The first book documenting the dim sum, ideas and preparation methods of the famous tea ceremony hall "Yamazato" is finally on sale!
Dim sum refers to small amounts of food to satisfy momentary hunger between scheduled meals. Traditionally, kaiseki cuisine is served at tea ceremonies, but at large tea ceremonies, a simplified version of kaiseki cuisine is served in the form of a bento (dim sum). It can be said to be a compact version of kaiseki cuisine, but it is also visually beautiful, has a seasonal feel, and is a very enjoyable box of food that is elaborately designed to fit the theme of the tea ceremony. It is also not as heavy as kaiseki cuisine, and can be said to express the profound world of the seasons and the rules of the tea ceremony in one box.
This book introduces the dim sum and its ideas from Yamazato, a tea ceremony hall that is renowned for its kaiseki cuisine, as well as how to make it. Even professional chefs highly value the unique taste of dim sum, which is "delicious even when cold." Another feature of this project is that it follows traditional Japanese seasonal events. There have been few books that focus on tea ceremony bento boxes, so many people are looking forward to the publication of recipes that can only be eaten at Yamazato.
This book contains the secrets of the Tea Ceremony Hall's dim sum for tea ceremonies, but also comes in the form of a bento box, making it a must-read book that will be of interest to anyone involved in the tea ceremony, as well as Japanese chefs who prepare bento boxes for catering.
