The first reason: mutton processing problems. The main thing is that the cooking method of Japanese mutton is completely different from the domestic mutton cooking method. When we cook mutton in our country, we not only have to clean the mutton repeatedly and strive to minimize the mutton smell, but we are also very particular about the taste of the mutton when cooking the mutton. Basically, the mutton that is done well is more It's full of flavor and very delicious.

In fact, the main reason is that Japanese people rarely eat mutton and Arabs do not eat pork. The Arabs don't eat it because of their religious beliefs, while the Japanese don't eat it because of the land and climate. Arabs do not eat pork because the land where Arabs live is generally dry and lacks rain. Raising pigs will destroy precious water resources. In addition, their religious beliefs do not allow eating pork. In the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi and Northern Shaanxi in China, sheep are generally raised but not pigs. This principle.

Although there is mutton in Japan, it is very rare. There are basically no mutton restaurants in Tokyo and Osaka. Mutton in Japan is mainly found in Sapporo, Hokkaido and Aomori, which are large and sparsely populated cities, so it is not actually The Japanese do not eat mutton, but local land resources are limited, so they can only give priority to pasture and pasture for raising cattle.

Then there are the habits of the locals. The habits here refer to: cultural etiquette and eating habits. As we all know, Japan is a country that is very strict about etiquette and very concerned about the environment of public places, and the strong and pungent smell will affect other people. If someone in your life eats mutton and smells the fishy smell, the Japanese will also dislike it.

In terms of cooking habits, the Japanese do not like to use a lot of spices for seasoning, and pay attention to a light diet with less oil and less salt. Ingredients such as mutton with a strong smell are naturally rejected by the Japanese. Not only do the Japanese themselves not When eating mutton, you must clean up after others have eaten it before you can see others, otherwise you will be disliked by the people around you.

But not all Japanese people don’t eat mutton. In Hokkaido, there is a famous mutton dish called ジンギスカン (Genghis Khan), which is the grilled mutton that Genghis Khan brought there. . This kind of hot pot is made of sheep meat. The mutton is rich in fat, and the roasted mutton fat flows down to fry the vegetables, which tastes quite good.
