My Favorite Japanese Food!

I discovered Japanese food because of anime. When I was a kid I wonder how delicious is ramen. I first saw it from the anime Naruto. When I was in high school, I discovered sushi, until I have favorites! As a person, I really love exploring food especially Asian cuisine because it is close to Filipino cuisine. In this way, I can also experience the culture and traditions of other races. **Thank you, Sponsors!** In this article, I will be mentioning my top five favorite Japanese food. Well, it depends on my mood haha! But most of the time they are my top five. **1) Ramen**

This is one of my favorite broth-based soups in Japan. I really like the belly cut of pork for my ramen. I would like my noodles to be not too soft and not too firm, I just want mine in the middle. My egg should be a little runny. I do not like the dry one. Then, I like garnishes like a bean sprout, green onion, and sesame seed. Corn is not really my thing when it comes to ramen. Then I have soda on my side, yum! **2) Takoyaki**

The last time I ate this is when I was with my ex-boyfriend 3 years ago. There is this shop that specializes in takoyaki. I like my takoyaki to be hard on the outside and then when you bite it, the hot soft inside will touch your mouth. I like a lot of bonito flakes and Japanese mayo on top. I can eat 6 medium-sized takoyaki in one sitting. **3) Gyoza**

It is basically a Japanese dumpling. I like mine toasted than steamed. The crunchy roasted wrap is so delicious when dipped in soy sauce with ginger. When I go to a Japanese restaurant, this item will never be left out of the order. It is more of a side dish, but can also be the main dish. It is a simple dish but delicious. I can eat about six pieces in one sitting. **4) Tonkatsu**

Tonkatsu is a breaded pork fillet and then deep-fried it. My kind of tonkatsu goes with rice rather than noodles. I will have shaved cabbage and miso soup on the side to complement the meat. This is what I order when I dine in on Yabu, a Japanese restaurant. It is a restaurant that serves unlimited cabbage and fruit like pineapple and watermelon. I often at least have 3 servings before I am full. I would have a soda or milk tea on the side. **5) Onigiri**

I really like this food from Japan because it is easy to make and you can bring it when you are on the go. Someone gave me a 7/11 onigiri from Japan. It is an onigiri with tuna filling. It is delicious. Sometimes I make my own onigiri. My ingredients are seaweed, sesame oil, salt, Japanese mayo, and the choice of filling usually tuna. I just put the filling inside the rice that is mixed with sesame oil and mayo, and then shape it like a triangle. Wrap it in a seaweed sheet and you are done! You can bring it to your work or just eat it for a snack. ****Final Thoughts**** I truly love Japanese food but nothing comes close to Filipino food! It will always be my favorite. But experiencing some other culture is necessary for me to grow as a person. I love exploring and discovering new things. I believe that a person is not meant to stick to one path of life. There is so much to live! **Life is short, go out and be adventurous!** Thank you for reading my article. Peace- Jijisaur. *Lead image edited on Canva* ****Opensea/Twitter/Noise.cash: @Jijisaur****
