ちょうみりょう Seasonings and Condiments

I cook meals at home every day. Dinner is usually Japanese food. So we have Japanese cooking seasonings at home. I always use soy sauce, sake, and mirin. Occasionally, I use vinegar or sesame oil too. Sesame oil is also used in Chinese cooking. Today, the supermarket had yuzu ponzu. I bought it for the first time.

When I go to Asian supermarkets, I sometimes find condiments in large quantities. A 5-litre bottle of soy sauce is much better value than a 1-litre one. I make a point of buying it when I see it. Of course, the bottle itself is far too big to use as is, so I pour it into a small soy sauce dispenser.
