Where to find the best food in Japan?
The tastes of Japan
Though Japanese cuisine has stormed the world food scene, as evident by the plethora of Japanese restaurants worldwide, nothing compares to enjoying authentic Japanese food at its source. Local cuisine, divided into traditional, regional, and seasonal dishes, includes rice (gohan), miso soup, pickled vegetables, and, of course, seafood. Choose from popular sashimi to exotic uni (sea urchin). Meat, which was introduced to the Japanese diet during the modernization of Japan, is also common on menus – look for yakiniku (grilled meat). Other must-tries include soba, ramen, and Kobe beef, with drinks such as matcha (green tea), sake, and Japanese beer.

What to do in Japan
As a historical country and an urban destination, Japan offers the best of both worlds. In Tokyo alone, you can see Shinto temples and the Imperial Palace, along with modern enclaves such as Akihabara and Shinjuku.

In the south, Kyoto is a haven for culture lovers. Join a food tour when in Japan or learn something new like sushi making, ikebana (flower arrangement), or calligraphy.
