Japanese Cuisine

The traditional food of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes, each in its own utensil, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Fish is common in the traditional cuisine. It is often grilled, but it may also be served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Seafood and vegetables are also deep-fried in a light batter as tempura. Tempura is a japanese dish that is either seafood or vegetables that is deep friend in a light batter.

Udon Noodles

Apart from rice, Japanese cuisine include noodles, such as soba and udon(see picture above). Japan has many simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga. Foreign food, in particular Chinese food is the form of noodles in soup called ramen and friend dumplings, gyoza, and western food such as curry and hamburger steaks are commonly found in Japan. Historically, the Japanese shunned meat, but with the modernization of Japan in the 1860's, meat-based dishes such as tonkatsu became common.

Tonkatsu

Japanese cuisine, particularly sushi, has now become popular throughout the world. But for me personally, having Japanese food just wouldn't be the same as having it in Japan. I've said this before and I'll say it again. I want to go to Japan! I want to experience everything there culture has to offer! Hope you enjoyed the blog and hope you have a good day!
