Food

High-class Japanese food is a work of art created by chefs who have undergone many years of training. Chefs pick out fresh, seasonal ingredients and use their refined skill to produce complete dishes. In addition to Japanese restaurants, there are many dining spots where people can enjoy food from countries all around the world. Japan also offers you a large variety of relatively inexpensive but tasty dishes that ordinary people eat on a daily basis. One particular dish that is especially popular is ramen (Chinese noodles in soup). There are some Japanese people who regularly go to ramen shops in their spare time.

Sushi

Japanese people have loved sushi universally. You can eat sushi not only at high-class sushi restaurants but also at inexpensive kaiten-zushi (conveyer-belt sushi bars). There are distinctive, regional sushi varieties native to each part of this country.
