Facts About Japan And Its Food

A very widespread belief is that Food in Tokyo has to be expensive.

Traditional Japanese Foods like Miso Soup and tofu which are made from Soybeans, accompany lunch, dinner and Breakfast in Tokyo.

The Japanese Food culture is very different from the western 'Meat and potatoes' plate.Traditional Japanese meals include many small dishes, carefully planned to satisfy the taste and the eye. Typical Japanese meal portions are much smaller than in the west.

A small bowl of Rice is served with each meal.

Miso soup is the last thing you have at the end of every meal.

And now comes the funny part…


Japanese Desserts

Foods In Japan - Japanese Desserts (c) Kanko at Flickr Sugary sweet desserts are not common in Japan. Desserts are not a part of Traditional Japanese food.

Japanese Desserts, Japanese cake recipes and Japanese Mochi recipes are usually based on sweet red bean paste, sweet white bean paste, mashed sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

This doesn't sound very tempting, especially since it's wrapped in rice flour – Mochi.

But you'd be doing a huge mistake not to taste them while in Tokyo. Traditional Japanese desserts have a very subtle sweet taste.

I know these sounds weird, but wait...

It only gets weirder - Japanese Desserts normally have a sticky texture.

But believe me, you have to Give Japanese food desserts a try! They are addicting…

The Japanese sweets are also a great way to include Green Tea products in everyday food, since there are Japanese Green Tea cakes and Japanese Green Tea ice cream.
