Japanese Breakfast Culture: Rice and Small Side Dishes

Japanese breakfast is characterized by a combination of white rice as the main dish, served with small portions of miso soup, nori seaweed, pickles, furikake, kombu, and other side dishes.

Each item is simple on its own, but when warm rice, fragrant miso soup, and savory side dishes with saltiness and umami come together, they gently help prepare the body for the day ahead.

With this lineup, you can easily prepare a staple dish using packaged rice or germinated brown rice. By adding instant miso soup, nori, wasabi, Fujicco kombu, furikake, pickles, and more, you can enjoy a homestyle Japanese breakfast with ease.

Even on busy mornings, being able to prepare “rice, soup, and small side dishes” in a short time is one of the charms of Japanese breakfast culture.
