ʻO Iapana kahi home o nā meaʻai he nui e like me ka tofu a me ka miso i kaulana a puni ka honua, ʻoi aku ma waena o nā mea ʻai meaʻai. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, mamao loa ʻo Iapana mai kahi ʻāina aloha ʻai meaʻai.
ʻOiai ʻo Iapana kahi mea kanu i ka wā ma mua, ua hoʻololi loa ka Westernization i kāna ʻano meaʻai. I kēia manawa aia ka ʻiʻo ma nā wahi a pau, a ʻike ka poʻe he nui ka maikaʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻiʻo, ka iʻa, a me ka waiu no ko lākou olakino. No laila, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai ma Iapana. I loko o kahi hui kahi i manaʻo nui ʻia ai ka ʻai ʻana i nā huahana holoholona, maʻa mau ka poʻe i ke ʻano o ka ʻai meaʻai.
Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i nā ʻano huahana soy ma nā hale kūʻai. E hauʻoli ka poʻe aloha tofu i ka ʻike ʻana i nā papa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā ʻano tofu a me nā huahana soy kuʻuna kūʻokoʻa i fermented mai ka soybeans me kahi ʻala ikaika a me ka ʻono. Loaʻa ka bean curd mai ka huʻa o ka waiū soy, i hana ʻia i ka wā i wela ai.
Hāʻawi pinepine ʻia kēia mau meaʻai me ka iʻa a me ka limu ma nā hale ʻaina a kapa ʻia ʻo "dashi". Akā ke kuke ʻoe iā ʻoe iho, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana me ka ʻole o ka iʻa. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻono kēia mau meaʻai ke hoʻohana wale ʻoe i ka paʻakai a i ʻole soy sauce i mea hoʻonani. Inā ʻoe e noho ana ma kahi Ryokan (ka Japanese tatami a me ka hōkele futon) a i ʻole kahi hale kuke, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo e hana i nā noodles Iapana me ka ʻole dashi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomoʻi me ka soy sauce.
No ka mea he nui nā kīʻaha Iapana i hana ʻia me ka dashi a i ʻole kekahi ʻano mea holoholona (ʻoi aku ka iʻa a me ka iʻa iʻa), paʻakikī maoli ka loaʻa ʻana o nā meaʻai meaʻai ma nā hale ʻaina Iapana. Eia nō naʻe lākou. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kauoha i kīʻaha laiki, ka meaʻai o kēlā me kēia lā a nā Kepani. No nā kīʻaha ʻaoʻao, e hoʻāʻo i nā pickles mea kanu, tofu palai, ka ʻuala kuʻi, ka tempura meaʻai, nā noodles palai, a i ʻole ʻokonomiyaki me ka ʻiʻo ʻole a me ka ʻai. Loaʻa i ka Okonomiyaki nā hua, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke noi iā lākou e kuke me ka ʻole o nā hua. Eia kekahi, pono e haʻalele i ka ʻuala, ka mea maʻamau i nā huahana holoholona.
He mea paʻakikī paha ka wehewehe ʻana i ka poʻe Kepani i ka mea āu e makemake ʻole ai ma kāu pā, no ka mea, ʻaʻole hoʻohana nui ʻia ka manaʻo o ka "vegetarianism" e lākou a hiki ke huikau. No ka laʻana, inā ʻōlelo ʻoe ʻaʻole makemake ʻoe i ka ʻiʻo, hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka pipi a i ʻole ka moa moa me ka ʻole o ka ʻiʻo maoli. Inā makemake ʻoe e pale i nā mea ʻai a iʻa paha, pono ʻoe e makaʻala loa, e makaʻala loa i ka dashi.
ʻO ka sopa miso i lawelawe ʻia ma nā hale ʻaina Iapana ʻaneʻane loaʻa nā iʻa a me nā meaʻai iʻa. Pela no na noodles Iapana e like me ka udon a me ka soba. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole hiki ke noi i nā hale ʻaina e kuke i kēia mau kīʻaha Iapana me ka ʻole dashi, no ka mea, ʻo dashi ke kumu o ka meaʻai Iapana. No ka mea, ua hoʻomākaukau mua ʻia nā kīʻaha no nā noodles a me kekahi mau kīʻaha ʻē aʻe (no ka mea, e lōʻihi ana ka manawa, i kekahi manawa he mau lā), paʻakikī ke hoʻokō i ka kuke ʻana. Pono ʻoe e hoʻomaopopo i ka nui o nā kīʻaha i hāʻawi ʻia i loko o nā hale ʻaina Iapana i loaʻa nā mea kanu holoholona, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole maopopo.
Inā makemake ʻoe e pale i ka dashi, hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i kahi hale ʻaina Iapana-Italia kahi e loaʻa ai ka pizza a me ka pasta. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi i nā koho meaʻai meaʻai a hana paha i ka pizza me ka ʻole o ka paʻakai ʻoiai, ʻaʻole like me nā hale ʻaina Iapana, e kuke mau lākou ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kauoha.
Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ka ʻai ʻai ʻai i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka iʻa a me ka iʻa, hiki i nā hale ʻaina sushi ke koho pū kekahi. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ke noi i kahi sushi kūikawā, no ka mea, pono e hana ʻia ka sushi i mua o ka mea kūʻai.
Eia kekahi, he wahi ʻē aʻe e hele ai i ka hale ʻaina. ʻOkoʻa iki nā hale kuke ma Iapana mai nā mea a mākou i maʻa ai ma US a i ʻEulopa. Hāʻawi lākou i nā ʻano berena like ʻole me nā meaʻai like ʻole, me ka jam, ka hua, ke kulina, ka pī, nā halo, ka curries, nā noodles, ke kī, ke kope a me nā mea hou aku. Loaʻa iā lākou ka berena me ka ʻole o nā hua, ka pata a me ka waiū, kahi kūpono no nā vegans.
ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa i kahi hale ʻaina meaʻai a i ʻole macrobiotic. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoluʻolu nui ma ʻaneʻi, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, maopopo ka poʻe ma ʻaneʻi i nā mea ʻai meaʻai a ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hele i ka moana e pale i nā huahana holoholona i kāu ʻai. Ua huhū nui ʻia nā macrobiotics i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine ʻōpio e hopohopo nei i ko lākou kiʻi a me ke olakino. Ke piʻi mālie nei ka nui o nā hale ʻaina meaʻai.
E kōkua ka pūnaewele ma lalo iā ʻoe e ʻimi i kahi hale ʻaina meaʻai.
Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka US a i ʻole ʻEulopa, ʻaʻole i ʻike nui ʻia ka manaʻo o ka vegetarianism ma Iapana, no laila hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia he ʻāina paʻakikī ʻo Iapana no ka poʻe ʻai meaʻai e noho ai a hele paha. Ua like ia me ka US e like me 30 makahiki aku nei.
Hiki ke hoʻomau i ka lilo ʻana i mea ʻai ʻai ʻoiai ʻoe e hele ana i Iapana, akā e akahele loa. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e lawe i nā ʻeke kaumaha i piha i nā huahana mai kou ʻāina, e hoʻāʻo i nā huahana kūloko - meaʻai meaʻai, hou a olakino. Mai makaʻu ʻoe e hele i Iapana no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻo ia ka ʻāina aloha ʻai meaʻai.
ʻAʻole ʻike nui ka poʻe Kepanī e pili ana i ka vegetarianism. Maikaʻi ka hoʻopaʻanaʻau ʻana i ʻelua mau huaʻōlelo ma ka ʻōlelo Kepanī ʻo ia ka manaʻo "ʻAʻole au e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo a me ka iʻa" a me "ʻAʻole au e ʻai i ka dashi", e kōkua kēia iā ʻoe e ʻai me ka ʻono a me ka mālie. Manaʻo wau e hauʻoli ʻoe i ka meaʻai Kepanī a hauʻoli i kāu huakaʻi i Iapana.
