Extended data:

Generally, westerners think that the only food in Japan is beef chafing dish or weird-looking sushi, but many tourists know how to taste fresh fish and sauteed shrimp when they come to Japan. The main course in Japan is fish.

"Sashimi" and "Sushi" were introduced to Japan from China in the Tang Dynasty, and were very popular in Japan after being improved by the Japanese. Raw food is also a very healthy way to eat, which can reduce the loss of nutrients in fish more than cooking. The methods of Japanese cooking fish are mostly low-temperature cooking and steaming. The selected fish are all healthy marine fish.
