Tempura is food deep-fried in vegetable oil, after being coated with a mixture of egg, water and wheat flour. Among the ingredients used are prawns, fish in season and vegetables.

Sukiyaki is prepared right at the table by cooking thinly sliced beef together with various vegetables, tofu and vermicelli.

There are many little shops where you can eat. You can recognize them by the red lantarn outside. Asahi beer

Most Japanese restaurants display their food and dish samples at their shop window. So patrons can make their choice before entering the restaurant.

Ramen is a noodle dish. Normally noodles served in a miso based soup with bits of meat to flavour it.
Chicken fried rice is my favorite.So is the soups. Chicken and soups!
In the major cities, you can find foods from around the world. Be aware that they may have a Japanese twist. Like pizza with potatoes, mayo, and squid or McDonalds with the egg burgers.
...is in the front of this beutiful castle gates in China town in Yokohama.


Beer such as Kirin, Sapporo, and Asashi is the most popular drink in Japan. I tried to Asashi beer in Tokyo. I quite like it
