Japanese breakfast is very similar to any typical local dish of the day. You would usually get a variety of small portions, including steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish, pickles, and some Japanese breakfast omelet, which is usually sweet. For western people eating a full meal that we would rather choose for dinner seems very strange. But once you are in Japan you should definitely try it out. Not only it is extremely delicious, but it is very healthy packed with protein, healthy fats and very little sugar, especially compared to the western choices of cereal or pancakes.
A Traditional Japanese-Style Breakfast Consists Of Steamed Rice, Miso Soup, And Various Side Dishes. Common Side Dishes Are Broiled/Grilled Fish, Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelet), Tsukemono Pickles, Nori (Dried Seaweed), Natto, And So On.
Gyoza
Gyoza was derived from Chinese pot stickers but the skin is thinner and usually smaller in size. Nowadays you can buy packages of frozen gyoza from supermarkets, but it’s actually more fun to make your own with family and friends. Also, it can be pretty versatile as you can put your leftover ingredients from the fridge or you can make just veggies only (usually it has pork in it).
Rolled Omelette
Tamagoyaki, a typical breakfast protein, is a Japanese egg omelette where thin layers of egg are rolled to create a thick and fluffy omelette, and then sliced into pieces. It is often seasoned with a sweet and savory dashi (depending on the cook's preference), and milk may or may not be added to create a fluffier texture. Grated Japanese daikon radish is often served on the side.
Donburi
Donburi (rice bowl dish) is an economical, fulfilling, and quick & easy meal. It is my go-to menu when I don’t have much time to prepare full meal for my family. Most common donburi include Gyudon (beef donburi), Oyakodon (chicken & egg donburi), Katsudon (deep-fried cutlet & egg donburi), Unadon (grilled eel donburi), and more.
Teriyaki Chicken
Teriyaki Chicken is one of the most popular Japanese dishes in the US. Ready made “Teriyaki Sauce” is usually available in nearby supermarkets. Interestingly, Teriyaki is actually a cooking technique, not the name of the sauce: teri means “luster” given by the sweet soy sauce marinade and yaki means “grilling”. The Japanese cooks all kinds of meat, seafood, and vegetables with this cooking method. Since the taste is sweet and savory, they are usually a hit with children as well.
Steamed Rice
Plain steamed rice, either white rice (hakumai) or brown rice (genmai), is an essential dish that accompanies the proteins and side dishes of breakfast, and should definitely be included.
