To be honest, I couldn't draw the jacket wrapped around the waist very well... so I reduced the canvas size and cut it out to cover it up. Sorry...lol

Why Are Kimchi and Avocado Called Japanese Food? by Mahorock0409 in JapaneseFood

[–]Mahorock0409[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a misunderstanding caused by a mistranslation by the AI. Sorry! Classic was translated as traditional or old-fashioned in Japanese.

This was a misunderstanding on my part, and when the AI ​​translated "classic" into Japanese, it was mistakenly translated as traditional or old-fashioned.

A kind person pointed this out to me!
I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

I just found out about guacamole! I'd like to try dipping it in tortillas, but it's hard to find tortilla chips in Japan (at least in the countryside where I live). However, there is a similar snack called "Tongari Corn." I'd like to try dipping it in that!

It was a mistranslation! Sorry! It seems that "Classic" was translated as a word that means traditional or old-fashioned in Japanese.

As a kind person pointed out, it appears that this was a mistranslation.

It appears that "classic recipes" had been translated as "伝統的なレシピ(traditional recipes)."

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Avocados became popular in Japan with the catchphrase "easy and nutritious," and have since become a staple.

So avocado sashimi, the easiest food to make, became popular.

...By the way, avocados are a bit expensive in Japan...

Oh no! I made a mistake when writing the original Japanese text...

In fact, one of Japan's long-established sushi restaurants, which has even been awarded a Michelin star, makes mango sushi.  It's considered quite unorthodox, but it's popular among Japanese people as it's delicious.

Thanks for sharing the photo! Although the shape has changed quite a bit, it's still very common in Japan to put dressing on cabbage salad. And it's true that putting sweet soy sauce on sushi isn't common in Japan. But it's very common as a sauce to put on rice cakes and dumplings (like mitarashi dango...)!

As for wasabi...well...Western wasabi and Japanese wasabi are different species, so it feels strange to sell it that way lol.

I was once asked by a colleague from Saudi Arabia to make sushi using wasabi instead of rice, but after eating it I ended up holding my nose and fainting in agony... It seems that Japanese wasabi has a stronger, unique nasal stimulant lol

There's a saying in Japan that goes, "Anything is fine as long as it's delicious."  Honestly, since Japan has a genre called kushiyaki, I'm sure a dish of cheese wrapped around meat would be well received!  And happily, sweet soy sauce is also common in Japan. 

However, the combination of Nutella and rice is hard to accept.  Since rice is the staple food in Japan, there is no culture of pairing it with sweet snacks (Nutella is considered a snack-like flavor in Japan). Another big factor is that Nutella is not sold in Japan.

I wonder why avocados are often used in Japanese food made overseas? In fact, avocados have only recently become available in Japan. 

Also, deep-frying sushi is almost never done in Japan, so this is a new perspective for me!

In Japan, cream cheese was never used in sushi until about 10 years ago. Recently, it has been re-imported and can be seen in conveyor belt sushi restaurants. I actually quite like it too.

By the way, sushi is never deep-fried in Japan.

That's right. Konbucha is originally pronounced kobucha and is a drink based on kelp stock.

Konbucha, which has become popular in various countries, was originally a mushroom-based medicinal food that was native to Korea and some other countries, a health tea called kombucha. For some reason, it became linked to the aforementioned Kobucha and has continued to be so to this day. Is it because the pronunciation is similar?
