Fish day in Tokyo.
Fish day in Tokyo.
In the last century
Japanese, according to the official statistics, have grown more than on 10
It see Also quite naturally - the world acceleration. But here that
Curiously: if in other countries the population together with growth upwards
Promptly typed and in breadth, at Japanese of it has not occurred. At
The nations almost ideal parity of growth and weight. Judge: in
1900 of the man of islands at average growth of 160,9 sm weighed 53
Kg (women - 147,9 sm and 48 kg), and in 1999 Japanese have risen
To an average 171,9, having typed 65,8 kg (Japanese of 158,6 sm and 50,6 kg).
To explain it it is possible first of all a healthy way of life of the nation and
Features of its food.
Japanese cuisine already in itself sight. Rice,
Vegetables, fish, seafood - its main components. Later from
Chineses have borrowed noodles, at Europeans - bread. But it not
Has changed radically basic principles of a food.
Most of all Japanese appreciate in products freshness and naturalnost,
Therefore prepare so that to save and underline the natural
Taste of each component.
Them quite often name "syroedami". Cut by thin slices
Crude fish - sasimi, seasoned with very "malicious" local horse-radish
vasabi, - favourite meal in each house. Well-known susi -
Rice lumps all with the same fish or others just
The caught inhabitants of the seas - prepare, as a rule, during week-end
And on holidays. "It for us a delicacy" - is specified by Japanese.
On consumption of fish inhabitants of islands, certainly, among the world
Leaders. By data all the same statistics, the country markets sell
Seafood twice more than meat. And with the advent of the information about
The cow furiousness beef consumption, and at the same time pork and
Mutton, in general it was sharply reduced.
By the way, the fish markets of Tokyo are well-known not less, than theatres
Kabuki or temples and palaces of Kyoto. On the markets even tourists drive.
However, in advance warn about some inconveniences.
That
To feel colour of the market, here it is necessary to arrive in five mornings.
Clear business, it is necessary to take care and of clothes - in evening
Toilet on similar early excursion it is better not to go. But
But rubber boots for tourists - always available. Curiously,
That in local shops footwear of the big sizes, on quite
To the natural reasons to find difficult enough. In clothes
The markets of boots of 44th, 45th, even 46th - how much you want.
It is difficult to describe sensations which you test, pacing lengthways
Kilometre numbers with moving octopuses, shrimps and
Interrogatively looking at you from aquariums poisonous a fugue.
Fugue - both pride of a Japanese cuisine, and its ill fate. Annually
Tens people perish, otkushav bony meat of this fish. Not
Everyone even in Japan knows, how it correctly to prepare. And in
Ridge of fish contains nervnoparalitichesky the poison capable
Instantly to poison the person. The government has accepted even
The special decree, forbidding to prepare a fugue without the licence... But
It is difficult to explain predilection of local cooks for this floating
"To Russian roulette". It is visible, all business in character of Japanese,
Fatalists inherently.
Yes, the world of Japanese is their world in which foreigners to be entered
Uneasy. You feel it even in the market. On come here for the sake of
Anybody of attention does not turn exotic of Europeans. Sellers
Are engaged in the usual affairs: freshen water "live"
Counters, undress tushki, weigh red caviar. It is possible
To stop and even to touch any cuttlefish. You
As if is not present! However it is necessary to appear to the mistress with a string-bag - all number
Revives. Sellers suffice from the moving weight that will get under
Hand and, outvoicing each other, are outweighed through a counter,
As if endeavouring to fly up. But as soon as the woman has stopped before
Any of dealers, the others instantly cease and again
With an indifferent kind plunge into the economy.
But the most interesting in the market - fish auction. On him
"The large goods" are on sale. Basically a tuna. Prior to the beginning of auction
To buyers give possibility to meet with ulovom.
The beginning of the auctions announces
Rising vanity. Even in a century of computers they pass on
starinke. The auctioneer in round points with a leaf in hands approaches to
To each fish. He says the words quietly. Buyers,
On the contrary, desperately gesticulating and shouting, try to intercept
The goods each other. So the procession goes from a tuna to a tuna. On
To the sold fish a marker put number of the buyer or his name.
Poses - behind "extraction" there will arrive the porter and on old-fashioned narrow and
To the long cart will bring mnogopudovuju tushku to the car...
Japanese eat basically fresh fish and buy it on
The markets, instead of in shops. After auction of tourists try
To take away in hotels as with this moment in numbers begins
Original chaos. And hours per eleven markets become empty. To
Next morning.
Surprisingly, but walk on the market does not interrupt appetite.
On the contrary, all these crabs, shrimps, mussels, squids,
Octopuses and even terrible fish a fugue it would be desirable to try.
As in any city of the world, in Tokyo there are the "fast fudy".
Certainly, it both ubiquitous "McDonald's" and pizzerias. But is
Snackbars with national colour. For example, "susichnye".
Especially it is a lot of them in area Sibuja where mainly lives
Youth which has just begun an independent economy.
The input in one of such institutions had a turn. Toiling in it,
It was possible to read announcements for visitors on Japanese and
English. One explained, that everyone susi - 100 yens (nearby
One dollar). Another nearby informed: to pay off everyone
The client should not less than for seven susi. To eat, of course, you
Can, though one-two, but pay on a minimum of 700 yens. For
bolshee quantity of the discount are not given. And, at last,
Last signboard reminded already our, domestic public catering.
The strict inscription said: "Dear visitors, in view of the big
Quantities of clients consume food as soon as possible. In ours
Institution norms are established: 7 susi it is necessary to eat for 20 minutes, 7 -
10 for 30 minutes ". It is what is the time taken away on bolshee quantity,
It has not been written. Has put, probably, that the normal person
Can eat 4 - 5 susi. Having pushed in themselves 7 pieces, gorge on to
Sailing. And ten - perhaps, already a gluttony.
The turn moved quickly. When our turn, the owner has come also,
Smiling broadly and bowing, has shown to us once again on all signboards and
Has enquired, whether we have understood all. We have nodded. Then, not ceasing
To bow, he has invited us inside.
"Susichnaja" reminded a bar of the average sizes. Behind a rack,
The built letter "P", visitors took seat. Inside dexterously
Cooks worked. They hands in plastic gloves rolled balls
From sticky Japanese fig. Local rice not friable, as
Vietnamese, and it is very similar to our Krasnodar. From above cooks
Smeared a little vasabi and splashed something from seafood,
Sometimes turned susi in similar to a transfer paper
Dried sea seaweed.
We have taken seat on narrow enough high stools. Susi and jars
With koloj and juice on saucers floated by on built in in
Rack to the conveyor. Each visitor served itself. For
It before each place: cups, kranik, whence it is possible to pour
Free green tea, a bottle with soya sauce, packings with
The flavoured napkins and a glass with the disposable
Chopsticks - hasi. Neither plugs, nor knifes, even are not present spoons,
How much do not search.
Basically, system convenient. You take, that you want, you pour
Tea, how much you can drink. By quantity of plateaus at an exit in
To cash desk you pay off for a dinner.
Susi on the conveyor the diversified floated: with octopuses,
Salmon, caviar, shrimps, a comb of the sea fad, meat
Sea hedgehog, the smoked eel and other, other. However near to
Me of village the elderly Japanese. And only I looked after any
Portion, it suffice - and to itself. It would be possible to reserve, of course,
Wished directly at the cook, that, actually, many also did, but without
Knowledge Japanese as you will tell: "I Want susi with tiger shrimps"?
So, struggling with disobedient hasi, being mown on the quick neigbour,
I have lost half an hour. Thus the heap of saucers at the old woman grew, and at
Me has hardly probable collected their four-five pieces. Fortunately, terrible
Signboards at an input - only a good wish of owners, anybody from
"susichnoj" after the lapse of put on eating of meal of time not
Expel.
In the evening in Tokyo restaurants revive. Their thousand. And at an input in
Everyone not only the detailed menu in many languages, but also samples
Submitted dishes. Is here and thick noodles "udon" from a usual flour,
And thin noodles "soba" - from a flour buckwheat, and soup "miso-siru" from
The dried and crushed seafood, and "tempura" - zharennye in
kljare vegetables or fish, and all is obligatory the same susi, sasimi,
Other dishes from floating living creatures. There and then it is possible to try beer
Or even to reserve tiny kuvshinchik with the strongest
25-degree sake. Despite a large quantity of institutions,
The place for a supper if it is not reserved in advance to find uneasy.
Japanese eat much. But for some reason do not get fat! If, of course, not
To consider fighters sumo, being national pride of the Country
Rising sun.
By the way.
Many people are convinced, that food consumption in a crude kind
More usefully, therefore syroedenie became very popular. However
The Indian newspaper "Stejtsmen" warns, that, completely
Having refused the prepared food, it is possible to put the irreparable
Harm to the health. Yes, the newspaper underlines, at preparation
Meal the maintenance of vitamins B and With, and also minerals is reduced, but
These losses can be reduced to a minimum...
Besides the prepared meal allows an organism easier
To acquire a protein, carbohydrates and other important substances. A potato,
Let's tell, contains the whole complex of the carbohydrates concluded in difficult
Soluble granules. At granule cooking collapse, and carbohydrates
Are easier acquired. Crude eggs contain avidin which connects
Biooozes, the important vitamin from a complex of vitamins of group of V.Pri to cooking
avidin collapses.
Meat and bean is necessary for cooking or frying. In the crude
Kind these products are too heavy for a stomach.
The dishes prepared with use of fats, of course,
vysokokalorijny. But fats are a source of vitamin E, which
It is difficult to receive from other products. Roasted on butter or on
Margarine the banal omelette contains the whole set of the nutritious
Substances, including vitamins A, D and E.
At thermal processing bacteria perish. Especially it is important
For the countries with a hot climate. When probability of presence in the crude
Products of harmful microbes it is great, thermal processing
Vital.
