Japanese food culture is famous for its variety, ranging from washoku—exquisite traditional seasonally-focused Japanese cuisine—to shojin ryori, the vegetarian meals served at Buddhist temples in Japan. If you like to imbibe, try sake—Japanese rice wine. A tour of Japanese dining offers glimpses of Japan's climate, aesthetics and even religious values.
