Ejemplo: My favourite food is Japanese cuisine, especially sashimi, because I enjoy its fresh taste and delicate textures. For example, I often have sashimi with rice and soy sauce, which feels light and satisfying. I usually eat it several times a week rather than every day.

× I'm not that picky either and I'm open to wide variety of cuisine, but I like Japanese food the most.
✓ I'm not that picky either and I'm open to a wide variety of cuisine, but I like Japanese food the most.
The phrase 'wide variety' needs the indefinite article 'a' before it. Use 'a wide variety of' to indicate one of many kinds. Suggestion: add 'a' before 'wide variety.'
× Especially I like sashimi the most.
✓ Especially, I like sashimi the most.
This sentence needs a comma after the adverb 'Especially' when it begins a sentence. Also 'especially' as a sentence starter should be followed by a comma for clarity. Suggestion: add a comma and consider combining with previous sentence for smoother flow: 'I like Japanese food the most, especially sashimi.'
× I eat sashimi almost everyday.
✓ I eat sashimi almost every day.
The phrase 'every day' (two words) is the correct adverbial expression meaning 'each day.' 'Everyday' (one word) is an adjective meaning 'ordinary.' Use 'every day' here. Suggestion: write 'every day.'
× I think sashimi goes very well.
✓ I think sashimi goes very well with soy sauce and wasabi.
The original sentence is incomplete in meaning; grammatically it's not incorrect but sounds vague. To be more natural, specify what sashimi goes well with. Suggestion: add the object of the comparison, e.g., 'with soy sauce and wasabi.'
× When I was young I liked oily food like fried chicken and carrot cakes or something like that.
✓ When I was young, I liked oily foods like fried chicken and carrot cake or things like that.
Add a comma after introductory clause 'When I was young.' Use 'oily foods' plural to generalize types of food. 'Carrot cake' is usually uncountable or singular as a type; 'carrot cakes' is possible but 'carrot cake' fits better. 'or something like that' is better as 'or things like that.' Suggestion: add comma and adjust plurals for natural phrasing.
× But these days I like more lighter food like sashimi.
✓ But these days I prefer lighter food like sashimi.
'More lighter' is incorrect because 'lighter' already is the comparative form; do not use 'more' with comparatives. Also 'prefer' is more natural when contrasting past and present preferences. Suggestion: use 'prefer lighter food' or 'like lighter food.'
× And I like Japanese food these days so much.
✓ And I like Japanese food so much these days.
Word order: 'so much these days' is more natural than 'these days so much.' Place time expressions at the end. Suggestion: move 'these days' after 'so much.'
× In Japan there are Four Seasons, and each season serves us with different types of vegetables, fruits and fish.
✓ In Japan there are four seasons, and each season provides us with different types of vegetables, fruits, and fish.
Do not capitalize 'Four Seasons' here; use lowercase 'four seasons.' 'Serves us with' is awkward; 'provides us with' or 'offers' is more natural. Also add Oxford comma for clarity. Suggestion: use 'four seasons' and 'provides us with.'
× Now it's winter and we can enjoy a variety of mandarins.
✓ Now it's winter, and we can enjoy a variety of mandarins.
Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses. Suggestion: insert comma after 'winter.'
× Citrons, it's in.
✓ Citrons are in season.
The original fragment 'Citrons, it's in.' is ungrammatical. Use a complete sentence: 'Citrons are in season.' 'Are' agrees with plural 'citrons.' Suggestion: say 'Citrons are in season' or 'Citrons are in.'
× Yes, it has been changed when I was a child.
✓ Yes, it changed since I was a child.
'Has been changed when I was a child' mixes present perfect passive with a past time expression 'when I was a child,' which is incorrect. Use simple past 'changed' with past time, or present perfect without a specific past time. Suggestion: 'Yes, it changed since I was a child' or 'Yes, it has changed since I was a child.'
× Uh. I liked oily high fat food like fried chicken and fried potato, but now I really like Japanese food.
✓ I liked oily, high-fat foods like fried chicken and fried potatoes, but now I really like Japanese food.
Use commas between adjectives 'oily, high-fat.' Use hyphen 'high-fat' as a compound adjective. Make 'foods' plural when referring to types, and 'fried potatoes' plural. 'Uh.' filler can be omitted. Suggestion: write 'oily, high-fat foods like fried chicken and fried potatoes.'
