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.

My reserch about Break fast

I studied about New Zealand breakfast. Most kiwis eat cereals. There are a lot of kinds of cereals at a grocery store. A big one has about 90 kinds of cereals. The popular kinds of cereals are The Crispy Golden cereal which is not sweet but has a strong apple and cinnamon taste and Muesli cereal which has a lot of dry fruits. Including apricot, raisins, pineapple and so on. It is low calorie.

When they eat cereal, they use a spoon and put milk on it. In NZ, there were many kinds of milk. My host family uses 2 kinds of milk. One is lite. The other is trim. The difference of these is on the fat contents. Trim milk was a smaller percentage of fat than lite milk. The lite milk has 1.5 g and the trim milk has 0.1 g.

Oatmeal is type of soft thick white food made by boiling OATS in milk or water. When they eat oatmeal, they put sugar and milk onto it.
Sometimes, they eat yoghurt and fruits with cereal. They also eat bread with jam or vegemite. Taste of Vegemite is salty miso. At breakfast, they also eat pancakes too. They use eggs, flour, and milk to make them. They don’t put preservatives like bicarbonate in so they make thin hot cake. It is like French crepe. When they eat it, they put jam or cream, sugar, syrup on it.

Finally, most kiwi have never eaten rice in the morning. However, there are many kinds of rice in New Zealand. One kind is long grain rice, the length of it is about 6 mm long. The way to boil is to put in the proportion of 1 to 1.5. You turn down the heat and wait 5 minutes. An other is medium grain rice. The length of it is 5 mm long. It is good rice to make paella.
