How often do the Japanese order take-away food?

by

 

The Japanese order take-away food often and here I think of those who live in a big city. There are several reasons for this.

Most Japanese work 10-15 hours a day. Of course, there are exceptions depending on the industry you work in. That means the average Japanese does not have time to prepare and cook when they get home.

There are many Japanese who choose to buy take-away food on their way home from work. On almost every street in the major cities, you will find a small eatery. They often specialize in making healthy and tasty take-away dishes that are freshly prepared and ready to take home.

Japanese donburi with tuna

by

In 2013 I made this beautiful fisherman dish which called doburi.

The dish looks very simple but it is certainly not. If you make a dish that is so simple then the sushi rice must be cooked to perfection.
The tuna must be equally large and cut on such that the slices are silky and melt in the mouth. Needless to say, you must handle the cutting techniques used to cut tuna.

I have a dinner deal with a friend this evening. We could get a table at 21:00 p.m. In order for me not to die of hunger before dinner I had some homemade Japanese chips which I brought in Tokyo.

They are made of squid and taste amazing they have a little fish flavor and taste a bit of barbecue. They were bought in Tokyo. Love that Japanese cuisine is so healthy and good.
