Fusion cuisine, フュージョン料理

Some people may think of "Fusion Cuisine" as new or trendy, but some others may think it's confused or rubbish cuisine.

Is ramen noodles a Japanese cuisine? Well, It is not considered as a "Traditional" Japanese....but it is known as one of the most popular Japanese food in the world.
I think it is a great example of Chinese-Japanese fusion. It originally came from China and mixed with Japanese cuisine such as the stock base from soy sauce, miso, pork born, fish and so on... 

What about tempura? It is originally from Portugal, introduced in the mid-sixteenth century to Japan. But it is worldly recognised as "Traditional" Japanese food.

So, "Fusion Cuisine" appeared to be odd and controversial to some people from time to time, but cuisine should be evolved with each cultures as times change and we should welcome those new ideas.
It may become one of foods which represents it's culture and country, like ramen noodles or tempura.
However, we should still respect the traditions and understand the meanings of the cooking methods which passed on to us through generations after generations.
