Japanese people pay more attention to preserving food nutrition and reducing toxins when eating. The order of various cooking methods from good to bad should be: raw, steamed, boiled, fried, roasted and fried.

Japan is used to buying fresh vegetables and seafood in the market every day. Because they think that refrigerators can only keep fresh and nutrients will be lost in the process, they would rather work harder and buy fresh ingredients every day to ensure nutrition.

Japanese housewives attach great importance to their families' diet, and pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables and the balance of diet. Three meals a day are not repeated, even to the choice of food color and type. They are very concerned about their husbands' weight. Once they find that their husbands are fat or thin, they will immediately adjust their menus, because they think that weight is the most intuitive expression of people's physical condition.

Japanese people can't live without beans, such as black rice, black sesame, black beans, black fungus, black dates, silky fowl, squid, kelp, laver and so on. Once food is "blackened", its value doubles immediately. And black beans are the best in this black whirlwind.
