Umm... Rice

In Japan they eat some pretty sexy food. Lets get straight into it. First off we have...rice! And they don't eat rice just because they're Asians ya racists. Over there, it is pretty easy to grow rice in their environment, so that take advantage of that.

The Japanese have;

Gohan: Which is cooked rice. (Might be served with pickles...)

Rice Cakes: Don't be fooled. These aren't sweet. Think of biscuits. Although they're traditionally a seasonal new years treat (Like some good old watermelon...), they can be served alongside dishes throughout the year.

Rice Balls: These are not just... BALLS of rice. They are wrapped in seaweed, seasoned, and have a yum-yum filling (I made up the word yum-yum. Relax.)

Tamago Kake Gohan: Basically, this is rice, raw egg, and soy sauce. Not gonna lie... this sounds kinda nasty.

Sushi: The great sushi. Whats in it. Well, RICE (generally cooked with vinegar), along with raw fish, sometimes wrapped in seaweed. You can pick up sushi at like any grocery store. Duh, its Japan.

Fried rice: Ok, we ALL saw this coming. Fried rice along with anything that tastes good in a pot. Onions, vegetables, meat. (Can easily be made from leftover rice.)

*On a side note, rice flour is commonly used in Japan (just like we use wheat flour).

So if you ever go to Japan, my advice to you is get used to rice, because its in hella food over there. Next week... all that other food I missed.
