As we all know, the Japanese cuisine has its own unique traditional and seasonal dishes such as rice dishes, meat, seafood, and side dishes full of fish and pickled vegetables. Here I’ll be explaining three famous Japanese food such as Sushi, Ramen and my personal favorite Tonkatsu. So without being said let’s go ahead and get right into it.

Sushi is indeed a worldwide gift from the Japanese. Sushi is actually raw fish served on rice with small amount of vinegar rolled up with toasted seaweed. Because of its freshness of the ingredients, sushi has been known for its rich taste and juiciness. Sushi can be tangy at times but with its variety of flavors and textures people have their own personal favorites. Its popularity caused a lot of creative minds to make their own version of sushi like mixing and adding more ingredients which caused the variety of flavors and textures of sushi.

Ramen is a Japanese noodle dish which has menma, onions, soy sauce or miso, seaweed, and pork as toppings. Actually, Ramen are originally Chinese style noodles but it was varied ever since and allowed the Japanese to make their own version which is known for. Ramen is known for its three factors; the various and freshness of the ingredients, inexpensive, and is widely available making it a good ideal choice for the travelers.

Lastly, the Tonkatsu my personal favorite. Because of its crunchy and fresh ingredients such as cabbage, breaded pork cutlets, and the sauce itself made me fall in love with Tonkatsu. It may not be the healthiest food around but it's rather a comfort food which I couldn't agree more. Tonkatsu is also a western style Japanese food but because of its common ingredients that can be found in most supermarkets, Tonkatsu can be really easy to make.



In recent years, Japanese cuisine has become much more familiar and admire by the world. With a wide variety of dishes, people have their own favorite dish and even try to make a version of their own. Japanese food wasn't just popular but because of its seasonal changes in food made the Japanese dish unique compare to other cuisines.
