The Four Seasons of Oitate’s Chinese Yakuzen
What makes Oitate’s Chinese yakuzen unique is the use of seasonal ingredients for seasoning.
Oitate effectively uses sprouts in spring menus.The amount of nutrients decreases by half as vegetables grow.In other words, sprouts contain an abundance of nutrients that are good for the body.Fresh bitterness that conveys the vitality of vegetables adds nutrients, flavors, and depths to dishes.
In summer, when the body tends to contain heat, ingredients that cool down the body are mainly used and combined with sauces made of ingredients that improve digestion, such as daikon radish, wasabi, and sun-dried citrus peel, to care for the body.
Fresh flavors not commonly seen in Chinese dishes are appetizing.

From late August to the end of December, when newly harvested rice is available, sauce made by blending cooked rice and seasonal vegetables into paste is widely used.The use of newly harvested rice, a natural sweetener, as an alternative to sugar is easy on the stomach and spleen, and helps create a healthy body and mind.
During this season, when body functions tend to slow down, Oitate also offers hot pots with ingredients that warm the body.Also served is yakuzen ponzu, a sauce with a perfect blend of the five flavors. Citrus fruits, such as sour orange, and the sweetness of honey improve the digestive function of the liver.
