Lol I guessed that.

Ei ei, I know that. I mean....things that americans don't have in every cabnet.

Rice is the main food group in Japan, Miso soup is another common thing you see on a Japanese table.

Vegetables and fruit are side dishes as is different kinds meats but but Meat is not always served.

This is basically what I ate while on my home stay in Japan (Of course they would serve American food (like Hamburger) some nights, but Rice is still on the table ^_^;;

Miso is produced by fermenting rice or Soybean and then boiling it in water. (its really good for you)

Oh yeah I for got Nattou (I'm still getting use to this but I like it more then I did before) Its Fermentide Soybeans that is usually served with breakfast, one of the family's I stayed with they would eat this everyday for every meal ,the First time i tryed this i thought it felt like Slimy snot that tasted like Coffee (though now only the slimy part gets to me sometimes) Its mostly eaten on the rice, but some time they would eat it by its self. Now a days a lot of Japanese Children don't like Nattou. But ya know every body can't like every thing.


Here is a link for more details Nattō - Wikipedia
