| The
history of Japanese food culture is said to have started
from when people were hunting in the fields and catching
clams from the ocean to rice cultivation during the
Yayoi era. With rice being the staple food, the Japanese
are known for their use of fish and beans, seaweed,
and vegetables. Japanese food is famous for being
macrobiotic. There are foods that are necessary in
cultural events. There are local dishes that vary
in different weather and locations. There are various
items that were originally for preservation purposes
that have now come to represent Japanese food. In
this column, we will introduce traditional Japanese
food culture while taking a trip back into the history
of Japan. |
