{{Nihongo|'''Nimono'''|[[:ja:煮物|煮物]]}} is a simmered dish in [[Japanese cuisine]]. A nimono generally consists of a base ingredient simmered in ''shiru'' stock flavored with [[sake]], [[soy sauce]], and a small amount of sweetening. The nimono is simmered in the shiru over a period of time until the liquid is absorbed into the base ingredient or evaporated. The base ingredients for a nimono is typically a vegetable, fish, seafood, or [[tofu]], either singly, or in combination. The ''shiru'' stock for a nimono is generally [[dashi]]. Other than sake and soy sauce, the stock can be further flavored by [[mirin]], [[sugar]], [[salt]], [[vinegar]], [[miso]], or other [[condiment]]s. A heavy covered pot is used in making nimono in order to spread the heat evenly throughout the ingredients during the simmering process.
