Japan

•
Japan ( 日本国 ) is an island naon in East Asia. Located in the Pacic Ocean, it lies
to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia,
stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in
the south. The characters that make up Japan's name means "sun-origin", which is
why Japan is often referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
•
The culture of Japan has evolved greatly over the millennia, from the country's
prehistoric Jōmon period, to its contemporary hybrid culture, which combines influences
from Asia, Europe, and North America. The inhabitants of Japan experienced a long
period of relative isolation from the outside world during the Tokugawa shogunate, until
the arrival of "The Black Ships" and the Meiji period.

Japanese cuisine is the food—ingredients, preparation and way of eating—of Japan. The
traditional food of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes, each in its own
utensil, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The side dishes often consist of fish, pickled
vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Fish is common in the traditional cuisine. It is often
grilled, but it may also be served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also

as beef, horse and deer) and foods (such as yuba tofu skin and konnyaku) can also be
served as sashimi. Some people confuse sashimi with sushi. Unlike sashimi, sushi
includes vinegared rice.
Most types of sashimi are seasoned with soy sauce by dipping each piece into a small
dish of soy sauce before eating it. It is usually the diners' responsibility to fill the
small dishes with soy sauce, and it is good manner to pour only as much soy sauce as
needed.
Depending on the type of sashimi, a little bit of wasabi or ground ginger may be
added to the sashimi piece. This is most elegantly done by dabbing the wasabi or
ginger directly onto the pieces of sashimi (as opposed to mixing it into the soy
sauce). Some people also enjoy eating the daikon and shiso garnishes; both
vegetables have a fresh, minty taste.
Yakitori are grilled chicken skewers made from bite sized pieces of meat from all
different parts of the chicken, such as the breasts, thighs, skin, liver and other innards.
Usually made to order and cooked over charcoal, yakitori is a popular, inexpensive
dish commonly enjoyed together with a glass of beer. The best yakitori is served at
specialty restaurants, known as yakitori-ya, but it can also be found at many other
types of restaurants across Japan, such as izakaya, and at festival food stands.

Shabu-shabu was introduced in Japan in the 20th century with the opening of the restaurant in
Osaka, where the name was invented. Its origins are traced back to the Chinese hot pot known as
shuan yang rou. Shabu-shabu is most similar to the original Chinese version when compared to
other Japanese dishes (such as sukiyaki). Suehiro registered the name as a trademark in 1955.
Together with sukiyaki, shabu-shabu is a common dish in tourist hot-spots, especially in Tokyo,
but also in local Japanese neighborhoods (often called "Little Tokyos") in countries such as the
United States and Canada.
