Doteyaki

Walk along the narrow Jan-Jan Yokochō alley in Shinsekai, under the Tsūtenkaku tower, and every kushikatsu counter has a long shallow tray of doteyaki bubbling at the front. Beef tendon is simmered until it wobbles, then stewed slowly in a glossy sauce of white miso, sugar and mirin, and it is eaten from the afternoon on, piled with raw spring onion and a shake of shichimi. The sauce contains mirin, which contains alcohol; for an alcohol-free version use 60 ml water, 1 extra tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar instead. Chef's tip: blanch the tendon twice and rinse it well, or the sauce turns cloudy and tastes of the butcher's shop.

Miso katsu (Nagoya pork cutlet with red miso sauce)

Dark soybean miso, such as the hatcho miso made in nearby Okazaki, gives Nagoya food its deep brown colour and rich, slightly bitter flavour. Miso katsu is the city's best-known way to use it: a fried pork cutlet covered in a thick, sweet miso sauce. It is served in lunch restaurants on a bed of shredded cabbage with rice and miso soup, or sliced over rice as a bowl. The sauce is glossy and savoury, a little like a darker, sweeter barbecue sauce. Chef's tip: snip through the strip of fat and sinew along the edge of each chop every 2 cm before coating it, so the cutlet stays flat in the oil and cooks evenly.

Vegetable miso ramen

Miso ramen was born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and is now eaten all over Japan. This vegetarian version builds a deep broth from kombu and dried shiitake instead of pork bones, then thickens it with miso and toasted sesame paste. A pile of quickly stir-fried cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot and sweetcorn goes on top with a soft-boiled egg. Slurp it while it's piping hot on a cold day. Chef's tip: fry the miso paste for a minute in the hot wok with the garlic and ginger before it meets the broth, as Sapporo shops do; the toasted miso gives the soup its deep, roasted flavour.
