35 Delicious Japanese Recipes

Traditional Japanese cuisine makes use of nature's bounty to showcase simple flavors with gorgeous, almost artistic presentations. However, the foods of Japan are more diverse than you may think. As Japan opened itself up to foregin influences, cooks started incorporating international ingredients and techniques into their cuisine. As a result, contemporary Japanese cooking features everything from ancient rice and fish dishes to unique takes on European-style pastries and even a delicious interpretation of curry. These recipes (from traditional to innovative) reflect the Japanese approach to food and cooking.
