First, the characteristics of Japanese food culture. China's cultural feelings towards Japan are just like that of men and women. Japan and China have been communicating for thousands of years, just because only a strip of clothing is separated from water. Ship traffic, exchange of necessities. In the eastern world, no country has such a deep cultural affinity as China and Japan. China people who have never been to Japan are mostly ignorant, and regard China culture as "mother culture" and Japanese culture as "subculture". China's culture is chicken and Japanese culture is egg. Why do China people look at the Japanese again? As for culture, what else do teachers need to learn from students? This is really a big misunderstanding, but also a big misunderstanding. Japanese culture did suck the precocious, strong and plump milk of China culture during lactation. However, as early as 1000 years ago in the "heian period", Japan digested the huge China culture into its powerful stomach, forming a unique Japanese culture permeated with Yamato national spirit. One of the important components of Japanese culture is "food culture". The biggest feature of Japanese cuisine is the freshness of seafood. Surrounded by the sea, the Japanese archipelago consists of more than 4,000 islands, with mild climate, distinct seasons and unique and fresh seafood, so it has developed its own marine cuisine. There is a sense of decision, and the development direction of dishes is no exception. In other words, local culture creates delicious food. At the same time, because Japan is an island country with few resources and no neighboring countries, this natural environment makes it have a strong sense of crisis, and it is always afraid that it will not be spared from any natural and man-made disasters and make the Japanese nation extinct. For this reason, some cultures spread from China have been translated into Japanese-style explanations among the Japanese. For example, the idiom "accidentally killing someone" means "oil breaks the enemy" in Japanese. They understand it as: without oil (that is, after the oil is cut off), the enemy will be in danger and have unexpected encounters. Because of this, the Japanese think that you can't cook with oil for every meal like China, but for the sake of life safety, you should cherish and save oil. To this end, Japan tries not to use or use less oil to cook, and over time it has developed into a light and fresh Japanese cuisine. As we all know, Japan is greatly influenced by Confucianism, especially the idea that "harmony is precious" is deeply rooted. Shoto Kutaishi, revered by the Japanese, attached great importance to "harmony", and the first sentence of the seventeen constitutions he presided over was "harmony is precious". In view of this, the Japanese brutally slaughtered large livestock. In addition, there are few plains in Japan, and it is difficult to raise livestock. Japanese seldom eat beef and mutton. After World War II, we gradually ate pigs and beef because of the nutritional value of beef. Mutton is rare in the market and can only be bought in a few places such as Hokkaido. The custom of eating deer, donkeys, dogs and rabbits like China is even rarer. This makes Japanese cuisine less processed and tastes fresh. Chinese food pays attention to "color, fragrance and taste", while Japanese food pays attention to "color, shape and taste". Change the word "shape" and the characteristics of Japanese food culture will come out. Although Japanese food doesn't pay attention to what it tastes like, it pays attention to "shape", so Japanese food is eaten with eyes. This is also in line with the situation in Japan. Japan is a small country with a large population. It is a custom since ancient times to protect the natural landscape without destroying it. The Japanese always inherit the beauty left by their ancestors to the letter. In the whole diet environment, there is an implicit and restrained beauty everywhere. Japanese people who attach importance to history have inherited the eating habits of the ancients without trace. Therefore, the cooked dishes are also used as a bunch of flowers in the natural scenery to decorate people's lives.
