Appetizer - Mukōzuke

Japanese: 向付 - むこうづけ
Appetizer - Mukōzuke

It is a dish on the menu of a banquet, and is also called mukou or o-mukou. It is the first or second dish served, and is so named because it is placed on the other side of the guest. Originally, it was served with sashimi or vinegared food, but today's mukou is a thoughtful dish that goes well with sake. In kaiseki, raw fish is called mukou. In honzen cuisine, a grilled fish with its head attached is placed on the other side (front) of the honzen, and this is called mukou-zume. Recently, it has sometimes been confused with otoushi or sakizuke, and since the early Showa period, it has also been called zensai, a Chinese name.

Japanese:

供応料理の献立中の一品で、向こう、お向こうともいう。初め、あるいは二番目に出す料理で、客の向こう側に置くところからこの名がある。刺身または酢の物を用いたが、現在の向付は酒の肴(さかな)に向く気のきいた料理を出している。懐石(かいせき)では膾(なます)を向付という。また、本膳(ほんぜん)料理では本膳の向こう側(前方)に頭(かしら)付きの魚の焼き物を用いて、これを向詰(むこうづめ)という。最近はお通し、先付(さきづけ)などと混同されている場合もあるし、昭和初期からは前菜(ぜんさい)という中国名を用いることもある。
