There are also raw fish, fish and shrimp sauce and other dishes.

Everyone has his own rice bowl and soup bowl, and all other dishes are placed in the middle of the table for everyone to enjoy.

Japanese
When it comes to diet, it is not only a Japanese-style meal with rice as the staple food and vegetables, fish and meat as the non-staple food, but also a China meal in western Europe, where you can enjoy a variety of meals.
Japan is a country with abundant high-quality water resources and perfect sanitary facilities, so tap water can be drunk anywhere in Japan.
Modern Japanese culture is even more colorful. While studying the traditional Japanese culture since ancient times, such as tea ceremony and flower path, girls also dance disco. It's not unusual to see the city, ancient temples and high-rise buildings built next to each other. Therefore, modern Japanese culture is formed by combining ancient, emerging, western and oriental cultures.
Japanese people generally like to eat raw fish, so sushi covered with sashimi is the most popular food in Japan.
Japanese cuisine pays great attention to maintaining the original flavor of food, and does not advocate adding too many seasonings, mainly light.
In particular, there is a high demand for the color of dishes. Not only are all kinds of exquisite containers used to hold food, but also the shape, arrangement and color matching of food are carefully considered.
Looking at the Japanese cuisine that is as delicate as a landscape painting, tourists who have just arrived in Japan often can't bear to destroy that beauty.
Thai people
Whether the taste is spicy or light, harmony is the guiding principle for every dish. In essence, Thai cooking is organically combined by the influence of the East and the West with hundreds of years of history, forming a unique Thai diet.
The characteristics of Thai cuisine depend on the chef, diners, occasions and cooking places to satisfy everyone's appetite. Thai cooking originally reflected the characteristics of aquatic lifestyle. Aquatic animals, plants and herbs are the main ingredients.
Avoid using large pieces of meat. Later, the influence led to the use of quite large pieces of meat in the Thai diet.
Because of their Buddhist background, Thais avoid using large pieces of animal meat. Large pieces of meat are chopped and mixed with herbs and spices.
Traditional cooking methods in Thailand are steaming, baking or barbecue. Influenced by China, the methods of frying, frying and frying were introduced. Since17th century, cooking methods have been influenced by Portugal, Netherlands, France and Japan. In the late17th century, Portuguese missionaries got used to the taste of red pepper in South America, so they introduced red pepper into Thai food.
Thais are very good at "Siam-Yi Shi" foreign cooking methods and substitute some ingredients.
Butter used in Indian diet was replaced by coconut oil, and coconut juice replaced other dairy products. Reduce the use of too strong pure spices and increase fresh herbs, such as lemongrass and galangal.
Finally, use less spices in Thai curry and increase the use of fresh herbs. Usually, people know that Thai curry has a strong spicy taste, but it lasts for a short time, while other curries have a strong spicy taste, which lasts for a long time.
Thai food is served not in a certain order, but at once, so that diners can enjoy the complementary and combined flavors.
A complete Thai meal should include a soup, a curry with seasoning, fish and vegetables. Salads with spices can replace curry dishes.
Soup can also be spicy, but curry should be replaced by non-spicy dishes. Every dish and the whole meal must be coordinated in taste and material.
