Japanese Culture(Chisato Nozawa)

Today , I would like to introduce about Japanese food culture.

Do you know DAIZU ?

It is called Soybeans in English.

Japanese like soybeans very much and eat a lot.
It can be processed in many foods. For example, Soy sause ,Miso,Nattoand Tofu.
Soybeans is fermented ,dried and crushed.
Japanese use dip soy sause with Natto.
It is soybeans on soybeans!! Very funny!

 

These days, soybeans are gaining attention in the world because soybeans have a lot of nutrition

That’s why it is called a miracle food.
In the United State,the production amount of soybeans is very high.

 

The traditional day of Japan is February 3.
On the evening of this day, people open the doors of their houses and throw handful soybeans to the demons so that bad luck disappears and good luck comes into their house.
 
My favorite soybeans food is Misosoup.
We dissolve Miso with hot water.
Soybeans are very important food in Japan culture and Japanese everyday life.
What is a food like soybeans that you eat well in the world?

 

 

A good holiday ;D
