However, because of the time and effort it takes to catch fish, other food types are becoming more important. Japanese culture is one of balance, and of following the seasons. Bamboo shoots are eaten in spring and chestnuts in autumn. Traditional Japanese cuisine has plain rice at the centre of almost every meal. Individual dishes served during a meal are known as ‘okazu’. The simplest meal possible is the ‘ichiju-issai’ (‘soup plus one’ in English). This means soup, rice and one accompanying side dish. What should you drink with your food? ‘Genmaicha’ is a popular green tea. Because it is also made with rice it is sometimes called ‘popcorn tea’ because of the nutty grains you may find floating in your drink.

You may need to cool down in the sea afterwards! Me
