Japanese breakfast

by Gili_S

The Japanese breakfast is even more strange then the evening food. As westerners we are all used for bread, toast, butter, bacon, eggs, coffee, tea, tomato and so on, in Japan none of those included at all and you have to start your day with total new items. OK, they do have tea, but that is Japanese tea ;-)

Japanese food

by Gili_S

Japanese food is total deferent then what we are actually having in such restaurants in Europe and nothing at all as what we could ever imagine. The Japanese food can be shocking for whom ever is not using of eating such raw food. However, for someone from Finland who's used to eat the raw fish and herring we have up here in the north, that was not much of a problem and we really enjoyed all the items we been served and offered in Japanese restaurants and hotels. I indicated restaurants and food in my sub pages of the cities and locations we visited.

Any Place: How to Order (The Easy Way)

Japanese food outlet's menu usually contains picture of the food and you can order by pointing to it.However, not all menu items, may be on the menu list even though it is displayed on the shopfront.Solution: Take a picture of the food on display on the shopfront and show it when ordering the food.

Delicious Cuisine

by sinjabc

Everything I ate in Japan was affordable, delicious (oishii) and wonderfully presented. Customer service in Japanese is something people take pride in. I ate everything from Ramen noodles to bento boxes, to rice balls to traditional breakfasts. Ramen shops usually have a ticket machine you purchase ramen and drinks from first. Then you take the tickets to the ramen bar for service. Most restaurants have menus with pictures to order from. Some of the best food I ate were served at small, family-run restaurants. Train stations have a wide selection of bento boxes for breakfast or lunch on the go. There are also beautifully wrapped gift boxes to give to friends and family. A huge tradition is gift giving. One should give gifts to gracious hosts and new friends to show gratitude. Traditional Japanese breakfast usually consists of fish, rice, raw or fried egg (put the raw egg on hot rice),...

especially breakfast in traditional restaurant: try japanese food

by hanspeter_W.

A traditional Japanese breakfast consists of steamed rice, miso soup, and various side dishes. Common side dishes are broiled/grilled fish, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), onsen tamago, tsukemono pickles, seasoned nori (dried seaweed), natto, and so on. As you see in the photo, it's a Japanese etiquette to place a bowl of rice on your left and to place a bowl of miso soup on your right side at the table.

Mathuridaiko Ouchi Japan Saga Prefecture: Best Yakatori That We Found In Japan

by syrin

This was such a great place. We ate yakatori which is made from several bite-sized pieces of chicken meat, or chicken offal, skewered on a bamboo skewer and barbecued, usually over charcoal. They also have bite size pieces of meat, veggies, squid, fried fish skin and various other types.This was located in Ouchi an outskirt area of Karatsu City in the Saga prefecture so it might just be out of your way especially if you are taking the train. As for exzact location you will have to search for it based on the name in the picture.Each skewer is $2-3 dollars and it does take quite some while like 40 minutes to get your first order but then again the reason why yakatori tastes so good is them cooking it for a long time.It is considered rude in Japan to ask them to hurry up. This place can get really busy in a hurry. We went here to celebrate mothers day for my husbands mom. Four of us it only...

Yatai Ramen Men-ya: Best Ramen In Japan

by syrin

Every Japanese eats ramen and there are so many places that serve it, and each region has its own little things in them that make them diffrent from each other. We ate ramen in Ouchi which is in Karatsu City in the Saga Prefecture, Kobe, Nara, Tokyo, Mt Fuji, Hiroshima and any where we could get a chance and this for me was by far the best ramen. I got the ramen that has a soy sauce base. It costs around 6-10 dollars depending on what you add to it. You will have to look up the address as we took a bus to the atomic bomb dome then another bus took us to a train that took us to the entrance for the ferry heading to miyajima island. So its located outside one of the train stations. There was only one lady there that was making the ramen. Its rather small and sort of a dive however it was cooked fresh and cooked best. The women that was cooking and served us was very nice. You will...

Kobe Yakisoba & Grill Dining: Best Place For Kobe Beef

by syrin

We ate a 8 course meal that costed $75pp which included three types of Kobe beef. They had diffrent types of courses for one set price. The courses we got was the most expensive they had. The other four courses were skewers, salad, squid, miso soup, & dessert which was ice cream. Not a bad price for all the food they served. Seatings limited though and alot of locals go there and tourists. Very good service. Its the best meat you will eat in your life. The Kobe Beef
