Chuuka dishes in Japan are arranged in the Japanese-style and are often cooked at home. |

| | Culture of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Japanese cuisine is a product of its environment and people; the ease of acquiring fresh ingredients led to sushi, high temperature and humidity led to varieties of pickled and fermented food like natto and soy sauce, and an adaptation of foreign cuisines led to ramen. | | | Modern Japanese enjoy a variety of traditional Japanese food, including many seafood dishes (sushi and sashimi for instance), as well as a multitude of foreign cuisine. | | | Through virtue of a long culinary past, highly influenced by Korean and Chinese practices, the Japanese have developed a sophisticated, yet simple cuisine highly customized to the change of seasons. |

| | Although the Japanese name for kamaboko is becoming increasingly common outside of Japan (c.f., sushi), some extant English names for kamaboko are fish paste, fish loaf, fish cake, and fish sausage (Tsuji, 1980). | | | Kamaboko has been made in Japan since the 14th century C.E. and is now available nearly worldwide. | | | Red skinned kamaboko and white kamaboko are typically served at celebratory and holiday meals as the red and white colors are considered to bring good luck. |

| | Clear broth with three cubes of tofu, shiitake mushrooms and two rings of scallion green; a few slices of raw fish beautifully garnished and standing alone on a plate; a small dish of pickled cabbage, spare and clean to the palate; this is the uncluttered art of Japanese cooking. | | | Though red meat is a relative newcomer to the cuisine and outrageously expensive, beef, and the more reasonably priced pork, has been integrated creatively into Japanese cuisine. | | | The Japanese diet gets the bulk of its protein from soybeans and seafood, and so is perhaps one of the healthiest of national cuisines. |

| | Note: Hokkaido is the big northern island of Japan where winter is very harsh and summer nice and mild, and it is well known in Japan for its milk (and dairy products) and its potatoes. | | | Oh, and there is milk chocolate inside, which softens the sweetness of the white chocolate and goes really well with bitter coffee. | | | Even if you are craving for a short black, when getting canned coffee in Japan, from a convenience store or a vending machine, hot or cold, well, in every circumstances, NEVER get the ones without milk in them. |

| | Nowadays there are many sweet sauces in Japanese cuisine, but sugar itself was brought in by Europeans. | | | When Japan became a primarily-Buddhist nation in the 6th century, meat was eschewed and even banned. | | | Due to the lack of needing to cook these items, cooking with oils was unheard of in traditional earlier Japanese cuisines. |

| | Foreign Policy -- Japan's Gross National Cool, By Douglas McGray |
| | It makes sense: Japan’s history is filled with examples of foreign inspiration and cultural fusion, from its kanji character system to its ramen noodles. | | | And with the cultural reach of a superpower already in place, it’s hard to imagine that Japan will be content to remain so much medium and so little message. | | | When Nye first wrote about soft power, he rightly believed that Japan’s insularity kept it from taking advantage of its formidable economic soft power. |
