Japanese food

In my country have many of Japanese restaurants so I used to taste of Japanese food when I was young, and I like this taste very much.  I have many favorite type of Japanese food, The Japanese food that I like is beef bowl, saru ramen and cake from Hokkaido.

In Thailand have many types of Japanese food that popular such as Sukiyaki, Sushi, Soba, Udon, Shabu-Shabu and Tempura.  We adapt Thai taste for Japanese food in example Thai people love sweet taste so some of Ramen in Thailand have different taste from Japan.

The traditional Japanese food that I used to see always have many dish like my country but smaller size of dish and piece of food.  The main dishes are rice, meat and miso soup.  The rice is small size and quite sticky.  The meat such as fish, beef, chicken or pork in a slide pieces, cook by grill with salt or teriyaki and fried.  The miso soup, different from each part of country because it up to the material and culture of each family.  The other dishes such as tofu, salad, fried food etc.  All of the set must have the entire 5 food group in each meal so they get enough nutrients that variable with the body.  The examples of many dishes food that I know are bento or set meal.

In my opinions, the main taste of Japanese food is salty but sometime had a little bit sweet.  The ingredient that often use are Shoyu (Soy sauce), Miso (Soybean paste), Su (Rice vinegar), Mirin (Sweet rice wine), Goma (sesame oil) etc.  Normally, they always at some Wasabi mix with food such as sea food or Sushi.

The way to cook or decorate food in Japan very delicate, you can see in the picture or your experience.  In example they have specific time for boiled egg for get many type of egg.  The food always look beautiful on the dish such as the carrot usually have a flower shape.

The Japanese people do not have only good taste of food but they also have a good culture for pay respect to their food such as they say “Ittadakimasu” before eating and “Gochisosama” when finish for thank you the meal.

In my opinions, Japanese foods have a very good taste for Thai people, almost of us love it especially salmon.  They have very good way to cooking and decorate food also.
