Unclear history of the prohibition of meat/fish
In the "Early history" section, the second paragraph says that the consumption of most meat was outlawed due to Buddhist beliefs. Similarly, the first paragraph of the "Heian period" section says that fishing was outlawed. However, three paragraphs later, the paragraph begins with "The dishes consumed after the 9th century included grilled fish and meat". There is no explanation between these paragraphs of meat and fish becoming acceptable to eat again, so this is confusing. All these paragraphs cite the same source (a book I don't have access to), so I'm unable to find the cause of this inconsistency. AlfredArtifact (talk) 15:33, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Eating ass as part of the Japanese diet
"Jesuit Catholic Portuguese missionary João Rodrigues said that Japanese refused to eat lard, hens, duck, pigs, cow, horse, and ass, and refused to eat their own livestock and only sometimes hunted wild animals during feasts, in contrast to the Chinese who ate geese, hens, domestic duck, bacon, lard, pork, cow, horse and ass" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:5230:DF00:F828:B17E:3E27:F8CE (talk) 11:00, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
