chosen.content: Japanese food does not necessarily "stink," but it has a unique odor. This is due to certain traditional flavor enhancers, such as dried seaweed, fish paste, and malt extract, which are often used in Japanese cuisine to add complexity of flavor. Some people have stronger senses of smell than others, so these flavorings may smell particularly strong to certain individuals. In addition, the fermentation process often used to create certain foods can also add a distinct odor. Finally, cooking methods such as steaming and roasting often result in an earthy, slightly smoky aroma that some people may find pleasant but others may find to be too intense. Therefore, some people may find the flavors in Japanese food to be overpowering due to these odors.

rejected.content: Japanese food does not necessarily "stink", however certain food items such as durian, can sometimes have a strong smell or odor. Additionally, some traditional Japanese food have strong-flavored ingredients such as soy sauce, vinegar, and fermented products, which some people may not be used to or find unpleasant. Additionally, the Japanese food preparation method can often emphasize the natural flavors of the ingredients and create a "less processed" flavor that some may not be used to. Additionally, different cultures have different views of food which can be part of the reason why some may find certain food items unappealing.
