In Japanese cuisine, this refers to a small amount of food served at the beginning of a meal, suitable as a snack with sake. Originally, two types were served: catfish and wild vegetables. Otoshi is the name used in the Kanto region, while in Kansai it is also called tsukidashi or saizuke. The word zensai (appetizer) is also widely used. Zensai was originally a Chinese dish (chienzai) and was used in Kansai cuisine from the beginning of the Showa era, but is now used in Japanese cuisine in general.

日本料理において、初めに出てくる少量の、酒の肴(さかな)に適するものをいう。本来は、なまぐさ物と山菜物と2種出す。お通しは関東の名称で、関西では突き出し、先付けともいう。前菜(ぜんさい)ということばも広く用いられている。前菜は元来中国料理の名称(チエンツァイ)で、昭和の初めから関西料理で用いられたが、いまは日本料理全般に用いられている。 [多田鉄之助] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
