Ao's Authentic Washoku Counts the Way to Japanese Cooking
A bilingual Fukuoka-based guide to washoku fundamentals, recipes, and the sources behind its cooking ratios.
Field notes
The project structures washoku instruction as a compact numerical system, beginning with dashi and extending into seasoning mixtures. The homepage specifies salt at 2% of a fish's weight, combines kombu and katsuo at a stated 1:2 relationship, and gives an 8:1:1 dashi-soy-mirin formula. It also advertises 11 entries and a source ledger, with the explicit rule that figures lacking a source are omitted. The extract does not reveal the ledger's underlying documents.
