It would seem the most common Japanese meal is ichiju-sansai, which translates roughly to "one soup, three sides". Since the staple of the Japanese diet is rice, this consists of a bowl of rice (or occasionally, soba or udon noodles), a bowl of soup (usually miso) and three okazu (side dishes). Typically each side dish utilizes a different cooking technique with raw, simmered (typically in a broth rather than plain water) and grilled being the most traditional techniques used. As such you might have raw fish (sashimi), simmered vegetables, and grilled chicken as your three okazu. Other cooking techniques can be applied as well, such as fried, steamed, vinegared (pickled) or dressed (like a salad).

The basic formula can also be changed. A lighter meal such as breakfast, for example, might be an ichiju-issai ("one soup, one side") and could be a simple as rice, miso soup and pickled vegetables such as daikon or cucumber.
