Let’s explore Japanese food through its culture!
Japanese Meal Style: More Than Just Sushi
Japanese meals are unique in many ways. While Japanese food has gained global popularity, the deeper cultural context behind how meals are prepared and enjoyed is still not widely understood. This blog introduces Japanese cuisine in a more cohesive and thoughtful way—so that its core values and benefits can be truly appreciated.
How Do Japanese People “See” Their Meals?
To understand Japanese food culture, it’s important to look beyond ingredients and recipes. If you’re curious about Japanese meals, there are cultural perspectives worth knowing in advance. These insights can help you expand your cooking repertoire and experience meals in a new, meaningful way.
About Me
Hideaki Motohashi（Jei）
Hi, I’m a Japanese guy passionate about sharing the beauty of Japanese food. I believe it can contribute to better global health and bring more joy to everyday eating. I’ve come to realize that Western approaches to nutrition and meal structure differ greatly from those in Japan. That’s why I want to share my personal way of preparing meals and the things I consider important for maintaining a healthy balance.
For example, Japanese people often prefer white rice as a staple. You might already know that—but I’d love to explain why from my own perspective. I believe this understanding can be helpful and eye-opening. After all, we all want food that’s both delicious and nourishing.
Through this blog, I hope to introduce Japanese dishes along with the cultural mindset behind them—so you can enjoy adding them to your cooking repertoire, or simply discover something new and tasty.
