To most, it’s an old Monty Python skit. But if you’re on Okinawa, it’s a way of life.

One of the great joys of living in Japan is experiencing the wide range of traditional Japanese pickles, or tsukemono, that are served with every meal.

Nothing says fast food in the south of Japan like “tako-raisu!” And 2021 marks the 37th birthday of this signature Okinawan dish, according to local lore.

Japanese food is absolutely amazing, but it’s also completely different in taste, presentation, and texture from dishes in many Western countries.

Sushi, tempura, savory ‘okonomiyaki’ pancakes – there are so many yummy edibles in Japan that you shouldn’t miss during your stay. Sample some of this lingo the next time you’re at a local restaurant to experience some of these specialties.

Japan is a country which has many unique cultures within it, and slurping is one of the most unusual characteristics! This can be a huge surprise when you come across it for the first time as it often is considered as a bad behavior at meal in many other countries
