Sushi

While sushi can be found in almost every corner of the globe today, it’s the range of seafood and
sheer quality that puts sushi in Japan head and shoulders above the pack. Put simply: There is
sushi in the rest of the world — and then there is sushi in Japan.

Ramen

There are different regional styles of ramen as well as countless sub-variations within those, but
the most popular and widely known ramen type is tonkotsu ramen.

It is a Japanese noodle dish. Although each region of Japan has its own recipe for ramen, the basic
preparation consists of different types of Japanese noodles served in a broth prepared exclusively
based on pork or chicken bone and different vegetables, their flavors varied between miso paste,
soy sauce

Yakitori

the yakitori: Skewered chicken meat typically brushed with a sweet soy and mirin glaze,
barbecued over charcoal. Appreciation of offal is also a part of Japanese food culture. So while
chicken meat is a yakitori staple, you'll find chicken hearts, liver, skin, gizzards and even soft
cartilage also making appearances on proper yakitori restaurant menus.
