Japanese people distinguish traditional Japanese-style dishes as "Washoku" (Wa means Japanese-style and shoku means food) as opposed to Western foods, which are generally called "Yo-shoku" (Yo means western-style). Chinese dishes are called "Chuuka." Chuuka dishes in Japan are arranged in the Japanese-style and are often cooked at home. It's similar to authentic Chinese food, but has its differences. For example, ramen noodles originated in China, but ramen became a typical Japanese food.
