 Cuisines of Japan
 

Your journey to the land of the Rising Sun is not complete without the
experience of flavors, aromas, and spirit of the Japanese food
(Nihon-Ryori). The dishes do not just taste great but they are like
ceremonies, which bring us, closer to the food and the people who make
it. Eating Japanese food can truly be a cultural experience.

You can try tasting different traditional & regional types of Japanese
cuisine, at the restaurants. However, as an Indian visitor or a
resident, you might feel frustration when it comes to mealtime....
there are few English menus and English speaking staff to be found.

There are going to be more problems incase you are a vegetarian.
Vegetarian food is less common in Japan. You might try asking them
“Niku nukide dekimaska?” (Does it come without meat?). But remember,
that even though you request for a purely vegetarian meal, there is no
guarantee and a bit of knowledge (from this website) will best ensure
that you’re not dining from the fat of the lamb.
