Cuisines in East Asia
Chinese
Chinese cooking is not one cuisine.
Japanese
Japanese cooking emphasises seasonality (旬), umami from dashi and fermentation, and restraint in seasoning.
Korean
Korean cooking is defined by fermentation (kimchi, gochujang, doenjang), grilling at the table, and a spread of many small dishes (banchan) rather than one centrepiece.
