Unique features of Japanese cuisine

Each region has its own culinary style: Japan is a small country, but each region has different variations and tastes in cuisine. A typical example is that ramen is cooked very differently in regions such as Hokkaido, Kitakata, Hakata…
The indispensable ingredient is fish seasoning: Japanese food often has a lot of broth and seasonings made from fish. Miso soup, boiled vegetables or noodles all have fish seasoning, making the dish more delicious.
Japanese cuisine has a history and culture: Like food in other countries, Japanese food has its own history and culture. Sushi, tempura, and soba noodles began to exist in the Edo period. The culinary arts of kaiseki and shojin are perhaps even older. You can learn about history and culture from the food itself.
