Korea and Japan are the nearest countries. Two countries have had a similar history, climate for

thousands of years. But two countries have many differences each other. Therefore some people say that

Japan is the closest and the farthest country. Many differences are between Korea and Japan. At this time I

specially looked into the food culture of the two countries. The reason that I looked into the food culture

is that food is most essential to human’s life. Also there are several similarities and differences about the

two country’s food culture. Now let’s see what are the similarities and what are the differences about the

food culture.

Two countries have typical three things in common about the food. First similar thing is that

staple foods of the two countries are rice and miscellaneous grain crop. Both Korea and Japan are

agricultural countries. Therefore Korean and Japanese people mainly eat rice, and the people often eat

many kinds of miscellaneous grain crop ,too. Typical main dish are vary. For example, there are boiled

rice, barley-mixed rice, five-grain rice, water gruel, red bean soup, cooked rice and red beans, and so on.

Second similar thing is that many kinds of food are very similar because of the similar climate. For

example, Korean and Japan people enjoy beef, pork, fish, chicken. And basic seasonings are soy sauce,

soybean paste, vinegar. Finally, Korea and Japan’s mind set are similar. There is a common saying in

two countries. The saying is “Man doesn’t have to enter the kitchen”. It means that cooking is a just

woman’s duty. That is, if man has interest in cooking, most people say that he is very effeminate. But now,

the saying is regarded as a dead language. Nowadays, whether someone is a man or not, more and more

people have a interest in cooking.
