Why does all Japanese food seem like it is copied from Chinesse food?!
Answers: Are there any Japan food that is original to Japan?
Not all. Because Japanese is so smart, we can arrange it and change more good things, For example, Ramen , Yakisoba was form China, but it is diffrence form Chinese food. We all like Ramen.
There are many original Japanses food. Shushi, Tenpura, Sukiyaki, and so on. Japanse food is so nice for your helath.
We always eat not one dish but rice, miso supu, main dish, subu dish, and so on.
Sushi is isnt it?
Most of the food from Japan is copied from China so I think the only thing not copied is sushi
What do you mean by 'copied?' The fact that they eat rice as well as noodles? Rice is indigenous to the Asian region and is eaten from India to the Philippines to Japan. Noodles too can be found in much of the region. Also, beef as well as seafood features heavily in Japanese food, while many Chinese do not eat beef, and pork is more of the staple meat. But if you want specifics, how about sushi? It is rice, but like I said...
i think there is a huge diff
There are certainly Chinese influences on Japanese food, just as there are many European influences (and Chinese, Indian and Japanese) on US food, but Japan has it own unique cuisine.
Many Chinese dishes are based in oil. Japanese dishes tend to be based in water. What a difference! Sometimes I enjoy the heavier feeling of Chinese food, with its rich sauces, but usually I prefer the light, delicate flavours of Japanese cooking, that, in its ideal state, preserves the integrity of the food. If you are eating burdock root, you can really taste the fresh, earthy source. No matter how many ingredients go into a complicated ramen dish, when properly done, you can distinguish every one separately.
As far as foods original to Japan, sushi, powdered green tea, burdock simmered in broth, ramen, soba, mochi, koya dofu (dried tofu) and sliced fugu (blowfish) come to mind.
Meat was introduced from other cultures, but the Japanese have refined many recipes to a new level. Teriyaki. tonkatsu, tempura and sukiyaki are just a few of the ways the Japanese prepare meat and poultry differently from anyone else.
Well, I don't know if you've been to both China and Japan and tasted their food, if so then I don't know. But if you have stayed in America, and tasted those foods, it's definitely not the real thing. The Chinese food and everything is all "Americanized". It's not just Chinese, it's also different dishes like the Mexican food too. I've heard many people say that the food that they serve in America is definitely not the real stuff.
I don't know if copied is the right word. I would use the word influenced.
Chinese food is considered one of the mother cuisines of the ancient world. I can see Chinese food influencing Japanese food through trade and colonization.
A majority of the Japanese diet can be traced back to a Chinese origin (some by the way of India) - All forms of noodles, rice, soy - tofu, miso, soy sauce, tea... etc.
The only thing that appears to be truly Japanese in origin is the eating of raw fish - sashimi.
In regards to the comments that Japanese are smart and make things better. That's an interesting point of view, but I guess if you're stuck on an Island with nothing to do, you might as well make things better or different so you can claim it as your own idea.
In regards to Japanese food being water based, that's hard to say, considering many Japanese restaurants (in Japan) serve some type of deep fried food - tempura, tonkatsu... etc with meals.
Chinese - very greasy, very sweet, very hot
Japanese - over all light taste
Hmmm... I can't see much similarities myself. Can you?
Copied is the wrong word. There are similarities, but this is because both China and Japan are Asian countries. For instance both culture use noodles, but in each culture the noodles will differ in they way they are used. And the way, what ingredients are added. The Chinese tend to stir-fry their noodles. While the Japanese put their noodles in soups.
As some have pointed out there are fods such as Sushi, Sashimi and Tempura which the Chinese do not have.
Have you ever had real Japanese food?
Japan is next to china, it is divided by water, I know Japanese food has different things that are not at Chinese restaurants, I just cant remember what they are right now
anything that is not doused in grease is original to Japan....
Chinese food uses tons of oil and fat in most of their dishes whereas dishes unique to Japan are relatively fat/oil free.
