This cuisine comes in a small package, but packs a powerful punch. Whether it’s the elegant simplicity of sushi or one of the more complex dishes on the menu, Japanese food is elegantly prepared to appeal as much to the eye as the taste buds. For sushi lovers, there is always a staggering variety of rolls and wraps and sashimi on the menu. With a dash of soy sauce and wasabi, you’ll soon be in a paradise of texture and flavour. But for those not in the mood to go raw, there are always plenty of other options to choose from, from udon noodles to teriyaki chicken to kobe beef.
Best of all, it is almost impossible to sit down at a Japanese restaurant and not have a rollicking good time. If you don’t already know, sake and beer are essential ingredients in Japanese cuisine. Combine them, and you suddenly have a table full Sake Bombs, rowdy chanting, and the party has officially begun.
