Japanese star chef Ryuta Kijima has made it his mission to take classic Japanese recipes and arrange them in an easy-to-make manner, bringing them to your own kitchen! He takes his inspiration from the recent hit gourmet anime Isekai Izakaya Nobu, creating his own version of the tasty pub food served in the show. This week, we get to savor Japanese-style bouillabaisse with canned mackerel and sakura shrimp!
Japan is known for its seafood-centric cuisine and it comes to no surprise that bouillabaisse, French fish stew, is a staple dish at homes all around Japan. Many a pub guest orders a hearty bowl to recharge their energies and Izakaya Nobu is no exception here. Bouillabaisse is a classic example of a dish that’s gotten its very own, distinct twist while being happily accepted into the world of Japanese cooking!
Staying true to his credo of creating easy and quick recipes, Chef Kijima shows us how to make a simple Japanese-style bouillabaisse with canned mackerel and sakura shrimp. With a dash of white wine and olive oil, this soup will warm you right to the core and become a new favorite go-to comfort food for sure!
