il menu di un ristorante nipponico, questo dizionario illustrato, che riproduce l’esatta pronuncia dei piatti giapponesi, è una manna dal cielo. Interessanti anche le didascalie di ogni foto che spiegano più nel dettaglio il piatto e gli aspetti culturali.
