Some of them have the same meaning.
Some have some changes.
Japanese food is tasted with eyes, which is true, but more accurately, it should be tasted with five senses. Namely: eye visual taste; Smell tasting; Auditory taste; Touch-touch tasting; Nature also has the taste of the tip of the tongue-taste. So when it comes to what you can taste, the first is five flavors. The five flavors may be as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty as Chinese food. And cooking needs five colors, black and white and red Huang Qing. After the five colors are complete, you need to consider the nutritional balance. Japanese cuisine includes five basic conditioning methods: cutting, boiling, roasting, steaming and frying. Cooking Japanese food is basically using these five basic conditioning methods, which is not as complicated as cooking in China. So I think the cooking method of Japanese food should be simple.
In addition to five flavors, Japanese food has a sixth flavor-light. "Light" means to fully extract the original flavor of raw materials. In a word, Japanese cuisine is a kind of cuisine based on five flavors (actually six flavors), five colors and five methods, and tasted with five senses.
There are also containers corresponding to cooking places, which are also very important and exquisite, and are omitted here.
What is the basis of Japanese cuisine and how did it evolve to today? First of all, there is a traditional cooking system based on culture and habits. This may be the same in any country. In Japan, it is called this dish. (Japanese food: a very formal Japanese banquet) Now there are restaurants specializing in Japanese food. Then the tea ceremony was formed in medieval Japan (referring to the Kamakura and Muromachi times in Japan), which resulted in Shi Huai cuisine (Shi Huai cuisine: exquisite dishes presented to guests before drinking tea), which was formed on the basis of very strict rules. Looking back, with the development of social activities of ordinary citizens, restaurants came into being. Similarly, with the development of restaurants in China, such as Beijing cuisine. In Japan, banquet cuisine (banquet cuisine: sumptuous banquet) is also formed with the development. It is based on Japanese cuisine and Shihuai cuisine, which is simplified. Of course, it also includes all kinds of local dishes. The above contents are the main factors that form Japanese cuisine now.
Characteristics of Japanese Cuisine-Essential Seasoning
Speaking of Japanese food in Shanghai, some of them don't quite meet the tastes of Shanghainese and Japanese. Why? It is nothing more than careless selection of materials, and the original flavor of raw materials has not been completely extracted. Because there is no [light taste], the taste is poor. The light taste of the dishes is very important, and of course, the seasonings such as water, soy sauce and essence are also very important. Then, I will talk about the characteristics of Japanese cuisine from the perspective of seasoning. The juice of Japanese cuisine is extracted from dried bonito and dried kelp. Dried bonito is made by drying bonito in the sun in a very special way. There is no such method in China. In Japan, the finished dried bonito is produced and supplied by a specialized company. Moreover, according to the different parts of dried bonito, the juice made has different tastes and uses, and it is also made of mackerel. Seaweed is also dry, which is called kelp in Chinese. There seems to be no fine distinction between kelp in China, but the varieties of kelp used to make Japanese cooking juice must be strictly distinguished, whether it is biennial seaweed, whether it is harvested in summer, whether it is harvested and dried on the same day, and the processing method after drying has strict regulations. , is by no means an easy thing. The collocation of dried bonito and kelp is related to what juice to make, and the taste of juice is related to the taste of cooking. There are also juices made of sardines, flying fish, scallops, shrimps and fish bones. In any case, although the juice is slightly light, it must fully reflect the essence of raw materials and the color should be transparent.
The biggest difference between seasoning and China cooking is the use of flavor. The taste not only endows the dishes with natural sweetness, but also makes them shine, which has cooking effects that other seasonings do not have in condensing and maintaining the essence and deliciousness of raw materials. The taste can also effectively prevent the dishes from falling apart and keep the original shape. In Japanese cuisine, when learning western cuisine, taste is also indispensable, such as open-hearth barbecue and eel roasting. Now, in China, you can often see China people drinking Japanese sake while eating. Among them, Baojiu Company, which produces' Songzhumei' sake, now produces very high-quality essence in China.
Speaking of soy sauce, there are five varieties: light soy sauce, thick soy sauce and white soy sauce. Use different varieties according to different purposes. It is not an exaggeration to say that cooking with soy sauce.
There are countless varieties of miso. According to different raw materials, there are decimeter miso, wheat miso, bean miso and so on. It is said that it was spread from China to Japan, and now it is used more than Chinese food, which is an essential seasoning in daily life. Vinegar is also a daily condiment. It is said that it originally came from China, but now it tastes completely different from China vinegar. China vinegar can't be used in sushi, and Japanese vinegar can't be used in steamed buns. As the most basic seasoning, there are naturally sugar and salt.
The above is a general description of seasoning, which is also fermented. China and Japan use condiments differently. As mentioned above, Japanese cuisine uses seasonings to bring out the original flavor of the ingredients more fully, while China cuisine uses seasonings to enhance its delicacy.
Cooking, because of different customs, will have corresponding changes. Japanese cuisine is naturally different from Japan in China and must be accepted and loved by China people. If it becomes China's, Chinese food will definitely taste better.

About seven or eight years ago, sashimi once said in China that eating raw marine fish would lead to urticaria. But now, sashimi can also be seen in ordinary Chinese restaurants.

Sushi is a very free dish, but traditional rules must be strictly observed in hygiene. Otherwise it will become very dangerous food.

You can also drink soup paper, which has the delicious taste of bonito.
