The Chinese and Japanese food culture is similar, why Japan does not have a "breakfast culture"?

We all know that China and Japan's food culture is very similar, only the Japanese model specialties, there will be several are spread from China. But China and Japan are very different, which makes the food culture in the two places have completely different trends. Breakfast, for one, is a big subdivision.

Chinese breakfast culture and art can be described as colorful and varied. Although the Chinese people eat breakfast for a long time is not long, in nearly nearly a hundred years before the popularity of eating breakfast, but just a few decades, around the morning meal culture and art to produce the main vein, has long become a vital part of Chinese food culture. Estimates and not to mention the more common morning meal such as baklava doughnut, steamed buns, then say good more than one famous morning meal, people will nod their heads and praise.

Beijing's fried noodle dumplings, Wuhan's Wuhan hot dry noodles, Minnan's noodle soup, Henan's huzhi soup, Shanxi's "brain", Shanghai's sticky rice balls, Guangdong's morning tea, Inner Mongolia's siu mai (beef dumplings) - are you salivating at the mere mention of the name of this morning meal? These are just a few of the many breakfast dishes that can be found across the country, and if you were to gather them all together, you'd have a pretty thick encyclopedic dictionary.

Looking at Japan again, the Japanese do not eat breakfast? In fact, not, three meals a day is the definition of the cultural media in Western countries come in, the Japanese people also eat breakfast. Only Japan's streets do not have breakfast store, but a variety of convenience stores and cafes. Convenience stores and cafes are a good choice for breakfast.

Convenience stores are basically at a level where there is one in three or five steps. Convenience stores in Japan offer breakfast such as triangular rice balls, steamed buns, and sandwiches, and it is not uncommon for ordinary people to buy breakfast at convenience stores. However, convenience stores are limited in the amount of breakfast they can offer, and it is unlikely that they can stock all of them every morning, so it is important for wage earners to go a little earlier than other people to be able to buy the breakfast of their choice. If you go late, the convenience store does not have any breakfast can choose, then you can only go hungry.

For some people who have free time in the morning and have more money left in their hands, choosing to go to a cafe for breakfast is also a very good preference. Cafes generally give Western-style breakfast, that is, freshly ground coffee, sandwiches, bacon meat, scrambled eggs, toast bread and other breakfast. People who love western style breakfast will look for these cafes that give breakfast in the morning and take care of their meal.

What about Japanese students? If you have a good wife or a father who wants to get up and cook in the morning, you are more likely to have Japanese breakfast at home in the morning. The way of Japanese breakfast is rice + pickled coleslaw + raw egg + miso, if there is a breakfast, then there must be convenient. So the students' breakfast is something they eat at home.

Overall out to see, the Japanese commuters this is the most bitter, not only in the morning to hurry to catch up, take the subway to work. Even breakfast have to try to buy a little earlier than others, otherwise you need to starve. If you really do not want to go outside to buy convenience store breakfast, want to eat inside the home, then only eat a simple raw egg bibimbap. Compare and contrast with China's breakfast culture and art, the difference is really too big.
