Please correct my essay! 1 Comparison of Japanese Cuisine and Chinese Cuisine Recently, our society has been a global society and lots of foreign people visit Japan. Especially, more and more Chinese people come here because of a low exchange rate of yen, and there are plenty of opportunities to eat Japanese and Chinese food. So today, I am going to compare Japanese cuisine and Chinese one. As for health aspect, Japanese cuisine tend to healthier than Chinese one because Chinese tend to use oil to cook something. One of the reasons is that Japan is an island country, but china is a continental country. It means Japanese have a great deal of water and the water was soft water, therefore, Japanese used water to make something frequently. On the contrary, Chinese water was hard water, so it wasn’t suit to cook something. That’s way Chinese people use more oil than Japanese. In addition, there is another reason of using oil. Japanese traditional cuisine was vegetarian cuisine, so called Syojin-Ryori, and Japanese weather is suitable for making vegetable, so there is plenty of fresh vegetable. However, China is much larger than japan and some Chinese areas are interior, and some are unfit to make crops, so it would be difficult to eat fresh food and there was a danger of a food poisoning. Hence, Chinese people use much oil. Regarding the appearance, Chinese people use big dishes for the group and Japanese use small and individual dishes. It is said there is a reason why Chinese people use big dishes. Since a long time ago, China had a lot of wars, so it was difficult to prove who is a fellow and who is an enemy. Thus, people eat foods from same big dishes and they conformed each other that they aren’t enemy. Moreover people used same big dishes in order not to be poisoned be someone. On the contrary, Japan has had a strong governing institution, so people didn’t have to care about fellow and enemy. Therefore, Japanese people didn’t have to use big dishes.
