Food

Japan has a diverse food culture rooted in its rich natural environment and history. In 2013, it was added to the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List. Japanese cuisine is characterized not only tasty but is famous for its beautiful food presentation and healthy ingredients.

From traditional dishes like sushi or tempura to modern arrangements influenced by global food culture, the food adventure in Japan is amazing. For meat lovers, tonkatsu and Japanese (or Korean) barbecue are good choices, whereas traditionally Buddhist vegetarian dishes have been served in Zen temples.

Kawaii food

Kawaii culture is one of the notable characteristics of Japan.

In recent years, Japan's Kawaii pop culture is rapidly spreading overseas. Food is no exception. Especially, sweets and Bento (lunch box) are well known for their charm presentations.

Wagashi (Japanese confectionery) is offering another attraction. Because of its shapes and flavors that change with the seasons, it's like edible art.
