Oshizushi Box

[Cookwithlove]

Hi,

Recently I have been obsessed with the Oshizushi box which I learned the name from Suzysushi ,although I used it many times in the course of my career. Althought I wish to specialise in only one type of cuisine unfortunately our competitive climate here does not allow one to or else you cannot survive.

Coming back to the Oshizushi box, I am toying to use it to prepare a mille-feuille of vegetable incorporating Japanese technique. This spring to my mind, seeking Hiroyuki san help for some ideas on the creative use of the Oshizushi box, unique vegetables and other stuff popular in Japan. Let saddhu the Japanese for their high creative standard of cuisine which many of us emulate and held in high regards.

Let's share our knowledge for all the more we know we are living in an impermanent world. Be grateful to all.

Unfortunately, the Japanese are not so creative to oshizushi boxes as you might think they are. The boxes are usually used to make oshizushi only.

Some of the facts you might find interesting/hepful:

Oshizushi is popular in Osaka, but is much less popular in Tokyo, where nigiri zushi originated.

The Japanese terms for oshizushi box include:

Oshizushi ki (押し寿司器)

Oshizushi gata (押し寿司型）

and simply

kata (型), which means mold.

Looking forward to your imaginative uses for oshizushi boxes!
