Japanese breakfast can be described in four words, that is, "extremely simple". It looks like very simple ingredients, but it can be made very beautifully. There are two reasons for this phenomenon. One is that Japanese people pay more attention to ritual, and the other is that there are very few breakfast restaurants in Japan. Breakfast is very important to people, and Japanese people who pay attention to rituals will never lose the habit of eating breakfast.

1. Most Japanese people pay attention to the sense of ritual.

We can learn from TV or some books that the Japanese attach great importance to the sense of ritual. They have special requirements for themselves in life and work. Moreover, there are unique customs in Japan, such as the male leading the household and the female leading the household. We can see from TV that most Japanese women will not work again after they get married. They will choose to stay at home and be a good wife who takes care of their husband and children. Moreover, their married life is mutually respectful. The man works hard to make money, and the woman is responsible for handling the affairs at home. Breakfast every day is essential, and they all hope to prepare the most exquisite breakfast for their husbands.

2. There are basically no breakfast shops in Japan

Unless there is a special reason, Japanese people eat breakfast at home, which is very different from that in China. There are many breakfast restaurants in China, such as steamed buns, fried dough sticks, sesame cakes, spicy soup, etc. You can find them everywhere on the way to work. Japan is a little different. Breakfast restaurants are very rare, and only supermarkets and the like sell cooked food. Most of them are rice balls, sandwiches, etc. Rather than eating them out, it’s better to eat them at home. Their breakfast is more reasonable, such as rice, natto, miso soup, etc. These can be reflected in anime, which shows how important breakfast is to Japanese people.

I remember when I was a child, I often watched "Crayon Shin-chan" and "Chibi Maruko-chan". Their breakfasts were like this. Although they looked very simple, they were all very exquisite. Perhaps this is the difference between different ethnic groups. Some people are not used to eating breakfast, while others regard breakfast as a ritual.
