Japanese culinary style From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shippoku (卓袱) is a Japanese culinary style that is heavily influenced by Chinese cuisine.[1][2] It has been described as a fusion cuisine and as a "hybrid cuisine" that combines elements of European, Chinese and Japanese cuisines.[3][4] Meats used in shippoku cuisine include fowl, fish, and game meats. Sake typically accompanies shippoku dishes.[5] The shippoku style of service typically includes several small dishes that comprise a full meal.[6]
"Shippoku" is a Japanese word that means "table cloth."[a]
Shippoku cuisine originated from Chinese immigrants to Nagasaki, Japan during the Edo period,[5] which occurred from 1603 to 1868. Nagasaki was the only place in Japan where foreigners (Portuguese, Dutch and Chinese) were allowed to reside during the "centuries of seclusion."[5] During the eighteenth century in Japan, the popularity of Chinese cuisine increased among Japanese intellectuals, and restaurants that focused upon shippoku and fucha cuisines, a vegetarian cuisine also influenced by Chinese cuisine, emerged.[5]
Shippoku cuisine remains a specialty of Nagasaki.[2]
