I was actually surprised by this. At least in hotels (specially in the traditional "ryokans"), the Japanese breakfast consists of some sort of fish (normally grilled), rice, some small bites (mostly for flavor) of seaweeds and some soup or another. I have no idea what people eat at home, but all in all it's not a terrible way to start your day (once you get over not having a bunch of sweet stuff.)
- jpatokal 9y agoWell, that's the canonical Japanese breakfast, in the same way that a canonical American breakfast is eggs, bacon, baked beans, hash browns, pancakes etc -- but most people scarf down some cereal instead. Rice for breakfast is definitely a thing though, but it's a lot simpler than ryokan fare: in my student days, I often just had last night's leftovers with a cup of miso soup and maybe some pickles. Here's an interesting view of various actual Japanese breakfasts, although I suspect these are also towards the elaborate end of the spectrum: https://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/02/20/whats-really-for-breakfast-japanese-people-tell-us-what-they-usually-eat-each-morning-%E3%80%90photos%E3%80%91/ https://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/02/20/whats-really-for-brea...
- keganunderwood 9y agoThis is interesting. I don't have a routine of what I eat for breakfast. I just improvise every morning (: do people usually eat the same thing every morning?
- mbrameld 9y agoI do for the most part. I always eat oatmeal and plain yogurt, I just add different fruit. I can buy the oatmeal and yogurt in bulk,I don't have to think about breakfast, and the variety of fruits keeps it palatable.
