<strong>Japan's</strong><br />
<strong>tasty</strong><br />
<strong>secrets</strong><br />
Local food that<br />
satisfies the world's most<br />
demanding eaters
Think you've already tried the best that Japan has to offer? It<br />
might be time to think again.<br />
Japan is packed with delicious dishes. All over the country<br />
people are constantly cooking up new ways to satisfy a nation's<br />
hunger for culinary perfection. Hundreds of gourmet treats<br />
come and go, some starting out as a local favorite and then<br />
sweeping the land. Occasionally a food fad will last, or maybe<br />
the nation grows to love a local delicacy over a period of years.<br />
The greatest success stories are rewarded with a place in the<br />
nation's heart.<br />
While various dishes are popular for showcasing local ingredients,<br />
many others succeed for the most basic reason of all: they<br />
taste great! And once a local food becomes established at the<br />
national level, it's made it. It's passed the ultimate test of<br />
culinary fitness. In many cases you don't even need to be a fan<br />
of mainstream Japanese cuisine to appreciate its value. It<br />
appeals instantly to anyone with an appetite. Other dishes are<br />
more of an adventure, requiring at least some awareness and<br />
appreciation of Japanese ingredients and their applications.<br />
And one or two delicacies may strike you as extreme cuisine:<br />
enjoyable only by those whose palate is completely attuned to<br />
the full range of tastes and textures found in Japan, surely the<br />
world's most diverse culinary culture.<br />
That easy-to-extreme diversity is evident even in our initial<br />
selection of local cuisines loved all over Japan—but you<br />
probably won't have to read long before something gets your<br />
mouth watering. Our second selection focuses on food that<br />
has won a loyal local following in the region where it<br />
originated. Here, too, you will find many dishes that can be—<br />
or already are—cherished across regional or national boundaries.<br />
And even if occasionally you catch yourself thinking, "I'm<br />
not sure I could eat that," remind yourself that each dish is a<br />
survivor of a merciless process of food selection. If Japan says<br />
it's fit to eat, it could be time to take your tastebuds to the<br />
gym!<br />
Now come on; let's eat! Itadakimasu!
