In Japanese cuisine, colors are fundamental, especially five of them: white, black, red, green and yellow. These colors are associated with Buddhism, where each color has a symbol. The incorporation of these five colors not only enhances the aesthetics and appeal of dishes, stimulating a sense of life, but the use of a wide variety of ingredients to achieve these hues helps to ensure a high nutritional content. It makes sense that the more colors you have on your plate, the healthier and more nutritious your food will be.

Five are the senses, the colors and also the tastes. According to the five principles, Japanese food should also have a balance of salty, sweet, bitter, sour and "umami. Umami is that elusive quality that is often obtained by adding dashi (broth made from konbu and katsobushi), for example, to various elements of Japanese cuisine such as miso soup, ramen, seasonings and marinades.
The five principles are also reflected in the cooking methods: raw, boiled, steamed, grilled and fried. In traditional kaiseki cooking there is a gradual progression from mild dishes to more substantial dishes and then back to simple dishes. Mindful eating suggests using smell, sight, even hearing and touch when eating. Just seeing a plate of delicious looking food is enough to stimulate our appetite.
