Through the sudden hunger haze your eyes settle onto a towering sign. You’ve just stumbled upon one of Japan’s many beloved family restaurants!

Japan is a country that is internationally renowned for its incredible food scene. Tokyo boasts some of the greatest Michelin-Starred restaurants that offer unique, one-of-a-kind experiences well worth the plane ticket.

Despite Japanese culture frowning on eating while on the streets, some places have managed to create a niche where enjoying the food while on the go is part of the experience.

Omurice is a popular Japanese comfort food, made of fried rice and eggs!  It’s a mainstay in both convenience stores and Japanese restaurants. Find out where in Japan you can enjoy this classic fried rice in unique varieties!

There’s a lot to enjoy at a Japanese summer festival – fireworks, traditional games, and of course, we can’t miss out on festival food!

World-famous Japanese foods like sushi, sashimi, and tempura all require careful prep and complicated techniques. However, Japanese festival and street food sold at yatai (mobile food stalls) also have their own appeal and are worth a try.
