Traditional Japanese Breakfast

Now days Japanese-eating habits is becoming more westernized, with many families choosing American style of meals in breakfast like toast, cereals etc. for the convenience factor, many Japanese still choose for an ultra-balanced conventional Japanese breakfast.

The foundation of such a meal is white rice, which goes along with a steaming “miso” soup with tofu and seaweed. A variety of garnishes, such as nori (laver), antto (fermented soya beans), umeboshi (pickled plum) and tsukemono (pickled vegetables) are added to make the meal more stimulating, while side dishes of grilled fish, tamagoyaki ( a rolled egg omlette), and vegetables are also typical. As it does with any meal in Japan, green tea goes along very well with most of the breakfast meals.
