An EXTENSIVE look at what the Japanese eat for breakfast!
Plain white rice. Commonly referred to as gohan (not the Dragon Ball Dude) The Go-han we?re talking about here is prepared in a ?Sui-hanki,? or rice cooker.

Side note: ?Go-han? also means ?meal?
So breakfast would be 'Asa gohan' (morning meal)
Lunch would be 'Hiru gohan' (noontime meal)
and Dinner would be ?Ban gohan? (evening meal)

Japanese rice is nutritionally well-balanced, and contains large amounts of vegetable protein - the good kind, which in turn, helps to provide energy. It also contains a harmonious balance of calcium, vitamins, and dietary fiber.

Miso Soup(shiru)
Is another representative ingredient in a traditional Japanese meal. It?s created by transforming a mixture of fermented soybeans, salt, and a special fungus, into a miso paste, which is then combined with dashi soup stock, and mixed with hot water. Seaweed, tofu, mushrooms, and various other vegetables can also be added for additional healthy and delicious results.
Miso is protein-rich and bursting with folic acid,
minerals, as well as vitamins B, E, and K.

Sushi
Sushi is more of a lunch and beyond kinda thing.
When it comes to breakfast, the Japanese usually (get) throw down with with a nice cut of Sake (Nooo. Not alcohol 'sake.' THAT sake would be a problem for breakfast)
I?m talking about THIS Sake! (Salmon).
Sake is rich in:
Vitamin B, Potassium, Omega 3 fatty acids,
and may reduce heart disease.

Saba (mackerel)
Saba is loaded wit...
