Traditional Japanese Food

Many people hesitate before tasting Traditional Japanese Foods, especially the raw dishes.

That's a pity since there is nothing like Traditional Japanese Food culture for an exciting gastronomic experience with Super tastes, colors and smells.

Not many people don't know this, but restaurants in Tokyo are amazing. The city is building a reputation as the ‘dining capital of the world'.

Food in Tokyo won't make you feel heavy. The Traditional Japanese diet is considered to be the cause for the longevity local people enjoy.

Many traditional Japanese foods have major health benefits backed by medical research, like blood clots prevention, blood pressure control and prevention of cancer.


The Traditional Japanese diet relies heavily on soybeans. Soybeans are said to be the most complete nutritious food.

Miso Soup and tofu which accompany breakfast, lunch and dinner in Tokyo, are also made from Soybeans.

A Japanese meal consists of a large variety of small dishes. Traditional local food is always presented in such a beautiful way.

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

It's true that there are Tokyo Restaurants where you will pay a fortune, but besides them there are thousands of affordable Restaurants in Tokyo selling yummy food, without being expensive.

Be bold and try Okonomiyaki

This tasty dish is sometimes referred to as 'Japanese pancake', but it's not sweet.

Forget about maple syrup or chocolate topping, here you'll have it with octopus, shrimp, pork and cheese.

The problem of hygiene which you have in so many other countries in Asia is non existent in Tokyo. All Tokyo Restaurants and food stalls are clean and safe.

And now comes the part you've been waiting for…


Looking For A Tokyo Restaurant?

Traditional Japanese food comes in many forms – from a cheap and cheerful Izakaya (like a Bar, but with better food) to high-end Michelin recommended restaurants, with cover charges to match.

If you've come to town to celebrate and enjoy with your other half, you might want to check out…

Izakaya - The Unique Japanese Style Restaurant

An Izakaya is a Japanese style Tokyo Restaurant combined with a bar.

Japanese office workers unwind at an Izakaya after putting in a good 16 hours at the office.The atmosphere is cheerful and loud.

Unlike a Bar or a pub, the Izakaya has a large variety of Traditional Japanese foods, that go well with the sake and Shochu from selected breweries throughout Japan.

Romantic Tokyo Restaurants

For an evening you will never forget try one of the Romantic Tokyo Restaurants. It's a list of every restaurant in Tokyo with Romantic atmosphere I could recommend. Most of them are top class restaurants or bars with the view of urban lights.

There's nothing like glamor and style combined with excellent city views from the 52nd floor to make your hearts beat faster.

Each Romantic Tokyo restaurant targets a different crowd and budget.

But do dress elegantly, as most locals dress very formally. Evening dress code would be a suit or a jacket for men, Skirts and high heels for women. If you want to feel like part of the crowd - Jeans are not an option while dining.

And for those of you looking for a Gastronomic and Aesthetic adventure that will give you something to brag about for the rest of your life…


Recommended Restaurants By Michelin Restaurant Guide Tokyo

Michelin Guide For Tokyo has acknowledged the fact that this is one of the most amazing cities in the world in terms of restaurants.

Here is an update of Michelin Restaurant Guide Tokyo published Nov '09.


Breakfast In Tokyo

The Japanese Food Culture considers breakfast to be the most important meal of the day. Breakfast In Tokyo is probably one of the secrets of the typical Japanese diet, and why the locals have one of the longest life spans.

Or perhaps what keeps them looking young are...


The Japanese Desserts

Sugary desserts are not a part of Traditional Japanese food.
Japanese Desserts are usually made from Green tea products and red beans paste!

A Japanese cake has a very subtle sweet taste. Generally all Japanese sweets are made from pounded rice.

Japanese Mochi has a sweet red bean paste, or sweet white bean paste filling. Other Japanese sweets include mashed sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

I know this sounds weird, but wait...
It only gets weirder - Japanese Desserts normally have a sticky texture.

But believe me, they are soooo yummy…Give it a try!

Each season the stores change the colors and shapes of Japanese cakes to reflect the change of season.

The Japanese desserts can be the colors of Autumn in Japan and the shape of maple leaves, or brighter pinkish colors during Cherry Blossom season.

The Japanese sweets are a great way to include Green Tea products in everyday food.

For a Japanese Dessert Recipe made out of Matcha follow this link to Green Tea recipes.
