[Sca-cooks] Period Japanese cooking?

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Also one of the sites I browsed claimed that Japanese food really hasn't  
changed that much over the centuries, supposedly because they're very 
attached  to their culture. It IS true that it's an island culture that remained 
closed to  outside influence for an unusually long time, so that is credible. 
And to the  degree that they've adopted Western foods, it seems they've 
mainly taken them as  is, rather than integrating them in the way, say, the 
French integrated verjuice  and a certain approach to spices from the East.

I'm not  sure there is enough material on historic Japanese cooking that 
you will get  to pick and choose a particular  century.
