Most of Japan (60%) is hilly and mountainous so they have specific things growing in specific areas. Like tea farms, stock farms, crop farms, flower farms, etc. They use terracing to grow things on the hills and mountains. Those terraced fields are sometimes for crops and fruit. They also sometimes use greenhouses on the hills. They eat sushi and tempura. They also eat wild plants, and fish. They also eat other kinds of meat, vegetables, and other seafood. Because it is an archipelago, they eat lots of seafood. Rice is very big, too. They eat seaweed and raw eggs and fish which is not normal in the US.
