Sauce Plates
In Japan, it was common practice to prepare “ichiju sansai,” (one soup, three dishes) or a total of five dishes: rice, miso soup, and three side dishes. This has become a good old tradition, but it makes more sense than you might think when considering health. One of them is pickles. Pickles are not eaten in very large quantities, so they are served on small plates. Yes, that is what we call a sauce plate in English. Of course, it also serves as a vessel for sauces. Instead of pouring soy sauce or sauce directly on food, Japanese people often put it in a small plate and dip the food into the sauce in that small plate a little bit before eating. This is not common in homes today, but is still widely used in restaurants and kaiseki restaurants, and is widely known as Japanese manners. If you want to enjoy Japanese food, it is fun to start with a sauce plate. Since they are small in size, you will want to collect them. We hope you will collect them.
