Hello, I’m a third-year undergraduate student at Kyushu University from Dalian, China. My name is Yuening, the representative of the Fukuoka International Student Association. I write this article to introduce Chinese food in Japan and authentic Chinese food.
Some people travel to a new place to see the beautiful scenery, but there are still some people who travel to try local food. Tourists who come to Japan may want to have a taste of authentic Japanese cuisine. Before I came to Japan, I didn’t really understand the difference between Japanese sushi and Korean seaweed rolls. People who have not been to a place or live there for a long time may not have a good understanding of the local food culture. As a Chinese who has lived in Japan for a long time, I would like to introduce the difference between Japanese Chinese cuisine and authentic Chinese cuisine.
The difference between Japanese food and Chinese food is that Japanese food pays more attention to the appearance, including the decoration around the food. I believe many people don’t know why there is “grass” decoration in Japanese bento. And Japanese food is very light. They don’t like to put sauces on their food too much, they enjoy the taste of the food itself. However, Chinese food pays more attention to taste and smell. Most of them are food that stimulates taste buds. Chinese unique soy sauce called dark soy sauce, which used for coloring, is to create attractive colors for food.
The comparison between Japanese Chinese cuisine and authentic Chinese cuisine are as follows.
Japanese like to eat small fried dumplings, and usually with Japanese ramen and rice. The amount is not too much. Japanese will dip in soy sauce, but in the north of China, Chinese people eat boiled dumplings, or fried dumplings, northern China will eat a kind of garlic sauce, which is a mixture of garlic and soy sauce dumplings dip. There will also be people dipped in mature vinegar, white vinegar, or chili oil. Also, there is a kind of Chinese fried dumpling that are more like Gyoza. Both ends of the dumplings are not stitched together. In China, people usually eat fried dumpling with porridge and pickles.

Also, Japanese Ramen is very famous among all Japanese cuisine, but ramen originated from China. When you go to the Ramen restaurant, you can notice that the design of the Ramen bowl is a very Chinese style, and there are Chinese characters and dragon patterns on it.
Japan’s three big Ramen are Hokkaido Sapporo Ramen, Fukuoka Hakata Ramen, and Fukushima Kitakata Ramen. Japanese Ramen is probably made by machine. In Japan, people eat Ramen with takana pickles. (Hakata Ramen)

In China, there are hand-pulled noodles, but “pull” means that noodles are pulled out by hand. In the Haidilao hotpot restaurant, you will see the performance of noodle dance. In China, the more famous ramen is northwest Lanzhou Ramen, also known as Lanzhou beef noodles. The chef will stretch the dough to make noodles by hand, then cook it in the pot, add the beef soup, sprinkle with small pieces of beef, chili oil, coriander, and garlic sprouts. A bowl of delicious beef noodles has finished.

According to the records of Wei Shu, during the Three Kingdoms Period and the reign of emperor Cao Pi in the Han Dynasty, the hot pot made of copper appeared. People used the hotpot to cook various kinds of meat, such as pig, cattle, sheep, chicken, and fish, but it was not popular at that time. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, dozens of different hotpots had been formed throughout the country. In the Muromachi era, hotpot was introduced to Japan from China in 1338.
