Personally, I prefer Japanese Foods to any other cuisine.
It's healthy, it's light, and it tastes Soooo good…

On top of that – it is always presented in such a beautiful way.


Tokyo Food Menu

  • A bowl of plain cooked rice is served with every Japanese meal. Yes, breakfast too. Click here to learn more on the breakfast in Tokyo.



  • A Traditional Japanese Meal is always served with green tea.

  • A bowl of Miso Soup accompanies breakfast, lunch and dinner too. It is made from Miso paste, wakame seaweed and small pieces of tofu.
    Tofu Natto , Miso and many other ingredients of traditional Japanese foods are made of soy beans.

  • Agedashi Tofu is tofu slices that are deep fried and dipped into a soy sauce.

  • Tempura is deep fried food - seafood or vegetables and mushrooms coated with tempura mix.

  • Tonkatsu are deep fried pork cutlets.

  • Okonomiyaki a simple warming comfort food, eaten in restaurants or better even - at food stalls in festivals.

    It is basically made from flour, eggs and cabbage. The toppings can be meat, seafood, wasabi or cheese. The toppings change according to the region.


  • To grasp the amount of seafood eaten in Japan I recommend a visit to Tokyo fish market – the largest seafood market in the world.

  • Sashimi is raw fish, eaten with soy sauce and wasabi. Impeccably fresh fish is the secret to wonderful sashimi and sushi. You can count on it to be fresh and clean in every Tokyo restaurant.
