A Virtual Taste of Ramen
Ramen is an iconic food from Japan, which can be compared only to sushi in popularity, not only inside but also outside the country of the rising sun. It is said that the Japanese version of ramen originated in the Yokohama Chinatown during the Edo period, evolving for generations into the unique dish as it is known today.
Okonomiyaki
The word “Okonomiyaki” derives from the word “okonomi”, which means “what you like” or “what you want”, and “yaki” means “grilled” or “cooked”. It is a savory, tasty pancake, full of vegetables, seafood, meat and adored by the locals.
Kaitenzushi
Sushi is a Japanese food appreciated worldwide. However, despite its popularity, the famous specialty restaurants can be quite expensive.
