Japan is a small country surrounded by the sea, so their food has a remarkable feature, that is, it is small and refined, and they like to eat it raw! It is said that this way of eating was introduced from the Tang Dynasty in China. China called it fish, and the Japanese named it sashimi!

Nowadays, China people seldom eat raw meat, but Japanese people like it. Aren't they afraid of eating parasites? First of all, most Japanese sashimi fish come from the ocean. It is said that there are few parasites in the fish in the ocean. Secondly, when Japanese cook sashimi, they also spray it with hot water selectively, which is said to kill most parasites! Finally, most Japanese chefs are very meticulous, and the parasites visible to the naked eye are basically cleaned up!

Secondly, the Japanese generally believe that marine fish are safe and not afraid of strange diseases, but river fish are not safe, so few people eat river fish. In addition, the strange worms of marine fish are usually in the internal organs of fish when they are alive, but they may move into the fish a few days after death, so stale fish are at greater risk. ?

Freezing below MINUS 20 degrees can kill strange insects as well as heating, and sake can also disinfect to some extent. ?

Also, they know exactly which fish is safer and which sashimi is safer. Moreover, in Japan, the requirements in this respect are very strict, so the probability of really strange insects is very small. ?

In case the strange insects of marine fish enter the human body, ordinary strange insects can only live for a few days. Symptoms are also abdominal pain for 2-3 days, which is not so serious to the body. ?

The Japanese have always been bold and will do anything to eat! Even poisonous puffer fish and octopus that can choke people dare to eat raw. Many Japanese don't care about parasites!

So Japanese people like to eat raw food and are not afraid of parasites.
