1st day in japan

So I just stepped out the airplane and to find the weather is the same as in Georgia.I feel as I'm in the middle of nowhere.Japan is cool looking and I think that the Japanese people just said hey.I right of the back said I need a translator.Now it's about 2:30p.m. and I'm getting hungry so i tell my translator"we need to go to a restaurant asap".On the way to the restaurant we pass a farm and to see that farmers are gathering the rice.So we finally get to the place called Yakitori-ya.this type of restaurant serves grilled chicken skewers.We rented a hotel in Japan and the people here are really nice even though half the time.The hotel service is really good,Room Service Is Really good we order sushii and orange chicken and some Coke, We thought That the coke Will taste different but it didn't it still had the same taste even though we was all the way across the country.So we told the translator that we wanted to go shopping,so he took us to a mall called Glassarea,the mall there is very similar to the malls back home.We spend all day at the mall looking throught different things.
Japanese People Have A Very Unique Cooking Methods There are abundant opportunities for creativity in Japanese cooking. There is great joy in tasting something for the first time and a concentration of skills in producing an original dish or garnish.Tempura or Tendon: In 1550, batter-dipped and fried shrimp was introduced to the Japanese by Portuguese traders. The Portuguese did not eat meat on Catholic Ember Days (four times annually); these days came to be known as Quatuor Tempora and the fried shrimp that became the specialty was called Tempura. Tempura now refers to the Japanese cooking method of coating cleaned cut or sliced foods in a light batter and frying quickly in a light vegetable oil. Tendon refers specifically to fried crustaceans. These foods so prepared are served with a base of rice or noodles, accompanied by sauces for dipping.
Japanese mealtimes match pretty closely with U.S. mealtimes. Breakfast is typically early in the morning, say between 6 and 7 am, because most Japanese have long commutes to work, or start school early.
Lunch is typically 12-1. In offices, many people bring lunch or buy take-out lunch and eat the office. (Long office lunches are rare.)
Dinner is somewhere in the 6-8pm range, depending on schedules.Like everywhere, these can vary widely based on family schedules.
Back Home When You Go To A Japanese Restaurant Your Common Food Choices Are Sushii & Many Different Chicken But Now That We Have Come To Japan You Can See That Is So Different , An Example Is That They Eat On The Floor, They Eat With Their Hands Or ChopSticks Its Just So Different.
Japanese New Year's food is called osechi-ryori, and colorful dishes are packed in layers of lacquer boxes, called jubako. The kinds of osechi dishes prepared at Japanese homes vary from region to region. Common dishes are kobumaki , kurikinton (mashed sweet potato with sweet chestnuts), tazukuri (candied dried sardines), and so on. Gobo (burdock), renkon (lotus roots), shrimps are often used ingredients. Also, various zoni (mochi rice cake soup) are commonly eaten during the holiday.
