The 2012 JET-MIP itinerary is different from an ordinary vacation in Japan. Some of my family and friends who have visited Japan told me about the various tourist attractions or their favorite foods. Although I agree that the landmarks are remarkable and the food is delicious, this program showed me a different side of Japan and the spirit of the people is what impressed me the most.

Yakitori is a Japanese skewered meat, mainly chicken, and is a favorite for many people due to the quickness in which it's served, and the ease of finding it at restaurants and izakayas. There are all sorts of meat cuts and parts that is available in yakitori and is often a popular food to pair with beer. It somehow tastes so much different, than home made skewered chicken, in the best possible way. People visiting from Japan may find it a fun and convenient meal to enjoy on a night out.
For centuries, Japanese have used food and their recipes to present some aspects of their cultures and traditions. Different Japanese dishes stand for various cultures and tradition that are dominant in Japan. Remarkably, individuals in Japan use their different recipes and food to express some aspects of their culture. Since Japanese food has been in existence for several years, they represent a significant part of their lifestyles. Therefore, the essay explains the cultural presentation of Sushi and Okonomiyaki recipes.
The Ayme family of Tingo, Ecuador, was pictured with a haul of vegetables. The Natomo family of Kouakourou, in south-central Mali, sat for a portrait on the roof of their home with sacks of grains. And among the favorite foods listed by the Madsen family of Greenland was polar bear and the skin of a narwhal, or a medium-sized toothed whale.
The Japanese have given the world great food. Sushi, tempura and instant ramen are recognized and eaten in every major city in the world and not just by expatriate Japanese. Ashkenazi and Jacob take us back to the roots of that cuisine, arguing that Japanese food is not just food. Japanese food is inextricably linked to cultural practices and social interactions particular to Japan. So this book is not just about food, cooking and eating, but also about culture, as you would expect from a pair of anthropologists. The Essence of Japanese Cuisine is a timely addition to the growing anthropological literature on food, and fills the remarkable gap in academic Japanese studies on the same subject. There are serious flaws in the conception and execution of this "essay" which make further studies and discourse necessary, but it is certainly a substantial contribution in an important area.
"The Art of Dining" chapter uses the tea ceremony (chanoyu) and sushi as the quintessential dining experiences, the inescapable references which are unquestionably the most distinctive forms of Japanese cuisine. Here the authors examine the concept of connoisseurship, which they claim is "an honest expression of a cultural imperative" (p. 209) in Japan. This is, unfortunately, one of the few places where the issue of Japanese as eaters rather than as cooks or sociological niches is directly addressed. It is at this point, if not before, that the astute reader will realize how absent Japanese voices have been in this study. The lingering descriptions of food events by Jacob and Ashkenazi are good participant observation, but Japanese who are not involved in the food industry have almost no voice. The few descriptions of home cooking are either generalized aggregate descriptions or special event meals with guests, a relatively rare event in Japan. When they do ask non-professionals, the results are mixed: "One of our acquaintances, a professional Shinto priest, laughed when asked about the ritual and symbolic significance of some of the colour combinations and food arrangements in offerings. 'They simply look better that way. Making an offering look good is simply making an offering: there is no difference, because food, for the kami or anyone else, is seen as much as tasted'" (p. 155, emphasis in original). Though there are places where they acknowledge the importance of individual agency in developing culture (e.g. pp. 142, n. 4; 186; 197), this essay is a rather rarified presentation of food. The book provides ammunition to self-styled gourmets and "experts" in their constant quest for intimidating "inner knowledge" (p. 208), as much as it illuminates the structure of a complex and interesting society.
Ashkenazi and Jacob conclude with a tribute to Japan not just as the source of extraordinary new foods, but as a model of innovation and adaptation. Readers who found the tone of the book to be somewhat worshipful will find confirmation here: "Where European sensibilities searched first for quantities of food, and only later were tamed into the realm of taste and restraint, never really losing the preference for great masses of food and grandiose gastronomic statements ... Japanese preference has always been for a great variety (if possible) of small items, prepared as naturally as possible, and presented elegantly." (p. 222; emphasis in original) They take a strong stand supporting "traditional" food values (seasonal local ingredients; indescribably subtle connoisseurship; individual service) over modern "industrial" food culture (diversity of ingredients, efficiencies of scale), though they try to reconcile the two by using Japanese gradualism (real or imagined) as a model for world food culture. (pp. 46-51, 142, 165, 200-211, 222-223) Japan, in their view, is a food-connoisseurship society, efficient in its use of resources, with healthful and tasteful food accessible, due to relatively even wealth distribution, to most of its members. Japanese food even has the potential to alleviate the anomie and hyper-individualism of Twenty-first century life (pp. 218-221). This essay, then, like so many others in the realm of business, design, and education, takes a distinctly Japanese approach to solving the problems of the Western world. Jacob and Ashkenazi make it clear that cuisine is culturally integrated, not easily exported: the Japanese are different, and only by grasping that difference in its totality can we be saved. It is a disappointing conclusion to a flawed but engaging argument.

I have lovely memories from when I was young, doing hanami with my parents, brother, and sister. My mom packed a special lunch box, hanami bento, full of our favorite foods. My father was in charge of securing a good place for us at the famous park by placing a blanket under the cherry trees in the early morning.
Two uniquely Japanese foods are sushi (fresh raw seafood with rice) and sashimi (fresh raw seafood with soy sauce); both rely on freshly caught fish or seafood. Dishes prepared in a single pot ( nabemeno ) are popular throughout Japan. Sukiyaki is a dish made up of paper-thin slices of beef (or sometimes chicken), vegetables, and cubes of tofu cooked in broth. Shabu-shabu is beef and vegetables, also cooked in broth but then dipped in flavorful sauces. Each region has its own selection of favorite foods. People living on the cold northern island of Hokkaido enjoy potatoes, corn, and barbecued meats. Foods in western Japan tend to be more delicately flavored than those in the east.
Noodles are very popular for lunch (and as a snack), and a restaurant or take-out stand referred to as a noodle house is a popular spot for lunch. A typical lunch would be a bowl of broth with vegetables, seaweed, or fish. The bento is a traditional box lunch packed in a small, flat box with dividers. It includes small portions of rice, meat, fish, and vegetables. Stores sell ready-made bento for take out and some even have Western-style ingredients like spaghetti or sausages. A favorite among young people, and as a take-out food, is a stuffed rice ball called onigiri. 2ff7e9595c
