Japan

Japanese cuisine is a refined art that combines delicate flavors, meticulous techniques, and a carefully crafted aesthetic. Among the most iconic specialties are sushi and sashimi, two dishes that highlight raw fish and the freshness of ingredients: sushi pairs vinegared rice with various toppings, while sashimi focuses on finely sliced raw fish./p>

Ramen, a noodle soup served in a flavorful broth (made with soy sauce, miso, chicken, or pork), is also very popular and can be topped with meat, marinated eggs, and vegetables. Tempura offers a crispy experience with seafood or vegetables coated in light batter and fried to perfection.

Yakitori, grilled and seasoned chicken skewers, is a popular snack in izakayas (Japanese tapas bars), while okonomiyaki, a thick pancake filled with cabbage, meat, or seafood, is cooked on a hot griddle and served with sauces and bonito flakes.
