Traditional Japanese cuisine is dominated by white rice. Any other dish served during a meal is considered a side dish. These are used to enhance the flavor of rice. A traditional Japanese breakfast consists of miso soup (miso shiru), rice, and a pickled vegetable. The most common meal, however, called ichijū-sansai ("one soup, three side dishes") with a different technique for each preparation. The three side dishes are usually raw fish (sashimi), a dish on the grill, and a cooked dish to simmer. This unique Japanese view food is reflected in the organization of traditional Japanese cookbooks. The chapters are organized according to cooking techniques: fried foods, steamed, grilled foods, for example, rather than on specific ingredients (eg, chicken or beef) as are western cookbooks. There are also usually chapters devoted to soups, sushi, rice, noodles, and sweets.
