Why can Japanese breakfast be "minimalist and exquisite"?

Japanese breakfast can be described in four words, that is? Extremely simple? The seemingly simple ingredients can be made very beautifully. There are two reasons for this phenomenon, one is that Japanese people pay more attention to the sense of ceremony, and the other is that there are few breakfast shops in Japan. Breakfast is very important to people, and Japanese people who pay attention to ceremonies will never lose the habit of eating breakfast.

1, most Japanese people pay attention to the sense of ceremony.

From TV or some books, we can know that the Japanese attach great importance to the sense of ceremony. They have special requirements for themselves in life and work. Moreover, there are unique customs in Japan, such as men staying at home and women staying at home. As we can see from TV, most Japanese women will not go to work after marriage. They will choose to stay at home and be good wives. Moreover, their married life respects each other. Men work hard to make money, and women are in charge of family affairs. Breakfast is essential every day, and everyone wants to prepare the most exquisite breakfast for their husbands.

2. There are basically no breakfast shops in Japan.

In the absence of special reasons, Japanese people eat breakfast at home, which is very different from China. There are many breakfast shops in China, such as steamed stuffed buns, fried dough sticks, biscuits and hot soup, which can be seen everywhere on the way to work. On the other hand, Japan is somewhat different. There are few breakfast shops, only supermarkets and the like sell cooked food. Mostly rice balls, sandwiches and the like. Eating directly at home is better than eating out. Their breakfast is reasonable, such as white rice, natto, miso soup and so on. This can be reflected in the animation, which shows how important breakfast is to the Japanese.

I remember when I was a child, I often watched crayon Shinchan and cherry maruko. Their breakfast is like this. Although it looks simple, it is beautiful. Maybe this is the difference between different nationalities. Some people are not used to eating breakfast, while others regard breakfast as a ceremony.
