I love Japanese food. I really like recipes which focus on the flavor of a specific ingredient. Japanese food like Sushi and Onigiri made me realize how good rice tastes. Kind of like how French and Italian food made me realize how good wheat tastes. In terms of wheat, Italians mastered the savory and French mastered the sweets. In all these cases, the grain is treated as the central ingredient. It's an ingredient which most people consider bland, and yet it takes the leading role in many recipes.
