Q: what is the japanese staple diet - smith
A: I’m not sure really, I guess it depends on where you live. I’m in Tokyo this week and everyone seems to exist on beer, coffee and balls of rice! In the countryside, where I live, the usual meal everyday is that everyone has a bowl of rice then there are dishes of vegetables, pickles or fish in the table and you pick and eat what you like. It’s all nice stuff though! I’m starting my national tour this week so I think I might start up a Japanese food blog!

When I was in Japan last year, I noticed that breakfast was not at all like european breakfast, with invariably a piece of grilled fish, miso soup, lots of rice, pickled vegetables and always a little packet of dry seaweed. I assumed that one crumbled the seaweed into the miso soup but never knew for sure.
In Kyoto I used to eat in the big mall under Kyoto station and loved the buckwheat noodles with ebi tempura, yummy.
I am going back for a second dose in September.
