Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day in Japan, and it is often a time for families to come together and share a meal. Traditional Japanese breakfast dishes include rice, miso soup, natto (fermented soybean dish), grilled fish, sweet rolled omelet (tamagoyaki), yogurt and fruit, green tea, as well as Western-style items like bread and jam. These dishes are healthy, flavorful, and provide essential nutrients to start the day off right.
