Mirin & Sake
Both are frequently used hand in hand in a recipe for Japanese cooking. One of the main differences is sake contains higher alcohol and lower sugar contents, while mirin has a higher sugar content and lower alcohol content. Sake is often added earlier in the cooking process to allow some of the alcohol to evaporate. It should simmer with the food to let is absorb with the flavors. If added too late in the cooking, you will end up with a harsh flavor. On the other hand, mirin can be used untreated in a dish or added at the end of the cooking process as a glazing agent to the dish.

Japanese Mayonnaise
Japanese Mayonnaise has a rich egg flavor, a tangy and sweet taste, and is creamier in both color and texture than standard mayonnaise. And just like any other Japanese creation, it scores high on the umami factor.

Wasabi
Wasabi (ワサビ or 山葵) is a root vegetable known in English as Japanese horseradish. It is most famous in the grated form of a green paste used as condiment for sashimi (raw seafood) and sushi However, wasabi is also used for many other Japanese dishes. In supermarkets, wasabi is widely available as a paste or in powder form. Wasabi powder has to be mixed with water to become a paste. Wasabi has a strong, hot flavor which dissipates within a few seconds and leaves no burning aftertaste in one's mouth.
