Rice Dishes
Rice is often served on its own as a side dish, and is well known as a large part of sushi. Onigiri are rice balls with some sort of stuffing in the middle. Domburi is a bowl of rice with meat, vegetables, egg or another topping. Kare Raisu is rice with a curry sauce. Okayu is a rice porridge that is often served to the sick, much like chicken soup is in the United States. Ochazuke is rice made with green tea, salmon and seaweed. Mochi is a sweetened rice ball sold as a dessert, and sometimes made with ice cream. -
Noodle Dishes
Udon are a thick wheat noodle that is usually served hot, often in soup. Soba is a thinner, buckwheat noodle that is often served cold, but occasionally comes in a hot broth. Somen, usually eaten cold, are a thin wheat noodle. Ramen is a wheat noodle usually served in a hot, meat-based broth. Every region has its own variant on ramen. It is also a popular instant food. -
