The traditional Japanese cuisine is based on rice with miso soup and also consists of other dishes such as Sashimi, Sushi or Udon. It is also usually accompanied with a hot glass of green tea. Long ago, Japan was secluded from the outside world so since it was an island, their main source of food was seafood, mainly fish. Their food was traditionally made fresh because of their link to Buddhism therefore they have foods like Sashimi. In this day and age, Japanese cuisine is well liked by people from all walks of life and can be found at every corner of the world. It has been globalized to the extent that even Europeans and Americans are eating it on a common basis. Here in Singapore, there are many different Japanese restaurants with different qualities of food. There is the common Sakae Sushi located near housing areas and there is Sushi Tei which is usually located at higher end places as their food is typically more expensive but better in quality. For our project, we went to Sushi Tei at Thompson Plaza and had a meal there. We also went to Ichiban Bento at Causeway Point for a meal.
