Japanese Cuisine

To speak of Japanese cuisine, is to speak of cuisine that developed on Japanese soil and within the Japanese millieu, as well as as using Japanese ingredients. It is also called 'Washoku' or 'Nihonshoku' in Japanese. Abroad, dishes such as Sushi, Sashimi, and Tempura are widely known.

Rice agriculture has been extensive in Japan since the Yayoi era. When Buddhism and tea culture arrived from China, a vegetarian food culture known as 'Shoujinryouri' as developed. Thanks to Japan's abundance of sea and mountain, a unique food culture which greatly values freshness emerged. Later, foods such as Sushi, Soba, and Tempura grew out of the urban culture of the Edo period. In Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo, you can find many quality establishments in which you may sample the traditional foods of Japan.
