Today, Japanese food is famous worldwide. In Madrid, where I live, there are many Japanese restaurants bueos. 
  When we talk about la comida japonesa, lo primero que se nos ocurre pnesar es dos comidas tipicas:   
   Sushi  ( sushi ) y  Sashimi  ( sashimi ).

    The  Sashimi is raw fish , and   Sushi Sashimi is a   with a ball of rice. The rice used for sushi   is lightly seasoned with vinegar and    .  
  
    Any fish may be Sushi Sashimi   and . Even eating the puffer fish Fugu   ( 鳆 フグ ) in Japan. But this fish is a deadly poison in the gut and is only allowed to cook if the cook has a special license given by the Japanese government. For this reason, it is not allowed to cook at home and you can not buy fish    entire globe in the market. If you want to eat puffer fish, go to a specialty restaurant or buy it made.

  are very traditional Japanese noodles. The   Soba is made from flour Soba   (a plant) and has a gray color. Sieve is cold as you see in the picture, or a bowl of hot soup. In Japan, there is a custom to eat Soba   the end of the year and this is called Soba  Toshi-Koshi-Soba  ( 年越し 蕎麦 と し こし そば ). It has to eat and finish before 12:00 pm and say they finished the bowl of Soba   brings luck for the coming year. Conversely, if you leave something in the bowl will bring bad luck. 
    Tempura is a coating of vegetables and seafood. 
   Misoshiru  is a soup made with the base Miso paste   ( 味噌 みそ ).  Miso paste is made from soybean . It's like a stew of vegetables, shells and / or algae etc ... In Japan, traditionally  Misoshiru  breakfast with white rice, with a bit of seaweed, or eggs or   Natto (what eplicaré later!). It is also eaten for lunch and dinner. It's a very homemade soup and each family takes out a special flavor. So for many Japanese a taste of  Misoshiru  is the flavor of the mother. 
    Okonomiyaki is a very traditional food like others, but it is very common. It is a flour pancake with vegetables, seafood, meats, etc.. It is cooked on the grill. 
    Ramen is a food of Chinese origin, but has evolved in the original way in Japan. Are noodles in the soup, and put up vegetables, meat, or eggs etc ... The flavor of the soup is very varied. The most common are   Shoyu ( 醤 油 しょうゆ ) which is soy sauce or Miso   ( 味噌 みそ ) or  Tonkotsu  ( 豚 骨 とんこつ ) that hacecon the pork bone broth. 
    Gyoza is also a food of Chinese origin. Is a patty of minced meat and grilled vegetables. Also steamed and is distinguished as   Mushi-Gyoza ( 蒸し 餃子 むし ぎょ う ざ ) or served in soup called Sui-Gyoza   ( 水 饺子 すい ぎょ う ざ   ). 
  Yakiniku is grilled meat. Usually eaten with several people, eg family or friends. In Yakiniku restaurants , there plates at each table and each meat is cooked to your liking. It is a meal Koreano origin, but the type of sauce is slightly different than that of Korea. It is a very common food in Japan, you could include in the category of Japanese food.
   Curry Rice is of English origin, who came to Japan through India. It is very different than the Curry of India. It is considered as a home cooked meal, and arguably very difficult to find a Japanese person who likes   Curry Rice! 
  There are more strange things that are eaten in Japan. For many foreigners, much effort is needed to test ... 
  The  Natt    or a product is out of soybeans. Devido viscosity has a lot to fermentation. It smells and tastes very strong and for many foreigners and even some Japanese, it is difficult to get close to the mouth (hahaha). Nutritionally, the   Natto is rich in vitamins and albumin and is very easy to digest. Is often take a little soy sauce and mustard and eat it with rice.

   The  Umeboshi is a Japanese plum encrutido. In Japan usually eat rice. Is red because it had to   Shiso (紫    苏 シソ ). Is widely used for Obento   ( お 弁当 お べ んとう ) which is a box to carry food, and the color of rice (white) and above   Umeboshi (red) represents the Japanese flag and called   Hinomaru-Bento ( 日の丸 弁当 ひ の まる べ んとう ). Hinomaru   means the flag of Japan. Also widely used for onigiri   ( おにぎり ) which is a rice ball with seaweed.
