One of the key aspects of a culture is its customs with food. Luckily we had PLENTY of opportunity to try all sorts of culturally typical Japanese foods.
“Parent and Child” Chicken and Egg over rice with Soba Noodles
A typical japanese fast food breakfast – Miso, rice with raw egg, beef and tea!
Sushi and Sake for Lunch!
Shrimp Tempura Soba
Bento box for dinner on the Shinkansen
Spicy three cheese tofu in Kyoto
Japanese Omelet
Dumplings
Matcha (Green Tea) Ice cream
I think he best way to learn about another culture is to completely immerse oneself in it. One way of doing this is through a cultures food. Luckily in Japan we got the opportunity to try many different foods. I felt like by experiencing the food of Japan and the customs surrounding food, I better experienced the ancient Japanese culture.
