Korean... Google it. They have been making it in ceramic pots buried in the ground for a looooooooooooooooooong time.

Answer 9

well to be specifics Kimchi food is originally originated in KOREA & because it was very famous there, a JAPANESE chef manager decided to bring the famous food in KOREA to JAPAN but modify it a bit to make it a JAPANESE STYLE & the rest is history... :O

p/s : i like to eat ramen a lot... :)

Answer 10

Fremented cabbage or vegetable dishes can be found in almost any country.  It is the recipe that is unique to a country.

Kimchi is a Korean dish, and was most certainly introduced into Japanese cuisine.
