There’s nothing like eating Japanese food in Japan. Just like in Italy and France, the style of the cuisine changes from region to region. Two fantastic places to find good food in Japan include the world-famous Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo and the kaiseki restaurants in Kyoto.
At the Tsukiji fish market, sushi reins in the top echelons of the local culinary scene. The massive market is home to plenty of sushi professionals, but make sure to arrive early, as most restaurants close at noon.
A kaiseki dinner gives travelers the opportunity to taste the elevated flavors of Japanese cuisine as presented by top-class chefs. Such a dinner can last three hours or more and feature any number of dishes. Kyoto in particular is known for its kaiseki restaurants
