Period+7+Japan+Food

Food is an essential part of the Japanese culture. The basic Japanese meal almost always consists of “gohan” or rice, “ tsukemono ” or pickled vegetables, and then a simple slate of fish or meat. The Japanese country takes great pride in their food as a whole. Their seafood consists mainly of fish, squid, octopus, eel, and shellfish. These are found in main dishes as well as sushi. Sushi, or sashimi is also a major contribution in the Japanese culture. Although it did not start in Japan, it was brought over from China in the 7th century. Sushi can be made with a variety of different ingredients but it’s mostly composed of raw fish, sticky rice, seaweed, and avocado. Sushi is a very satisfying and very healthy meal that the Japanese like to eat.
