"The plan of the day lies in the morning", this sentence is vividly reflected in the daily life of Chinese. Imagine the morning sun shining on hot soy milk fritters, steamed buns and porridge, which is the source of motivation for many Chinese to start their day. But if you're in Japan, a country with a very different breakfast culture, how do you deal with the challenges of breakfast?
For Chinese who are new to Japan, breakfast can be a headache. You can of course opt for a breakfast buffet at an upscale hotel, but that's not realistic, especially for those who have lived or worked in Japan for a long time.
Convenience stores have become the choice of many Japanese office workers, and the bread, coffee and fast food inside are simple but at least filling. But for those of us who are used to Chinese breakfast, these foods may seem a bit boring.
However, what is even more unbelievable to Chinese is that some Japanese people even skip breakfast and go to exercise. In their opinion, it may be a way to save time, but for us, skipping breakfast and going to work is simply unthinkable. We didn't eat breakfast well, and the whole day was uncomfortable.
Of course, there are also housewives in Japan who prepare breakfast with great care. But compared to Chinese breakfast, the traditional Japanese breakfast is more complex and usually includes rice, two dishes and one soup.
This may not be very practical for busy office workers. As a result, more and more Japanese people are choosing Western-style breakfasts such as milk, eggs, and bread. These breakfasts are easy to make, meet the nutritional needs and meet the rhythm of modern life.
So, as Chinese living or traveling in Japan, how do we deal with the breakfast problem? In fact, in addition to trying the local breakfast, we can also prepare some simple Chinese breakfast ingredients by ourselves. For example, bring a packet of instant noodles or some quick porridge so that you can enjoy the familiar taste on a busy morning.
Of course, we also need to understand and respect local food habits. After all, every country has its own food culture, and it's these different cultures that make our world a lot more colorful. So, try the Japanese breakfast and you may find it delicious and charming.
No matter where we are, though, we can't ignore the importance of breakfast. Breakfast not only provides us with energy for the day, but is also the key to staying healthy. So, no matter how busy you are, you can't ignore breakfast.
It is not easy to find a satisfying breakfast in a foreign country, but as long as we look for and try it with our hearts, we will always find the delicious food that suits us. In the process, we will also have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the food culture of different countries, which will make our lives more colorful.
