レシピ در ۳۰ ثانیه
- レシピ (reshipi) is the Japanese word for 'recipe', used for cooking instructions.
- It is a Katakana loanword from English and is very common in modern Japan.
- It covers both the list of ingredients and the step-by-step cooking process.
- Commonly used with verbs like 'miru' (see), 'kaku' (write), and 'oshieru' (teach).
The Japanese word レシピ (reshipi) is a katakana loanword derived from the English word 'recipe.' In the modern Japanese lexicon, it serves as the primary term for the set of instructions used to prepare a specific dish or drink. While traditional Japanese might have favored terms like 作り方 (tsukurikata - way of making) or 調理法 (chōrihō - cooking method), the word レシピ has surged in popularity due to the globalization of culinary culture and the digital revolution of home cooking. It is a versatile noun that fits seamlessly into daily conversations, professional kitchen environments, and the vast world of Japanese social media.
- Everyday Context
- In a typical Japanese household, you might hear a family member ask, '今日の夕食のレシピは何？' (Kyō no yūshoku no reshipi wa nani? - What is the recipe for tonight's dinner?). It implies a structured approach to cooking, often involving a specific source like a cookbook, a website, or a shared family secret.
- Digital Context
- Japan is home to massive recipe-sharing platforms like Cookpad and Rakuten Recipe. In these spaces, レシピ is the standard unit of content. Users 'upload recipes' (レシピを投稿する - reshipi o tōkō suru) and 'search for recipes' (レシピを検索する - reshipi o kensaku suru) based on ingredients they have in their fridge.
- Professional Context
- In restaurants, the word refers to the standardized formulas used to maintain consistency. A 'secret recipe' (秘伝のレシピ - hiden no reshipi) is a common trope in Japanese food dramas and documentaries, highlighting the value of unique culinary knowledge.

(I learned the recipe for this curry from my grandmother.)
The usage of レシピ extends beyond just the list of ingredients; it encompasses the entire process, including the preparation (下ごしらえ - shitagoshirae) and the final plating. Interestingly, while the English word 'recipe' can occasionally refer to a prescription in archaic or medical contexts, the Japanese レシピ is strictly culinary. For medical prescriptions, Japanese exclusively uses 処方箋 (shohōsen).

Furthermore, レシピ is frequently used in compound words and marketing. You might see 時短レシピ (jitan reshipi - time-saving recipes) targeted at busy office workers, or 節約レシピ (setsuyaku reshipi - budget-friendly recipes) for students. The word carries a connotation of accessibility and modernization, making cooking feel like a creative project rather than a domestic chore.
- Grammar Pairing
- The word is almost always used with the particles 'の' (no) to indicate the dish, or 'を' (o) when it is the object of a verb like '見る' (miru - to see) or '作る' (tsukuru - to create).

Using レシピ effectively in Japanese requires understanding how it interacts with different verbs and particles. Since it is a noun, its primary role is to act as the subject or object within a sentence. Below, we explore the various syntactic environments where you will encounter this word, ranging from simple requests to complex descriptions of culinary processes.
- With the Particle 'の' (Possession/Attribute)
- The most common way to specify what the recipe is for is to use [Dish Name] + の + レシピ. For example, 'オムライスのレシピ' (Omuraisu no reshipi - Recipe for omurice). This structure is essential for clarity.
- Verbs of Discovery (見る, 探す, 見つける)
- When you are looking for information, you 'see' (見る - miru), 'search' (探す - sagasu), or 'find' (見つける - mitsukeru) a recipe. In the digital age, '検索する' (kensaku suru - to search/Google) is also extremely common.

(I am looking for a delicious pasta recipe on the internet.)
When you follow a recipe, the verb used is often 通りに (tōri ni - according to/following). So, 'レシピ通りに作る' (reshipi tōri ni tsukuru) means 'to make it exactly according to the recipe.' This is a crucial phrase for beginners who want to ensure their cooking turns out correctly.
レシピ通りに作ったのに、失敗してしまいました。
(Even though I made it according to the recipe, I failed.)
In more advanced contexts, you might hear about 'arranging' a recipe. The Japanese borrow the English word 'arrange' as アレンジする (arenji suru). To 'arrange a recipe' (レシピをアレンジする) means to take a basic set of instructions and add your own twist or substitute ingredients.
- Verbs of Creation (書く, 考案する, 投稿する)
- If you are the one providing the instructions, you 'write' (書く - kaku), 'devise' (考案する - kōan suru), or 'post' (投稿する - tōkō suru) the recipe. '教える' (oshieru - to teach/share) is used when giving a recipe to a friend.
友達にその秘密のレシピを教えてあげた。
(I shared that secret recipe with my friend.)
Finally, consider the use of レシピ in the context of media consumption. 'レシピ本' (reshipi-bon) refers to a cookbook. While '料理本' (ryōribon) is also used, 'レシピ本' sounds slightly more modern and focused on the specific instructions rather than the general art of cooking.
The word レシピ is ubiquitous in contemporary Japan. You will encounter it in various media formats, social settings, and commercial environments. Understanding where you are likely to hear or see it helps in grasping its cultural weight and frequency.
- Television and Variety Shows
- Japanese TV is famous for its food content. Shows like 'Kyou no Ryouri' (Today's Cooking) on NHK or various morning variety segments constantly use the word レシピ to introduce the dish of the day. You will often see the word prominently displayed in on-screen graphics alongside the list of ingredients.
- Supermarkets and Grocery Stores
- Walk into a Japanese supermarket like Aeon or Ito-Yokado, and you will often find free recipe cards (レシピカード - reshipi kādo) near the produce or meat sections. These cards suggest 'today's menu' using seasonal ingredients, encouraging customers to buy specific items to complete the 'recipe'.

(At the supermarket entrance, they were handing out recipes using autumn flavors.)
On social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, Japanese creators use hashtags like #簡単レシピ (kantan reshipi - easy recipe) or #おうちごはん (ouchi gohan - home cooking) to share short, snappy cooking videos. In these contexts, the 'recipe' is often simplified into a series of visual steps with text overlays.
In casual conversation between friends, sharing a recipe is a common social lubricant. If someone brings a delicious 'bento' (lunch box) to work, a colleague might ask, 'これ、どうやって作ったの？レシピ教えて！' (How did you make this? Tell me the recipe!). Here, the request for a レシピ is a high compliment to the cook's skill.

(I tried out a recipe that a professional chef released on YouTube.)
Lastly, in the world of advertising, companies that sell seasonings (like Ajinomoto or Kikkoman) create 'package recipes' (パッケージレシピ). These are instructions printed on the back of a bottle or box explaining how to use their product to make a specific meal. The word レシピ is used to make the product seem more useful and versatile.
While レシピ is a straightforward loanword, English speakers and Japanese learners alike can fall into several traps. These range from pronunciation errors to subtle nuances in how the word is used compared to its English counterpart.
- Pronunciation Pitfalls
- The English word 'recipe' has three syllables (re-ci-pe). The Japanese version also has three moras (re-shi-pi), but the vowel sounds are flat. English speakers often over-emphasize the 're' or make the 'pi' sound like 'pee'. In Japanese, it should be a crisp 're-shi-pi' with equal weight on each sound.
- The 'Prescription' Confusion
- In some European languages (like French 'recette' or German 'Rezept'), the word for recipe and medical prescription is the same or very similar. However, in Japanese, レシピ is NEVER used for medicine. If you go to a pharmacy and ask for a 'recipe', the pharmacist will be very confused. Always use '処方箋' (shohōsen) for medical contexts.
❌ Incorrect: 薬局でレシピを出した。
✅ Correct: 薬局で処方箋を出した。
(I submitted the prescription at the pharmacy.)
Another mistake is using レシピ to refer to a general 'way of doing things' outside of cooking. In English, we might say 'a recipe for success' or 'a recipe for disaster.' While Japanese people might understand the metaphor, it is much less common. For 'recipe for success,' Japanese usually uses 秘訣 (hiketsu - secret/key) or 成功の法則 (seikō no hōsoku - law of success).
Lastly, be careful with the distinction between レシピ and 献立 (kondate). レシピ is the instruction for ONE dish. 献立 refers to the 'menu' or 'meal plan' for the whole meal (e.g., rice, miso soup, and a side dish together). If you are planning what to eat for the week, you are making a 'kondate,' not just a 'recipe.'
❌ Confusing: 今週のレシピを考えている。
✅ Better: 今週の献立を考えている。
(I'm thinking about this week's meal plan/menu.)
While レシピ is the go-to word for modern cooking instructions, Japanese offers several alternatives that carry different nuances. Choosing the right word depends on the level of formality and the specific aspect of cooking you want to emphasize.
- 作り方 (Tsukurikata)
- This literally means 'how to make.' It is the most common native Japanese alternative. While レシピ feels like a document, 作り方 focuses on the action. It is used for everything from cooking to building a plastic model or origami. In a cookbook, the 'Reshipi' section often contains the 'Tsukurikata' (the steps).
- 調理法 (Chōrihō)
- A more formal, technical term meaning 'method of cooking.' You will see this in academic contexts, professional culinary textbooks, or on high-end restaurant menus. It refers to the technique (e.g., steaming, frying, braising) rather than just a list of steps.
- 処方 (Shohō)
- While primarily used for medical prescriptions, in very specific culinary or industrial contexts (like making a chemical compound or a very precise sauce), it can mean 'formulation.' However, this is very rare for home cooking.

Let's compare them in a table to see the register and nuance differences:
| Word | Nuance | Best Used For... |
|---|---|---|
| レシピ | Modern, loanword | Apps, blogs, cookbooks |
| 作り方 | General, action-oriented | Explaining steps to a friend |
| 調理法 | Technical, formal | Professional culinary arts |
| 献立 (Kondate) | Meal structure | Planning a full meal/menu |
Another interesting word is 隠し味 (kakushi-aji), which means 'secret ingredient' or 'hidden flavor.' While not a synonym for 'recipe,' it is a key part of the conversation *about* recipes in Japan. When someone asks for your recipe, they are often really asking for your 'kakushi-aji.'
نکته جالب
In the past, Japanese used '作り方' (tsukurikata) almost exclusively. The explosion of 'Katakana-go' in the late 20th century made 'レシピ' the cooler, modern choice.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing it as 'reship' (forgetting the final 'i').
- Using an English 'R' sound instead of the Japanese 'R'.
- Over-stressing the first syllable like in English.
- Making the 'shi' sound too long.
- Confusing the 'pi' with 'bi'.
