The beginning of Japanese rice culture

 After all, "rice" is indispensable as a typical ingredient of Japanese food.

  Since rice has been a staple food since the Jomon period, it is no exaggeration to say that Japanese food began in the Jomon period. However, the origin of rice cultivation comes from the continent.

  It is said that rice cultivation began in the latter half of the Jomon period and began to cultivate rice fields for rice production in the Yayoi period.

  Our food during the Jomon period was mainly the meat of hunted animals. People created small societies, went hunting, and lived by hunting animals.

  Since the introduction of rice from the continent in the latter part of the Jomon period, people's lives have begun to change drastically.

  In the early Yayoi period, rice cultivation became popular and rice fields began to be cultivated in various lands.

  People have begun to create a big society to flourish rice cultivation, unlike in the past.

  People created a big society to flourish rice cultivation and started living in a certain land.

  This is the beginning of the change from our hunting culture to rice culture.
