Traditional Sweet Dishes
Mochi
Mochi is made by pounding glutinous rice until it becomes a smooth, elastic mass, and the communal mochitsuki ceremony at New Year brings neighbors together to pound and shape it.
Wagashi
Wagashi are delicate confections crafted to reflect the season, their designs often mimic flowers, leaves and landscapes to complement tea ceremonies and moments of mindfulness.
Dorayaki
Dorayaki pairs two fluffy pancakes with sweet red bean paste, and its name 'dora' means gong after a legend that batter was once cooked on a discarded gong.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Sushi
Sushi began as a method to preserve fish in fermented rice, and the hand-pressed nigiri style was invented in Edo in the early 19th century as fast street food.
Ramen
Ramen arrived from China and evolved into dozens of regional broths and noodle styles, and slurping loudly is both polite and helps bring the aroma to your nose.
Okonomiyaki
Okonomiyaki literally means 'grill what you like', it is a customizable savory pancake that people often cook together on communal griddles in Osaka and Hiroshima.
Traditional Beverages
Green tea
Green tea, especially powdered matcha used in tea ceremonies, contains L-theanine and caffeine that together promote calm alertness, and it became central to Zen practices.
Sake
Sake is brewed with koji mold that converts rice starch into sugar, and it has been used in Shinto rituals for centuries as a sacred offering and celebratory drink.
Shochu
Shochu is a distilled spirit often around 25 percent alcohol by volume, and it can be made from ingredients like sweet potato, barley or rice giving each region a distinctive flavor.

Weather flips fast, one day bright and warm, next day raining. Layers and quick-dry clothes made a huge difference for me.
Kyoto's temples at dawn feel magical, avoid midafternoon crowds. Ryokans are charming but book months ahead if you want budget options.
Grab a Suica or Pasmo at the airport, tap on trains and buses, it even works at konbini. Saves time and stops you fumbling for coins.
I loved the food, sushi every day felt worth it. Trains get packed on weekends though, plan mornings for markets and quieter strolls.
Tokyo exceeded expectations, trains are spotless and punctual, street food is unreal, but expect crowds and tiny hotel rooms.
