96
+ ## The Five Japanese Flavor Principles
97
+
98
+ Japanese cooking is guided by さしすせそ — a mnemonic for the order in which seasonings are added:
99
+
100
+ | Letter | Seasoning | Reading |
101
+ |--------|-----------|---------|
102
+ | さ | さとう (sugar) | Satou |
103
+ | し | しお (salt) | Shio |
104
+ | す | す (vinegar) | Su |
105
+ | せ | しょうゆ (soy sauce, old reading せうゆ) | Shoyu |
106
+ | そ | みそ (miso) | Miso |
107
+
108
+ Adding ingredients in this order produces optimal flavor in Japanese cooking.
109
+
110
+ ## At the Supermarket (スーパー)
111
+
112
+ | Phrase | Meaning |
113
+ |--------|---------|
114
+ | これは なんグラムですか | How many grams is this? |
115
+ | このやさいは なんですか | What vegetable is this? |
116
+ | どこに ありますか | Where is it? |
117
+ | 〜はありますか | Do you have ~? |

124
+
125

129
+ **Answer:**

134
+
