Japanese breakfast

In Kumamoto, we eat a traditional breakfast everyday. Japanese traditional breakfasts foods are rice, miso soup, rolled eggs and grilled fish. When we eat rice, we also eat pickles with it. Japanese have also eaten miso soup since the Muromachi period. At that time, miso soup was country food so farmers ate it, and it became popular. Now, miso soup is necessary for a Japanese traditional breakfast. We can cook it easily and we can make a lot at once. When the warring States Period, Japanese ate miso soup.

Rolled egg is also a famous dish. Each home has their own taste. When we make it, we use a frying pan which is shaped in a rectangle. Most people put salt or pepper into it. However, sushi or tea-ceremony egg rolls are used sugar. Also, in the Kanto area, they eat sweet rolled eggs. In the Kansai area, they eat dashimaki which uses soup stock. There are also spinach, carrot, eel rolled eggs and so on.

We also eat rice balls shaped as a triangle. We put salt on them and put kelp or pickled ume into them. Pickled ume is one of the Japanese traditional foods. The effect of pickled ume are 3 things. 1 Acidity of citric acid helps secrete the saliva and help assimilation. When we eat food, we use chopsticks but when we eat rice balls, we use our hand. 2 It helps recover fatigue, and it is medicinal food so when we have ill, we eat okayu with it. 3 It has antibacterial so we put it onigiri or lunch box with rice.
