Deceptively simple\, master chefs have jealously guarded its secrets for centuries. Its development came about as a result of a historical event that triggered a “food revolution”: Buddhism arrived in Japan 1500 years ago\, prohibiting the consumption of meat. The Japanese quickly sought other sources of ‘umami’ taste and found it in Dashi. \nPlease note: The two documentaries will be shown consecutively as one. \nShoyu and the Secrets of Japanese Cuisine\nDirected by Shohei Shibata\n2014\, 49 minutes\nDocumentary \nThe Japanese discovered that a humble mould spore could transform soya beans into ‘Shoyu’\, the soy sauce that is a pillar of Japanese cuisine. Sprinkle it on rice and the rice changes into sake… This mould is a tiny organism called ‘Aspergillus oryzae’ and mysteriously\, it exists only in Japan! We travel to the imperial city of Kyoto\, where the ancient craft of brewing Shoyu is preserved. This delicate process begins in spring and requires a whole year to mature the soy sauce. The Shoyu brewer knows it is all a question of balance and harmony… \n©NHK-Asia documentary Productions-Point du Jour-2014 \nWe love to hear your impressions of the films!
