Japanese people’s daily eating habits are also three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
If calculated in terms of caloric energy, breakfast accounts for about 40%, lunch 20%, and dinner 40%.
There are differences between Japanese and Western breakfasts. The traditional Japanese breakfast includes miso soup (Miso juice みそしる), rice (ごrice はん), grilled fish (焼やき鱼ざかな) and pickles (pickles つけもの).
Western-style breakfast consists of bread (パン), milk (milkぎゅうにゅう), eggs (EGたまご), etc.
Of course, there are also some people who skip breakfast because they cannot get up early and other reasons.
??Most Japanese lunches are relatively simple, because unlike China, most workplaces do not have a lunch break at noon, and only have one hour or less for lunch.
Therefore, Japanese lunches are mostly fast food that can be eaten in a short time, such as ramen (ラーメン), curry rice (カレーライス), donburi (丼どん), box lunch (Bento べんとう), etc.
You can either make your own lunch boxes or buy them in supermarkets and other places.
Dinner after work is relatively rich. In addition to the usual lunch options, you can also go to a restaurant for a delicious meal or go home and cook it yourself.
Of course, many single people are still used to eating simple meals out.
Sometimes there will be a "second meeting", that is, after eating, you will change to another restaurant to continue drinking or having fun.
Daily meals, such as the ramen, curry rice, rice bowls, lunch boxes, etc. mentioned above, mostly cost a few hundred yen to around 1,000 yen to fill your stomach.
Of course, you can also go to restaurants in department stores or underground shopping malls, where you can eat delicious food for 1,000-2,000 yen.
These restaurants generally do not require tips or service charges, and when ordering, you can refer to the plastic samples displayed at the entrance of the restaurant, which is convenient and quick.
But if you want to eat at a high-end restaurant or a restaurant in a hotel, a dinner usually costs more than 3,000 yen.
Moreover, in addition to the 5% tip tax, these restaurants also need to pay an additional 10%-15% service fee. The overall cost is relatively high.
