UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF TEISHOKU (SET MEAL)
Why teishoku?
Teishoku (Japanese set meals) are the heart of washoku, traditional Japanese cuisine, simple, balanced, and full of flavor. A teishoku meal typically includes rice, soup, and a main dish, making it an excellent way to enjoy a variety of tastes and textures in one setting. Let’s learn how to create a wholesome, nutritious Japanese meal that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
