Delicious Reduced Salt with Milk Magic

This time, we will introduce a menu of dairy washoku. Dairy washoku refers to a cooking method that combines traditional seasonings such as miso and soy sauce with milk, which has richness and umami, in order to reduce salt and dashi while preserving the original flavors and characteristics of the ingredients, allowing people to enjoy delicious Japanese cuisine.

It was quite difficult to connect milk with Japanese cuisine, but using milk, which is rich in calcium, other minerals, and B vitamins that we tend to lack, to create Japanese dishes was an eye-opening experience for us.

By using milk instead of dashi, which is essential for Japanese cuisine, we can reduce salt intake and focus on health in our daily diet. For this menu planning, we referred to the booklet supervised by Hiroko Koyama from the Japan Milk Association's "Let's Start Dairy Washoku" initiative.

・Milk Potato (Milk Powdered Sweet Potato Style) ・Potato Salad (Milk Potato + Sushi Vinegar) ・Milk Tonjiru ・Cottage Cheese Oyakodon
