Japanese food is also diverse and colorful, but why is there so little delicious mutton in Japan?

Japanese people don't like pork and mutton.

Mainly because I don’t have this habit. Animals like sheep were rarely seen in Japan before, let alone eaten.

The mutton smell is also not very popular with Japanese people.

Only Hokkaido was encouraged by the Meiji government to open up wasteland and raise sheep, and more people were affected by this than in other regions.

The annual mutton consumption in Japan is only tens of thousands of tons, and half of it is eaten by Hokkaido people.

In comparison, the production of cattle, pigs, and chickens is about one to two million tons.

Fish and other seafood products amount to six to seven million tons.

The position of mutton in ordinary Japanese recipes is ignored, which means it is only used in some Western-style meals.

But it’s not because of the price. Mutton is cheaper than beef in both international market prices and supermarket retail prices. As long as you want to import as much as you want from Australia and New Zealand, it’s not difficult to buy mutton. Larger supermarkets have frozen mutton or mutton.

Lamb rolls are sold.

They just don't like eating this.

The reason why they are sold frozen is because they sell too slowly, and they will spoil if they are not frozen.

This mutton has a very special taste, and the mutton smell is very strong, but after it is properly processed, it still tastes very delicious, and the nutritional value of mutton is also very high, which is good for our bodies.

It also has a very good nourishing effect. We will find out why the Japanese don’t eat mutton. Many people find it very difficult to understand, not just because they can’t afford it.

Mutton has a warming effect, especially in the cold winter, we will find that mutton soup is sold everywhere in the streets and alleys. Drinking some mutton soup can prevent cold and keep warm, and it is also suitable for people who are not in particularly good health.

It has a strong nourishing effect, so why don’t the Japanese eat mutton?

Smart people have summed up this sentence, that is, "people who like to eat cannot afford it, and people who don't like to eat are not willing to eat it even if they can afford it."

In fact, in general, the Japanese do not eat mutton for their own reasons. First of all, Japan is an island country with a very small land area and is surrounded by the ocean. Moreover, there are many types of Japanese seafood and the price is very cheap.

Precisely because we rely on the mountains and the sea to eat, there are very few places to raise livestock in Japan, and the agricultural industry is not particularly developed, so the price of mutton itself is particularly expensive.

The price of mutton in Japan is very expensive. For those who like to eat mutton, it is not something they can eat if they want. Many people like to eat it very much, but because of its price, it also makes everyone prohibitive, so people who like to eat it simply cannot

It is unaffordable to eat. In addition, another reason is that the Japanese do not know how to make it. They cannot master the method and technique of removing the smell of mutton.

For wealthy people in Japan, even if they can afford to eat mutton, they are unwilling to eat it because the taste is not suitable. That is why the Japanese do not eat mutton, not just because they cannot afford it.
