In Japan, breakfast is cold. He never shows his face, but he is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Eating breakfast can be said to be an iron law in the hearts of neon people.
Japan's breakfast industry won't spoil the peace every morning. You can hardly find a stall selling breakfast. Japanese usually have breakfast at home.
In Japan, breakfast is a meal like lunch, with white rice and soup. Full-time wives usually get up early to cook breakfast and lunch for their families. A good wife and mother are the guarantee of Japanese men's quality of life.
Breakfast in Japan is mainly divided into two categories: Japanese and Western.
Heshi breakfast
Traditional Japanese and Japanese breakfasts are mainly rice, miso soup, pickles and grilled fish. The staple food is rice, not dry rice, but rice porridge.
Miso soup is a food that Japanese people often eat, and it is basically eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its position in Japan is equivalent to that of rice porridge in China.
Grilled fish is an essential food for breakfast. A few years ago, Osaka, Japan also introduced a new regulation: where breakfast is sold, "fish must be included in the set meal".
Japanese breakfast packages sold in Japanese shops are basically grilled fish and rice packages, and they are also served with hot spring eggs and tofu.
In addition, Japanese breakfast also includes natto, udon noodles and vegetable salad. What's more, there are even beef and dolphins in the Japanese breakfast menu, and their prices are generally between 500 yen and 900 yen.
There are also some Japanese time-honored restaurants that will provide traditional breakfast lists and solemnly present them to diners: first, a cup of green tea and a plate of sour plum sausage to detoxify; Next is a hot spring egg, a grilled fish, a fish cake, a miso tofu soup, a bowl of rice and a natto. Salted fish, pickles or pickled ginger in plum juice can also be supplemented at any time.
Western breakfast
Compared with traditional Japanese breakfast, western breakfast is much more free. If you want to eat something simple, have a stuffed bread; If you want something extravagant, you can eat sausage bread, fried eggs and vegetable salad, and then add yogurt.
Japanese western breakfast usually consists of a glass of milk, a sandwich, a piece of salmon, a vegetable salad and a boiled egg.
There used to be a slogan in Japan-a glass of milk makes a nation strong. Japan's milk industry is very strong. Their milk is very fragrant and the price is very low. One liter costs only/kloc-0.00 yen, which is equivalent to six or seven yuan in China, but the taste and quality are higher than those of domestic products with the same price.
Of course, there are also many people who mix Japanese and foreign styles to eat together. Bread can be served with miso soup, pickles with sausages, and American scrambled eggs with natto. It can be said that it is quite casual.
Japanese people eat differently from us in China. We serve a dish in a bowl and soup in a bowl. A bowl of soybean milk and a fried dough stick for breakfast are very enjoyable.
Japanese people have a stronger sense of ceremony, and the dishes containing meals are small, rich and exquisite. After breakfast, 7-8 plates are not a problem at all.
Simple or exquisite dishes, each serving is not much, but it increases the sense of satisfaction and virtually avoids eating too much. The variety is rich, but it is "point-to-point". After eating it all, it will be 70% to 80% full, and the work in the morning will not be dizzy.
Sawako, a Japanese mother, said: "In Japan, breakfast is the most important and grand meal of the day. I will get up early and spend 30 minutes preparing breakfast for my children. Sometimes we eat fish, rice and miso soup, and sometimes we eat ham, eggs and vegetables. Fruit is also essential. "
Many mothers in Japan have to get up at least 5 am and start preparing breakfast for everyone in the family. They think that taking breakfast seriously will bring their families plenty of energy all day.
In the process of eating breakfast, I tasted the throb of affection and love, and every bite melted in my memory and blood. This is why we always miss our mother's vegetarian fried rice noodles and hand-rolled steamed bread, and we can't forget a buttered bread we shared with our lover.
However, if it happens that single dog lives alone, then the sense of ritual of breakfast does not exist. If you want to have breakfast, you can only do the following:
Friends who have traveled to Japan may have the impression that:
Walking in the street in the morning, there is no steaming breakfast shop in our country, and there will be no hawkers pushing trolleys along the street.
Then why is there no breakfast on the streets of Japan? Don't they all have breakfast? Friends must be very curious about this. Don't worry, please let you Shujun answer your question.
1. In Japan, people with families usually have breakfast at home.
Nutritionists emphasize that the scientific dietary principle should be "eat like an emperor for breakfast, like a commoner for Chinese food, and like a beggar for dinner".
Most Japanese put this dietary principle into practice.
Many housewives in Japanese families are full-time wives.
Taking care of the family's diet and daily life is their lifelong goal.
They are not careless about breakfast at all.
Housewives get up very early in the morning and make a nutritious and delicious breakfast for the whole family.
The traditional Japanese breakfast is mainly rice, including grilled fish, miso soup, fruit and so on. A hearty breakfast is enough for the whole family to have plenty of energy to go to school and work.
Moreover, breakfast is also a very ceremonial thing for them. The family sits around and chews slowly, instead of dealing with it.
The so-called demand determines the market, because most people choose to eat at home, so it is decided that even if the breakfast market exists, the business will not be hot.
Second, the high rent makes it uneconomical to let go of pure breakfast shops.
Japan is an island country with a small land and a large population, which is even more expensive in a densely populated city center.
High land price determines high rent, and the price of hired labor is also high.
So even if you open a breakfast shop, I am afraid it is a very uneconomical thing.
Third, the high demand for environmental sanitation determines that the sale of breakfast should be strictly supervised.
In our lively residential area, dozens of meters of stalls, hundreds of meters of shops, mobile stalls selling breakfast and breakfast shops can be seen everywhere.
According to the eating habits of China people, I don't feel satisfied if I don't eat steaming soybean milk, porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed stuffed buns and cakes.
Breakfast shops and early stalls not only bring convenience to ordinary people, but also cause some troubles to environmental sanitation management.
Oil pollution and flying insects may become the norm.
In Japan, the cleanliness of public places is world famous.
On their streets, even bicycles are rarely placed at will, and they are not allowed to set up stalls at will and sell them in the open air.
Otherwise, it will not only have an impact on environmental sanitation, but also hinder traffic.
In their country, behaviors that have an impact on the city appearance and environment are strictly prohibited.
There is still breakfast, but there is no special breakfast shop.
Although most Japanese can enjoy a hearty breakfast at home, it is impossible for singles who are working hard in the workplace to have enough time to prepare.
So how do these people solve the problem of eating breakfast?
Don't worry. Although it is rare to see a special breakfast shop in Japan, all kinds of convenience stores that can be seen everywhere offer breakfast, and the variety is not rich.
Such as bread, cakes, sandwiches, rice balls, hamburgers and various drinks.
Workers can buy it one night in advance and heat it in the microwave the next morning.
You can also go to the convenience store on your way to work.
This not only saves time, but also soothes the stomach and brings good energy to the day's work.
Seeing this, friends should understand why there is no breakfast on the streets of Japan.
As the saying goes, "Food is the most important thing for the people", so we should cherish our health and start with a rich breakfast in the morning.
If you are talking about soybean milk, steamed buns and fried dough sticks for breakfast, there are really few streets in Japan (in fact, steamed buns can also be bought in convenience stores).
In fact, there is breakfast on the streets of Japan, and there are convenience stores selling breakfast everywhere. Steamed bread, coffee, rice balls, bread. There are also some Japanese convenience food houses, such as sikiya, and there are also small portions of beef rice and noodles in the morning.
On the other hand, we also need to pay attention to Japanese living habits.
Generally, unmarried singles will buy something for breakfast at convenience stores after getting up, while married Japanese are used to cooking at home in the morning (cooked by their wives) and eating rice, miso soup, fish and pickles. It's really strange for China people to eat early in the morning. ).
Why do you have such eating habits? It is said that it is mainly Japanese people's love for rice and Japanese cuisine with "very balanced nutrition" as its selling point.
Anyone who knows Japan knows that Japanese people like to eat rice very much, and sometimes they basically "only eat rice" and can eat "I have a full sense of happiness".
It is understood that the general varieties of rice are divided into indica rice and japonica rice. Indica rice is mainly produced in subtropical areas such as India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, etc. It is eaten grain by grain, while temperate japonica rice, which Japanese people eat most often, is said to have originated from the remains of rape fields in Jintang City, Saga County 2,500 years ago. This kind of rice is sticky and sticky when cooked, so it will be "boiled dry".
In addition, Japanese people also like miso soup very much. Japanese miso soup can be divided into rice flavor, wheat flavor and bean flavor. The flavor enhancement of rice is carried out by the fermentation of soybean and rice, the flavor enhancement of wheat is carried out by the fermentation of soybean and barley or highland barley, and the flavor enhancement of soybean is carried out by using soybean alone. Generally speaking, what Japanese people eat most is the increase of bean flavor.
In addition, the love of fish is not to mention. Generally, saury or other kinds of fish will be served in the morning according to the seasonal changes, which is not only nutritious, but also a favorite taste of Japanese people.
Although there is not so much breakfast on the streets of Japan, in every happy Japanese family, the kitchen smells good in the morning. Do you want to marry a Japanese wife and let her make breakfast and have a taste?
Walking in the streets of Japan in the early morning, I can't see a breakfast shop.
Japanese people don't skip breakfast.
On the contrary, the Japanese attach great importance to breakfast! Because everyone eats breakfast at home, breakfast has a high status in Japan, even surpassing lunch!
There are no breakfast shops in Japan, because Japanese women regard cooking a big breakfast as a necessary family obligation. If you can't cook breakfast well, you are not even a qualified housewife.
Generally, after Japanese women get up in the morning, the most important thing is to make breakfast for the whole family and bring a box lunch to their families.
All this is determined by the family status of Japanese women. Traditional Japanese women must be full-time housewives after marriage. Although this situation has greatly improved among young women today, the traditional concept that Japanese women should do housework is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the traditional Japanese concept, married women have to rely on their husbands to support them.
If women go out to work, women generally get lower prices in the job market. If women don't want to be full-time housewives, they need to overcome huge obstacles to reach the same income level as men.
Therefore, women's sense of respect in the family needs to be realized through perfect family cooking to a great extent.
This article is an objective evaluation of Japanese breakfast culture, which will be compared with our breakfast. Please note that it is the difference of breakfast between China and Japan, not the difference of living standards between the two countries. Just say a meal in the morning, or three o'clock.
First, the biggest difference between Japanese breakfast and us is not the content of the food, but the way we eat it. They also adhere to the traditional eating habits, eating at home and eating by themselves. In fact, China has been like this since ancient times. Occasionally go to the streets to eat fried dough sticks and drink a bowl of soup, and make a rare sumptuous meal for a change. Breakfast was only started on the street 30 years ago, but it was not enough, which soon gave birth to a prosperous breakfast market.
Objectively speaking, our present breakfast style is not normal. The disadvantages of problem food and ingredients cannot be eliminated, the opportunity for family to get close through breakfast is lost, and the responsibility of family division of labor is blurred. Therefore, not eating breakfast at home has become one of the sources of instability in family relations.
Stable family relations are reflected in mutual understanding, mutual help and mutual care in housework. Cooking and eating are the main parts of housework. Without these, it is not a good phenomenon for everyone to just brush their mobile phones.
Second, what the Japanese want to eat is to enjoy food and be grateful for life. So they are willing to make breakfast hard, and the average family still won't repeat the same thing every day. The chef is doing it with his heart and expressing his feelings for his family with food. People who eat will naturally appreciate the food and the chef's work. This kind of family emotional construction, the sweeter the life.
Third, there are many breakfasts in Japan, but they are not special breakfasts. For example, coffee shops, American fast food restaurants and convenience stores all have fast food that can fill your stomach. Just to fill the stomach, there is no Japanese food enjoyment, let alone the quality of life, so I can't enter the mainstream of Japanese diet.
As for the high price and the high rent of facade rooms, they are not the main reasons for the lack of breakfast shops. In a word, breakfast along the street solves satiety, not enjoyment. For example, the fried dough sticks for breakfast are made of cheap oil. Why do you still eat them? Isn't it more fragrant and reassuring to eat peanuts fried at home? I just don't want to bother to do it to save trouble. I have to say that there is something wrong with the concept of life.
Breakfast is also served in Japanese streets, but according to some scenes or standards in China, those are not street breakfasts. For example, in large and small cities and even small counties in China, you can see more or less all kinds of breakfast places, types, prices, materials, hygiene, legality, various supply mechanisms and environments. I'm afraid Japan can't learn, and never will. ...
Every time I go back to Japan, when I am in Tokyo, I often make an appointment to have breakfast with my friends. Mostly cafes, where I eat bread and drink coffee. Many cafes are along the street, at intersections, or on the way of subway connecting shopping malls and office buildings. There are also fast food restaurants like Yoshinoya and Matsuya, many of which are also located at the gate of the station and on the street. In fact, they are easy to find. After all, it is breakfast, and the price is cheap. I think when you arrive in 30 yuan, you can have a breakfast with bread and drinks for 20 yuan. There are also many kinds, including western-style and Japanese-style, and the prices are varied. You can also enjoy breakfast such as bread, salad, coffee, etc. in a high-end place in Roppongi and in a beautiful place, about 50-60 RMB.
In short, breakfast is not served on the street in Japan. Judging from Chinese habits, scenes and attempts, Japan does not have a supply mechanism reminiscent of "guerrillas", but Japan also has a supply mechanism and culture of Japan. And I don't think the Japanese are a nation that ignores breakfast, especially the Japanese breakfast consisting of rice, miso soup, grilled fish, natto, ming prince, egg rolls and pickles. , is quite exquisite. You can also taste it in the street, and everyone will have a chance to taste it in Japan. Welcome to Japan.
It is wrong that there is no breakfast in Japan Street. Actually, there are many, but individual restaurants like China are rare. There is also the reason why China people have the impression that there is no breakfast shop in Japan. Maybe it's because there is no breakfast in Japan where lunch and dinner are obviously different from fried dough sticks and soybean milk, as in China. China is rich in breakfast, and China is rich in varieties because we had a highly developed agricultural era. There are many kinds of derivative dishes of agricultural products, just like Japan and Germany, where there are developed industrial eras and exquisite and diverse industrial products. For example, cosmetics, entering Japanese stores is simply dazzling. I won't say much about this, which means that if you want to find breakfast like China, I'm afraid you can't find it in any other country in the world except China (Indian situation is not well known, and it may be similar to China). Japanese food itself is not as diverse as China's, so there are not many kinds of breakfast. Basically divided into food (rice, miso soup, grilled fish, hot spring eggs, etc. ); Foreign food (bread, milk, fried eggs, bacon, etc. ) These two kinds of breakfasts are mainly eaten at home in Japan, and they are also easy to find on the street. For example, Yoshinoya, Matsuya and Ikeya can be found in almost every subway station. Besides, there are many McDonald's. So it is wrong to say that there are no breakfast shops on the streets of Japan or it is difficult to find breakfast shops.
However, apart from chain restaurants, individual breakfast shops are rarely seen. The main reason is that it is difficult to hire a part-time worker in the morning. The cost of working in Japan is not cheap. McDonald's, which used to work, was particularly short of people who could work in the morning. Chain stores can extend the evening work to the morning, and employees can basically be in the store in the morning. But individuals can rarely open a 24-hour shop. So it's hard to find someone who starts work at 6-8 in the morning.
There was a survey report that Japanese mothers should prepare breakfast for the whole family at least at five in the morning. After breakfast, they have to prepare lunch and let their families take it to school and company at noon. Then they have to go out at 7 o'clock and start buying food and washing clothes. There is also a saying that the happiest thing in life is "living in an American house, eating China food and marrying a Japanese woman." This family culture in Japan also has a slight influence on the breakfast industry in Japan. Japanese breakfast can only be eaten at home. "
Of course, if you want breakfast, you can only go to the convenience store to buy rice balls and sandwiches. Or go to chain stores like Yoshinoya and McDonald's. What surprises you the most is that breakfast in Japanese hearts is exactly the same as dinner, with a bowl of rice, vegetables and soup. So in Japan, it is very happy to have a family, and the wife usually prepares a big breakfast and enjoys it together!
I have worked in Japan for more than six years. In Japan, there is not a shop that doesn't sell breakfast, but there are very few shops that specialize in breakfast, such as fried dough sticks, soybean milk, oil cakes, porridge paste, Hu spicy soup, southern morning tea and so on.
There are few such special breakfast shops in Japan, except that they open in the morning and close after these breakfasts are sold, but many Lamian Noodles shops and bento shops are open early, and breakfast can be bought. Of course, many hotels also provide breakfast.
Japanese people go out to buy breakfast, or not many people eat breakfast outside. As we all know, Japanese women are basically full-time wives after marriage. One of their important jobs is to make breakfast for their husbands and children in the morning and prepare lunch for them at noon. The children's lunch made by Japanese housewives is very exquisite, and it is simply a work of art, which makes children have an appetite.
Japanese breakfast is relatively simple, just a few rice and a bowl of miso soup. Another Japanese habit that most people in China can't accept is eating raw eggs. Japanese raw eggs are very strange and have no smell. They can be put in rice or used as a seasoning for hot pot. Rice with raw eggs tastes slippery. Of course, when I first went to Japan, I didn't dare to try for a long time, and then I overcame my psychological barrier.
Breakfast is Lamian Noodles, followed by western breakfast, bread, milk, sausage, fried eggs and so on. Of course, there will also be Chinese breakfast shops in places where people live in China. In most other places, there are no foods specially used for breakfast, such as fried dough sticks, soybean milk, oil cakes, pies, porridge paste, sweet foam, hot soup and so on. Their breakfast type is basically the same as lunch and dinner. Only in China can we be very particular about food. There are many kinds of food, and breakfast has special ingredients and types.
Moreover, the Japanese are famous for eating less, and many people eat very little breakfast. I have a male colleague in his thirties who actually ate a big jelly for breakfast. It's incredible.
People who have families generally don't eat breakfast outside. Nowadays, there are many singles in Japan, and many single dog can only prepare their own breakfast. In addition to having breakfast at Lamian Noodles's and fast food restaurants in single dog in the morning, Japanese convenience stores are located in every corner of urban and rural areas, even more densely distributed than domestic pharmacies. Many of these convenience stores are open 24 hours a day and generally sell cooked food at very low prices. So many single dog not only have breakfast, but also Chinese food and dinner, which can be used as breakfast or Chinese food after being heated by microwave oven.
For these reasons, the subject did not find a professional breakfast shop in Japan. So I stayed in Japan for a long time and missed the professional breakfasts in China.
Breakfast shops are really rare on the streets of big cities in Japan, but small cities are different. It is incorrect to say that there is no breakfast on the streets of big cities in Japan. It should be said that there is no breakfast shop specializing in breakfast for two reasons.
One reason: housewives are the first choice for Japanese women's career planning, and one of the main tasks of married women is to make breakfast and lunch for their children and husbands (dinner is either homemade or bought back, married women and children eat at home, and married men have to socialize). In other words, married people and students have breakfast at home.
Reason 2: There are many breakfast choices in convenience stores, such as 7- 1 1, FamilyMart, LAWSON, etc., all of which provide a variety of breakfasts, including: various sandwiches, various hamburgers, rice balls, hot dogs, Guandong cooking, bread, toast, cakes, and various drinks (pure milk, flavored milk, etc. . . ), many students don't like to eat breakfast at home, so they eat two at home or go to school without eating, and then buy breakfast at the convenience store.
The density of convenience stores in Japanese cities is extremely high, so there must be more than one convenience store on the way to work or school.
Some people say that there is no special breakfast shop in Japan because the rent is too expensive, right or wrong. In the alleys of big cities in Japan, we can also see some traditional dim sum shops from time to time, such as grilled squid, octopus balls and special cakes. This demand is less than breakfast, and we can still live. It is true that the rent is high (the above shops are relatively small), but it is not the fundamental reason why there are no breakfast shops in big cities.
The convenience store culture in Taiwan Province Province is a Japanese copy, but there are still many breakfast shops all over Taiwan Province Province, even pushing small dining cars to sell rice balls, steamed buns, soybean milk and rice paste. Breakfast culture in Taiwan Province Province is very rich, although there are many convenience stores selling breakfast on the street. This may explain one thing: most housewives in Taiwan Province Province don't cook breakfast, and the position of "housewife" is not the life goal of women in Taiwan Province Province (except those who run breakfast shops). Ah! Sorry, digression!
