What do Japanese people eat for breakfast?

Question

Traditionally and currently, what do Japanese people eat for breakfast? I know traditionally, they eat miso soup with rice and raw eggs with natto (sometimes) at the side, but what do they eat now? I read a website that said that it is more Americanized now, but how so?

Arigatou-gozaimasu! ^_^

Answer 6

Winner A's above reply is exact. It's what I ate nearly everyday.

I made "hotto caku" [?] Hot cakes, maple syrup, bacon and eggs on the weekends for my hosts. They enjoyed it, mainly because it cracked them up to see a grown man/father cook a meal for a family-very unusual to them. [Men do not cook at home...]

Answer 7

I just have finished a year living with a Japanese student at a university in the south. For breakfast he mostly ate cold breakfast cereal. Sometimes he would have rice and a fried egg. His mom sent many different Japanese food stuffs, but none were for breakfast. She sent spices and noodles and glazes or sauces for meat.

Answer 8

Even for the rich rice is their main stay and is always

available in any home. Any leftover is ok, a fried egg

is a welcome.

Working people hardly eats any breakfast at home.

Japanese breakfast typically includes the following dishes:

A bowl of rice

Fillet of grilled salted salmon with the skin still intact

A side of pickles (cucumber, radish, and/or eggplant)

One sour plum

A side of Natto, or fermented soy beans
