Japanese foods throughout history have been considered an integral part of the rhythm of life.
Originally popularized in western culture by sukiyaki and sushi, Japanese cuisine has become much more accepted and appreciated around the world. Many visitors to Japan will have already sampled the pleasures of raw fish or batter-fried shrimp. But few first-time visitors to Japan are prepared for the variety and sumptuousness of Japanese food, as it is traditionally prepared. Eating in Japan is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered for the rest of your life.
Traditionally, Japanese food is fresh, healthy, and low in fat. Food must satisfy all the senses by being prepared with great care and beautifully presented. The freshest ingredients are combined in ways that delight the eyes as well as the taste buds. Seasonings are generally very simple in order to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients used.

The dedication to visual appeal actually enhances a meal. Japanese cuisine is often characterized as uniquely refined, fastidious and subtle. Equally important is the message it conveys through cooking methods and artful presentation often connoting a season or replicating a scene of nature.
