The new way to add pizazz to your cooking game is Japanese spices and condiments. Donna Ruko and Benihana’s Brian Sullivan have three trendy ones that are burning up 2017.

1.  Mirin

Mirin is simply a sweet cooking sake. It adds some zing to basic sides and you can mix  it with  just about anything.

2.  Miso

What is miso exactly? It's nothing more than fermented soy. Fermented products are actually good for the digestive tract.

3.  Ponzu

It's like soy sauce, but with a lot less sodium, flavored with citrus.
