While the rest of the world has bacon and eggs for breakfast, the Japanese have rice and miso with a vegetable pickle. Japanese have their soul in cooking; they prefer to eat at home, and cooking is their way to rest on a holiday. With all the uniqueness Japanese breakfast has to offer, it is still delicious in its way.

With the increased robotization of lives, the Japanese do not always have time to eat at home. But even with hectic schedules, they do not eat out or order fast food. They prefer to make meals with ready-made stuff but still choose to eat healthily at home. Food in Japan is increasingly diverse, inspired by ingredients that both land and the sea have to offer. Their food tells a story of their ancient roots, which is inspiring yet also innovative.
