2. Takoyaki \u305f\u3053\u713c\u304d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first time I tried Takoyaki was in the UK, I never actually thought I’d like octopus due to past unsettling experiences. However, these blew my mind! Takoyaki is served deep-fried with a creamy filling with octopus inside them. They are basically found everywhere, definitely give it a go if you want to try some really tasty food in Japan, it’s also quite fun to watch them being made if you ever come across a Takoyaki stand.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Yakitori \u713c\u304d\u9ce5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can’t wait to try Japanese grilled chicken? Then Yakitori is one of the top choices for you on your trip to Tokyo! It’s a simple but tasty dish of bite-sized pieces of chicken on wooden skewers, grilled over charcoal, and brushed with a beautiful sweet soy glaze. <\/p>\n\n\n

4. Sushi \u5bff\u53f8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Can’t beat a bit of Sushi! Probably the most well-known cuisine from Japan that pretty much everyone has tried these days. However, Sushi is beyond the next level to try in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, people tend to go for seafood Sushi, but you can also get vegan, duck, and chicken Sushi. They can be found everywhere in Japan and can also be enjoyed on a tight budget as well as at an expensive restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n

5. Ramen \u30e9\u30fc\u30e1\u30f3<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, make sure you’re hungry before you go for your Ramen! It may not look very filling, but you would be surprised how full up you get. But by all means, if you still have room for another portion do it like the Japanese locals – have a refill and just slurp away! Secondly, be prepared to be overwhelmed by the perfect chewy noodles, egg, juicy char siu pork, bamboo shoots, and nori sheets in a bowl of fantastic soup broth.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ramen shops are easy to find and are often dotted around train stations, office buildings, and on the streets. There are loads of different options such as Shio ramen, spicy shoyu, tsukemen, miso, and even cold ramen for those wanting something a bit different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Soba \u305d\u3070 & Udon \u3046\u3069\u3093<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Soba was first eaten in noodle form in Japan around 400 years ago. These noodles are made of buckwheat flour: they are easy to eat and wonderful to add to ramen or in the dish Yaki Soba, as well as many other dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best soba is hands-down made in-house from scratch, and it won’t be hard to find on the menu in restaurants. Here are a few sensational dishes for you to try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
