• Believe that creating food are according to the season. They use the ingredients that are ripe and prime in the current season in which they are cooking.
• For instance, they highlight bamboo shoots in the spring and chestnuts in the fall because those are the items that are most apparent in those specific seasons.
• They also like the season they are cooking in to reflect in the plating of their dishes. The use of inedible tree branches or leaves are also used to present diners with a symbol of the season.
• Presentation in this regard is also important to the Japanese as Japanese chefs believe that a person should love what they see
before they actually consume
• Due to the location of the country of Japan and the fact that it is surrounded by water, the protein that is used in a majority of dishes is fish.

• Traditional Japanese dishes will have specific flavoring made up of a combination of Japanese spices and are typically shown in foods that have been grilled or braised.
• Seasonality and plating and the heavy use of fish in Japanese cooking importance to the fact that Sushi is such a key player in Japanese cuisine can be easily comprehended.
