What’s the different of U.S food and Japanese food.

If the foreign country people come to U.S and think about the U.S foods. U.S is 25 bigger than Japan also There are 4 standard time. The climate is different. If you go San Francisco it always spring and if you go to Miami it’s always perpetual summer. At winter time the NY is will be 40 and cold. There are many people came over from foreign country to U.S even the food culture too. If you have a frozen food every one can make speedy and tasty food. Of course each one sense of values are different for each origin.

If you divide the religion at U.S there are Catholic people and Protestant people. Protestant people is contract society and catholic are area society (I’m sorry if I get wrong) On the food Catholic is making the beer wine and cheese. 100 years ago in the “Little House on the Prairie” is description about American old west time. In this play the people try to make the preserved food for winter times. They likes jam. pickles and Team time the apple pie is on the table. Also they ate cornbread ,bean soup, Turkey. Now these days people normal eating pizza, Apple pie ,cheese cake , hamburger meat loaf , taco , steak , clam chowder fried chicken and Gingerbread house etc... U.S don’t get tax so much for food so I liked that point.

History of Japanese food.

The 1400BC-400BC the people doing food boiled, grilled. The tea and special foods are came to china Buddhism. This special foods are Buddhist cuisine. At the same time the Buddhism teach the don’t eat the animal (like cow, pig).

Edo period People are eating lot of flavor Tempura, Soba, Sushi. This time sugar is just came out and people is making a lot of sweets too.

How about Japanese people eats. We usually eat lice or bread a lot. Usually we eat the Japanese foods are Sushi (We don’t eat California Roll so much) Sashimi (fresh row seafood made by fish) Soba (Japanese Noodles) Tempura (deep fried battered meat seafood vegetable) Omurice (omelette + rice) Hayashi rice (western style dish)

What the characteristics of Japanese food? First the usually Japanese foods are low fat and salty. Normally we are using lice, grain, vegetable,　been, fruit, fish, seaweed, chicken. Specially we are good to processing seaweed and soybean. Normally we eat raw fish and seaweed. The processing soybean is the most characteristic of Japanese food. We are not development at meat and dairy product so much yet. For flavor basic we use the stock , salt , soy sauce , soybean paste (which fermentation the soy been) sake, vinegar. To sweet use the Mizuame (water candy) , Mirin (rice wine) now these days we use the sugar too. A little bit of Canola oil, Sesami oil and don’t use the lard so much. The point is Japanese foods are use the water a lot.

How to set the table

Normally we put the lice, miso soup and something. 3 dish (One main dish and two side dish). People it what ever they wont eat first. But normally first eat pickled vegetables with rice then take the miso soup. Tea-ceremony dishes (la carte dish) are bring the one topic for each turn. It’s not like course.
