The development of kitchen tools has always had a unique place in the history of mankind. Just as modern humans are products of change, passage of time, and evolution of history, the tools for food preparation evolved and developed into their present state based on the changing human practices and culinary culture that are wholly intertwined in the larger mechanization of human life.

The development of human civilization is always reflected in the way people adapt to the changing conditions of life. Culinary tools and their evolving designs are natural products of this tendency to answer a need.

JC Uni-tec takes pride in the unique elements of innovative Japanese culinary tools.

Because the dawn of food preparation is an essential phase in the development of society after the rough eras of wild food scavenging, the invention of newer tools for food gathering pushed the advent of sharper, metal-made kitchen tools. The kitchen tools of today will keep evolving. They may not attract interest except for their utilitarian value, but it’s worth learning that in the “age of metal,” these are the same knives, forks, and spears that ruled the day—from the barbaric battlefields to primitive kitchens.

The emergence of kitchen technology

Just as the culinary profession started to emerge as a popular and important career path in recent decades, the development of kitchen technology tagged along as a by-product of modernized form of cooking. The kitchen, as probably a microcosmic form of modern reality that mirrors the most basic source of human need to satiate itself, is similarly in a parallel revolution.

In today’s age when optimized functions of products do not only yield results but translate the call for efficiency, dynamic progress also starts to be reflected in high-speed, highly-efficient, and highly productive kitchen tools that bring the image of a society in a rush. Over the years, the dramatic rise of kitchen technology has placed new value in cooking tools and began to highlight the developing and continuously evolving trends in kitchen products.

JC Uni-tec: Japanese garnishing made easy

Since its inception, JC Uni-tec has been providing both professional and household chefs with high-quality kitchen equipment that make food preparation a convenient and pleasurable experience.

The Japanese cuisine is renowned not only for its sumptuous, exotic dishes, but also for its exquisite food preparation. It is recognized worldwide and has inspired chefs to learn the proper way of preparing and serving renowned Japanese dishes such as sushi and sashimi.

The Japanese usually serve sushi and sashimi with garnishes and relishes not only for aesthetic and flavor enhancement. For instance, roe fish sashimi is typically served with daikon tsuma and wasabi. Aside from enhancing the look and taste of the dish, the daikon also has a sterilizing effect known as the dokukeshi effect.


With eight years of industry experience, JC Uni-tec continues to develop its fine collection of Taiji and Kanjen products, which are fashioned only by Japanese master craftsmen.

The Japanese have taken garnishing up a notch that it has evolved into an art of its own. Stirring their creative juices, chefs would carve even the most mundane fruits and vegetables into intricate, decorative pieces. These delightful creations can be quite enticing, inspiring others to create their own garnishes. However, it’s not as easy as it looks. Depending on the design one wishes to make, creating a single garnish may require the use of several complicated knives, cutters, and carving tools. For instance, the tsuma (angel hair) and the katsura (paper thin) garnishes entail expertise in using several types of Japanese knives.

With JC Uni-tec’s Vegg-Q, amateur home chefs can do away with the hassles of making garnishes. Quite a versatile tool, the Vegg-Q was designed with the single purpose of mimicking the precise and delicate cutting techniques required to create tsuma and katsura garnishes.

JC-Unitec: Aestheticizing sushi presentation

Since 1990, JC Uni-tec has been one of the main providers of high-end Japanese culinary equipment to the American market.

Long before the advent of fine dining in the West, the Japanese have already long associated aesthetics to food preparation. As a matter of fact, most Japanese connoisseurs attach as much importance to the food’s artistic arrangement as its actual taste.

Sushi, one of Japan’s most famous cuisines, is also accorded the same intricate treatment—that is why making sushi has gained notoriety as an especially convoluted process. Sushi chefs need to have the proper amounts of patience, dexterity, and experience in cutting up the fish and shellfish, cooking rice, shaping the different types of sushi, and compartmentalizing them in preferred containers.

JC Uni-tec understands the complexities that surround sushi preparation. For the Japanese, this is given so much attention that the combination, color harmony, and overall presentation of food have been included in the ancient study of Wabi-Sabi.

From JCUnitec.com

This presents a great challenge to sushi bar owners who are not only expected to come up with delicious sushi but also display them in a manner that conforms to tradition. JC-Unitec provides a viable solution through its line of sushi showcases that reliably serves it purpose without compromising the exacting art of sushi presentation.

In consonance with Japanese aesthetic conventions, the sushi showcases are engineered with the minimalist concept in mind, melding traditional designs with a few innovations of its own. It also effectively maintains consistent low temperatures to ensure that raw ingredients are kept fresh even if they are displayed for a long time.

For 22 years, JC Uni-tec’s products have helped many sushi bars achieve a high-end feel. To learn more about its products, visit JCUnitec.com.

Rice Hygiene 101: Benefiting from Jc-Unitec's MJP Rice Washer

The following blog discusses how JC Uni-tec’s MJP Rice Washer can be an invaluable tool in cooking rice.

Rice is one of the world’s largest cereal grain produce. As a matter of fact, it is a staple in the cuisines of many nations—particularly in the Eastern region where rice cultivation has been commonplace for the past couple thousands of years. This is seen alongside the increasing popularity of Chinese and Japanese fares in the west, leading more Americans to cook rice in their own homes.

But cooking rice is not as easy as it seems. There are particular guidelines in the preparation of rice for cooking, including meticulous pre-washing. In the advent of technology, however, what has previously been a manual task can now be conveniently performed through an effective mechanical system.

In this respect, JC Uni-tec’s MJP Rice Washer does more than just clean the rice. It also brings the following benefits, some of which may prove worthwhile to the already shrewd homemaker:

• Flavor enhancement. When washing rice, some mucus are left in the fluid, causing it to be reabsorbed as the rice is further rinsed in the wash water. To avoid this, MJP Rice Washer is specifically designed to immediately dispose the contaminated wash water, keeping the flavor unsullied and thus making the cooked rice richer and more flavorful.
• Water conservation. The system’s washing cycle consumes only three to five times the volume of water, just equivalent to the amount of rice being washed.
• Time conservation. Washing cycles only last for an average of five minutes.
• Electricity conservation. The process does not entail any electricity as the system only makes use of water pressure.
• Ease in operation. The contraption only requires basic assembly know-how, with unsophisticated parts and straightforward set-up instructions.

Visual gastronomics: Japanese cuisine in anime

Anime is as distinctive a cultural facet of modern Japan as its cuisine has been in the course of human history. Interestingly, Japan has a knack for fusing cultural elements into their modern advances; that is why somehow, Japanese cooking has found its way into the fairly recent anime craze.

JC Uni-tec. Image credit: japanpowered.com

The following enumerates some Japanese delicacies that have become commonplace in some eminent anime shows:

• Omurice, Hanasuka Iroha. Omurice, the universal Japanese comfort food, is a contemporary fusion cuisine consisting of fried rice wrapped in omelette topped with an abundant amount of ketchup. In an episode of the series Hanasuka Iroha, the dish became a matter of dispute among the characters when it was nowhere to be found in their menu. It just goes to show how popular this dish is not just in real life, but also in the animated world.

• Ramen, Naruto. The ever-ubiquitous ramen is the favorite food of the immensely popular ninja, Naruto Uzumaki. In the series, Naruto is portrayed to have an insatiable appetite for the dish. The association became so widespread that in real life, a New York noodle shop was eventually named “Naruto Ramen.”

• Dorayaki, Doraemon. The confection, which the iconic character seemingly worships, has been frequently used as a plot device throughout the series. The robotic cat usually falls for anything that baits him with dorayaki—sometimes leading to catastrophic (albeit hilarious) results.

• Onigiri, Just about any anime. This might as well be a staple food in Japan’s animated world. Apart from being the typical meal, these rice balls are the characters’ go-to food in times of distress. They also lend themselves well to romantic scenes—sometimes providing a central segue in the development of the love story.
