Japanese cuisine includes the country's regional and traditional dishes, which have evolved over centuries of political, economic, and social change. Traditional Japanese cuisine (washoku) is based on rice, miso soup, and other dishes, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth are common side dishes. Seafood is widely available, and it is frequently grilled, but it is also served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Tempura refers to the deep-frying of seafood and vegetables in a light batter. Noodles, such as soba and udon, are a staple in addition to rice. Japanese cuisine has been influenced by Chinese cuisine in the past, but in the contemporary day, it has also been impacted by Western cuisines. Ramen and gyza, for example, are dishes inspired by foreign cuisine, particularly Chinese cuisine. Spaghetti, curries, and hamburgers, among other dishes, have been modified to suit Japanese tastes and ingredients. Some regional dishes, such as Okinawan cuisine's taco rice, have become popular throughout Japan, having been influenced by American and Mexican eating customs. Because of Buddhism, the Japanese have traditionally avoided meat, although, since the 1880s, meat-based dishes such as tonkatsu and yakiniku have become popular. The popularity of Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and ramen, has spread around the globe.
Here are some Japanese dishes that are worth trying-
Kamameshi
This dish hails from Kamameshi Prefecture in southern Honshu, although it is currently available throughout Japan. It gets its name from the way it's prepared (kama means 'pot,' and meshi means 'rice'). It's similar to a rice casserole in that rice and other ingredients like meat, veggies, and mushrooms are layered in a donabe (Japanese pot) and then steam cooked. When cooked properly, the bottom layer of rice turns crispy, while the rest of the rice mixture stays tender.
