Japanese takeout

Varies by dish, but commonly savory with recurring notes of soy sauce, sesame, ginger, and rice vinegar.

Lens analyzed

Japanese takeout covers dishes from a Japanese restaurant menu, from sushi and sashimi to teriyaki, ramen, and tempura. What arrives in an order varies completely by what was purchased, so this entry stands in for a broad mix of raw, grilled, and fried items rather than one specific dish.

Where it comes from

Japanese restaurant cooking spread internationally over the 20th century, with sushi in particular becoming widely popular in North America, and Japanese takeout now spans everything from raw fish dishes to hot noodle soups.

Buying it

Ask how raw fish items are packed and how long they've been out, since sushi and sashimi are more perishable than cooked dishes, and check on any allergens like soy, sesame, or shellfish.

Storing it

Refrigerate leftover cooked Japanese takeout within two hours of pickup and use within about three days; raw sushi and sashimi should be eaten the same day rather than stored as leftovers.

Keeps about 2 days in the fridge.
