Dish of Christmas in Japan

Propagation by Francisco XavierSaint of the yes society began in 1549 in Japan.

Christianity is prohibited in the Edo era, and Japan closes the country.

Religious liberty was stipulated in Great Japanese Imperial Constitution promulgated in 1889 in the Meiji era.

However, it is after 1945 that freedom of religion was completely guaranteed.

Still Christianity does not spread out in Japan, and the number of the believers is said to be less than 1% of population of Japan as of 2014.

As for having colonized, a custom to celebrate Christmas in a general family seems to be of marriageable age 1950.

Christmas swells as an event with Christmas Eve of December 24 not a religious ceremony in Japan on December 25.



Children look forward to a present from Santa Claus, and a lover and the couple give it a present each other.

A big Christmas tree is displayed in the large commercial facilities and the salesclerk of the shop puts on clothes and a hat of Santa Claus and enlivens an event.

A dish of Christmas in such Japan is chicken and a cake.

I seem to eat the barbecue of the turkey in the United States on Christmas, but the turkey does not eat very much in Japan.

I seemed to substitute the chicken with the bone for the turkey.

When it becomes Christmas, the chicken with the bone is sold in the supermarket.

I cook the chicken with the bone and cook a roast chicken.

The person hating making it purchases it in cooked roast chicken and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

That my family made a roast chicken with the chicken with the bone.



The cake fully applies fresh cream around soft and fluffy sponge cake, and the cake which I displayed a strawberry is basic.

This Christmas cake is like what's called which patisserie spread FUJIYA from about 1922.

I eat a roast chicken and a cake and get a present, and it is Japanese style to enjoy an event of Christmas.
