In this series, I’ll be sharing questions that our customers have asked!

Q. What do Japanese people eat for breakfast?

A. Generally, many people eat miso soup, white rice, grilled fish, natto, raw eggs or tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), and pickled or boiled vegetables.

In our house, my son and daughter often want to eat different things, but it’s too much work to cater to each of them individually. So, our typical breakfast includes miso soup with plenty of vegetables and silken tofu, tamagoyaki, and both bread and white rice. To keep things interesting, I switch up the types of bread and prepare the rice as onigiri with various fillings or as ochazuke. If I have extra time, I also add grilled salmon and fruit to the meal.
