The Japanese people eat many things. Rice, noodles, fish, meat and vegetables. Of course, it's what they do with these ingredients that counts.

For example, rice is often eaten plain, with accompanying dishes, or as sushi, where it is topped with fish.

Noodles in Japan are generally divided into 3 main types, Soba or buckwheat noodles, Udon a thick and chewy noodle made of wheat flour, and Ramen, a Chinese style wheat noodle. Noodles are most often served in soup, with a dipping sauce, or pan fried.

Fish in Japan, when served raw, is called Sashimi, and when paired with vinegared rice, it is sushi. It can be prepared in many other ways eg. grilling, frying, steaming, much like it is done in other countries.

Meat and vegetables are also served in a variety of ways, both cooked and raw. Chicken, beef, and even horse sashimi are not unheard of, though they are far less common than fish sashimi.

The Japanese people do enjoy foreign cuisine as well. Curry, salisbury steak, pasta, and Chinese buns are some of the most popular ones that have been adapted to suit Japanese tastes.

Going back to your question though, most families enjoy rice and accompanying dishes (usually a meat/fish and vegetables and soup) as home cooked meals.

Popular Japanese dishes such as sushi or ramen are most often eaten at restaurants and not at home.
