Japan as A Powerhouse of Fermented Foods

Japanese people have long consumed many fermented foods. Many essential seasonings and foods in daily meals, such as miso, soy sauce, and natto, are fermented products. Recently, fermented foods have gained global attention as products that improve gut health, and their market size grows yearly. In Japan, books about fermented foods have become increasingly common in bookstores.

A characteristic of Japanese fermented foods is their regional variations in preparation and taste. For example, miso comes in various types depending on the region, such as rice miso, barley miso, and soybean miso. Fermented foods suited to local climates and cultures are still produced, like Okinawan awamori, Kyoto's shibazuke pickles, and Nagano's sunki.

Recently, "fermented food fairs" have become common in department stores and specialty shops. These events gather unique fermented foods from across the country, conveying their traditional appeal through tastings and demonstrations. Making fermented foods has also become popular, with more people learning to make koji and pickle vegetables.

Thus, fermented foods are being rediscovered as an important part of Japanese food culture. Along with growing health consciousness, their value is being recognized anew and showing new developments.
