The standards vary by country. In the US the standard tip is considered to be 15 to 20% of the bill before any special discounts or coupons are factored in. You may also tip them on how nice they were (for example, if the workers were nice to you, you may want to tip extra).

"Traditional" Miso Soup that you would probably order in a restaurant is NOT actually vegan, because one of the ingredients is "dashi", which is made from fish.

However, Miso Soup can easily be made to be vegan.

Japanese food grilled at the dinner table.

There is not enough land in Japan that can be used for growing crops or raising animals, so they tend to exist on rice that they grow, and fish, which they have caught for thousands of years.

The ocean is all around Japan, and is the easiest way to get good, nourishing meat.

Why sushi? Why not? Cooking food is more part of the European/American culture than the Japanese; besides, sushi is tasty. Now, if the Japanese ate a lot of pork, they would have learned centuries ago to cook it. The Japanese also eat a lot of pickled foods (which are not cooked).

Sushi is a popular dish with many different variations and Ingredients. Seafood is common and there are two that are very popular. Tuna (regular and spicy) and crab are frequently found in sushi.

Japanese generally eat three meals: asagohan/choshoku, hirugohan/chushoku, and yugohan/yushoku. They correspond to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and are eaten t approximately the same times as Western meals.

There are 5 grams in one teaspoon of miso paste. There are 25 grams in 5 teaspoons and 50 grams in 10 teaspoons.

one of the important parts of a Japanese diet are the one and only, Vegetables! now aren't I the smart one? if you want the other two parts, keep asking! I'll tell you when I find out cause well, I'm in 5th grade!

It Doesn't. Everybody has their own personal tastes, Yours might be Japanese over Chinese.

For the most ridiculously easy rice balls... You need to buy some short grain Sushi rice first. Then follow the instructions on the packet (if you like really sticky rice then add another 1/4 cup of water to it). Put the rice on some glad-wrap, a small amount, about 2 table spoons. Salt the rice and then put in your desired fillings, add another layer of rice on top of that. Gather up the gad wrap adnd twist, while shaping the ball with one hand. Top with seseme seeds and/or nori. Enjoy the rice balls. You can eat them with soy sauce or sweet chilli sauce.

*Hint- if you are very good at making them, after some practise, you can mold them using your hands. The rice is very stcky so definatly put water or salted water or vinegar on your hands first.*

It can be said 'miruku,' or 'gyuunyuu.'

In japan , a lot of people do like seafood, chicken, pork, vegetables, fruits, grains and soy milk. Soy milk is more common than cows milk in the east. They eat healthyer than western cultures. They get most of their starch from rice and grains, and protein from grains and veggies and soymilk other than fatty meats.

There homes and farms are very close to the sea, and there is little flatland.

No.

Yakisoba noodles are wheat based-- rice noodles are, obviously, rice- based. Rice noodles are a great substitute for wheat noodles in soups and pastas, but the texture and taste of yakisoba requires the wheat noodle.

From the viewpoint of a Japanese, I would say curry rice, ramen noodle and gyoza. Not sushi or tempura, which are popular in Japan but not something we eat on a regular basis, rather they are special dishes eaten in restaurants. Oh, you should know teriyaki chicken and teppanyaki (including hibachi) are not Japanese food at all! Virtually all of these restaurants are owned and operated by poeple without any clue about Japanese food, and customers are eating without any clue about Japanese food.

Ideally, one should aim for five servings of fruit or vegetables each day. Generally, a portion will be a glass of fruit juice, a single piece of fruit such as an apple, or a medium sized serving of vegetables with a meal.

While it is unclear where sushi originally came from, it is widely accepted as a purely Japanese food item. Being an island nation, fish and other seafood is a big part of Japanese cuisine. Similarly, as a nation of rice farmers, this is the main staple in Japanese cuisine. Naturally, the two have come together in many forms, one of which is what you know as sushi. There will always be multiple versions of where things originated, but for an idea of the brief history of sushi, see this site: http://www.asianartmall.com/originsofsushi.htm

Yh, of course there is a sweet wine in japan, every county they have a sweet wine!

I think it's normal like us with knives and forks, possibly with just they're bare hands, but if it's sushi, noodles and other regular foods they eat I beleive it is chopsticks.

Hoped I Helped! :)

It is no-no in japan to pick up your rice or miso soup bowl and hold it under your chin
