What are the dishes in Japanese cuisine

Japanese dishes include omelet rice, eel, sushi, ramen, tonkatsu, and wakame. Japanese cuisine usually consists of a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup; a traditional Japanese breakfast, for example, usually consists of miso soup, rice, and a dish of pickles. The most common dish is called a "three-course meal" (三菜餐) (Japanese: 一汁三菜/いちじゅうさんさい), which consists of a soup, rice, and three plates of vegetables cooked in different ways. The three dishes are usually a dish of sashimi, a dish of grilled vegetables, and a dish of boiled vegetables, or steamed, fried, vinegared, or drizzled with sauce. The "three-course meal" is often accompanied by pickles and green tea. A popular pickle is dried plums.

Japanese cuisine requires fresh ingredients, careful cutting, artistic presentation, and harmony among color, aroma, taste, and utensils, and emphasizes not only the sense of taste, but also visual enjoyment. Wagyu requires natural color, fresh taste, variety of shapes, and excellent utensils. Moreover, the seasonal sense is emphasized in the materials and seasoning method.
