[@ariffkhalid9473]

[@ricefieldjim258]

Japanese word for chili: togarashi 唐辛子 (spices from tang dynasty) is proof enough that japan’s access to spice was limited back in the days. So did the northern europeans, hence why there isnt too big of a spice culture.

Japan only started having spices to the general public during the meiji era, i.e. late 1800s early 1900s. Yeah, they don't have a long history with spicy food is the reason.

[@metalicgod]

That's why here in México we don't use chili or super spicy stuff in the food just for the sake of it to be a "spicy food", where you can't even enjoy the food because of how hot it is (and people think it is just because of all those videos of people eating chili peppers or hot sauces, which is always a hell of a pain for them, and there is a bad image for Mexican food, all thinking that it is spicy and not enjoyed, but it is simply because they are not used to them, compared to us); the reality is that we use the right amount of spicy stuff in the food so you can actually enjoy it both, the food and (in the majority of cases) the chili. However, our grandmother's sauces are another story, their chili sauce in the molcajete will literally suffocate anyone that is not used to it to a living hell.

Yeah thats exactly how indian food works too ! We don't make any dish to be just "hot" , its all about the balance of various spices, chillies included, and how they interact with each other.

[@admin.slayerenryu]

Or the fact that half of our cuisine uses spicy ingredients, from peppers, chiles, sauces, mixes, soups, etc; or that we put peppers in things that should had them (in some bakerys they give you a small bread filled cream cheese, ham and either a jalapeño pepper or something similar). Also there's this pepper (that's mostly seen in the Northern part of the country) called "chiltepín" that's a round tiny (it's smaller than a freaking marble) pepper but if you put one or two into your food, it'll taste like hell.

Fun piece of trivia: Based on my understanding of the history, chili-type heat (i.e. capsaicin-based heat) was initially so alien to the traditional, old-world Japanese palate that it only really first gained popularity as a key component of a more complex spice blend called “shichimi togarashi,” which roughly means “seven kinds of spices.” (Shichimi togarashi remains extremely popular to this day!) Now here’s the good part: Although the word “togarashi” on its own is the normal Japanese word for chili peppers, it was only _after_ the popularization of shichimi togarashi that there was any real demand for the chili flakes alone. So, in a classic example of Japanese people being very fond of puns, chili flakes on their own became known by the joke name “ichimi togarashi,” which means... “one kind of spice.” This is so silly and I love it so much.

You can find spicy food in Japan if you go into a smaller indian, Korean or Chinese place that are run/owned by natives. You just need to make clear when ordering that you want actual spicy and not japanese spicy. But yeah in general Japan is not that into spicy. Also i totally agree with coco lvl 10, i had it once just to try it. They really just add spice until you can actually feel the grains in the sauce while eating. Sure it's spicy but it's not a very satisfying kind of spicy if that makes sense as the dish itself was never meant to be that hot.
