What are the top 5 foods in Japan?

Nomad Chef

Generally speaking probably Sushi, Sashimi, Tempura, Ramen, Shabu Shabu which is Japanese hot pot? If you are asking by region, Hokkaido is known for Ishikari Hot Pot, Tohoku is known for Soba Noodles, Kanto is known for Yakitori (Grilled Skewered Chicken), Chubu is known for Pork Cutlet with Miso Sauce, Kansai is known for Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki (Grilled Octopus Balls), Chugoku is known for blowfish dishes, Kyushu is known for pollock roes, etc.

Wow, lot more than five. Nomad Chef, you are quite the over achiever. Of course I agree with: Sushi, Sashimi and Ramen; they are everywhere. Soba and Miso Sauce is just as popular as the other three mentioned. 👍
