My Personal Food Motto Meets Japan
Category: food

Japanese Paul's food is not normally spicy - my opinion is that the emphasis on fresh ingredients has traditionally eliminated spices since the flavor of rancid, sour or otherwise distasteful food has simply not been there to disguise.

I would contest that opinion. In some cultures, that are not skilled at employing spices in a harmonious fashion or whose native vegetation did not include spices to begin with, introduction of strong foreign spices does not always lead to delicious meals. A particularly illustrative example in this category is the cuisine of the British Isles.

However, further south, in the continents of South East Asia (barring the country of Japan), where almost the entire range of spices of the world originated and are actively grown, food without proper use of spices is considered an insult to the palette. Japan is not traditionally a country with the fertile soils and the environmental conditions that are needed to grow the most exquisite spices - so their minimal reliance on the mild spices that come from the depths of the sea is understandable.
