What does jam mean in Japan?

Jam, which means "ジャム" in Japan, is a very popular breakfast food. Japanese people like to spread jam on toast or add it to milk, yogurt, oatmeal and other foods. It tastes very delicious. Jam is also a common food in supermarket or hotel buffet breakfast.

There are many kinds of jam in Japan. In addition to the common jam such as strawberry, blueberry and raspberry, there are also unique flavors such as cherry, peach and grapefruit. There are also some rare jams, such as purple potato and mulberry. These jams are not only different from the taste in the domestic market, but also have unique taste and texture, which are deeply loved by Japanese and foreign tourists.

Japanese jam making technology is also very sophisticated. Japanese jam manufacturers often choose fresh and high-quality fruits in the production process, and then process them at a specific time and temperature. During the processing, the jam will avoid boiling at high temperature to keep the fresh taste and nutrients of the fruit. Therefore, Japanese jam is not only delicious, but also nutritious, and it is a food worth trying.
