Request for list of common Japanese food words - 01-05-2010, 09:43 PM

I'm looking for a list (in some flashcard format preferred, but not required) of the most common 100-250 food words found on menus in Japan. But not in Romanji, I want them in Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana (whichever is commonly used for that word) so I can read them on a menu.

I've looked for such a list here and using google, but to no avail. I've found many lists, but they are in Romanji. Wikipedia has a fairly extensive listing, but the Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana are typically available only by following links and hence it will take a long time to generate a list.

Can anyone one point me to such a list? Or any other suggestions?

[In case you're wondering why, we're probably heading to Japan in a couple of months. I've set myself a modest-but-I-hope-achievable goal to learn Hiragana, Katakana, and about 100 food words before I go. Thanks to other posts here I've found some great Hiragana and Katakana resources, but nothing yet on common food words.]
