Japan is a very food-oriented country. And Japanese cuisine is famous abroad. Even though most foreigners automatically think “sushi” when they think of Japanese food, the universal opinion is that the food is great. Some visitors have maybe tried some sophisticated Kyoto-style menu with dozens of different small bites. But there is also a different side to Japanese food that most foreigners don’t really know of. It’s a much more rustic and savory side which can be best sampled in the food stalls that line the streets during festivals.
