Smoked (smoked) - kunsei (English spelling) smoking
Smoking refers to the process of smoking meat or fish with wood smoke to give it a distinctive flavor and increase its shelf life, and the resulting foods are called smoked products. Smoking has been practiced by humans since ancient times. It probably began when people discovered that meat hung from the ceiling of a cave and smoked by the smoke from a bonfire became more delicious and also prevented it from spoiling. Therefore, the ingredients used for smoking vary from country to country. In the West, pork, poultry and other poultry meat are the main products, while in Japan, seafood is the main product.

Japanese:
肉や魚を木材の煙(薫煙)でいぶして,特有の風味をもたせると同時に,保存性を増すことをいい,そうしてできた食品を薫製品という。薫製は人類太古から行われていた。それはたぶん,穴ぐらの天井につるしておいた獣肉がたき火の煙でいぶされ,美味になっていることを発見し,さらに腐りにくくなっていたことを発見したのが始まりだろう。したがって,薫製の原料は国によって異なっている。西洋ではブタ,トリなどの鳥獣肉が中心であり,日本では魚介類が中心である。
