Mushimono with cherry leaf

Mushimono is a Japanese culinary term referring to a steamed dish,[1] usually containing chicken, fish or vegetables; sometimes treated with sake.[2] The foods are steamed until soft and served hot. Chawanmushi is a popular example.

The steaming methods include:

  • Steaming the ingredients in small bowls or cups. After steaming, the bowls are served on plates.
  • Steaming the ingredients loose in a large steamer.
