China's food culture not only has a long history in China, but also spreads all over the world. Chinese food all over the world has changed because of "acclimatization". Like the American favorite left-handed chicken, China doesn't have this dish. Japan is not only a geographical neighbor of China, but also deeply influenced by China culture. Chinese cuisine is often heard in Japan. But Japanese "Chinese cuisine" and "China cuisine" are different. In Japanese, the two refer to different things. What the Japanese call "Chinese food" is actually an improved dish based on Chinese food, which caters to Japanese tastes and habits. One of the characteristics of Chinese food is that it is big and cheap. Usually Lamian Noodles, fried dumplings and glutinous rice balls. China also has Lamian Noodles and fried dumplings, but usually we take noodles as the staple food, while the Japanese use Lamian Noodles and fried dumplings with rice.
Rice, Lamian Noodles and fried dumplings are put in the set meal. This is incredible in the eyes of China people, but it is the standard of "Chinese food" in the eyes of Japanese people. However, this dish named after the city of China was mistaken for a special dish of Tianjin. But there is no such dish in Tianjin, only in Japan.
In Japan, you can also eat authentic Chinese food, which is called "Chinese cuisine". Chinese food is all exquisite Chinese food. Beijing Roast Duck and other famous China dishes are in the "China Food" store. Chinese food is also high-end Japanese food, which is much more expensive than Chinese food.
Although there is only one word difference between "Chinese cuisine" and "China cuisine", there is a big difference, one is economical and the other is high-end restaurant.
