Teishoku - a set meal

Set meals are very common, especially at lunchtime, and almost every restaurant offers them. Rice, pickles, soup, and a main dish of fish, seafood, vegetables, or meat are usually included in a set meal. Teishoku dining is a great introduction to everyday Japanese food because it offers a lot of food for a low price.

Kaiseki, a traditional Japanese tasting menu, is available at some of the better restaurants. Kaiseki is regarded as an art form, requiring a careful balance of taste, texture, appearance, and color, as well as the use of only fresh seasonal ingredients. Expect opulent presentation and above-average prices.

Moreover, Teishoku is a term used to describe a variety of food items. Grilled items, deep fried items, broiled items, noodle-centric items, and Chinese dishes are the most common types of Teishoku. Meat, such as beef or chicken, is commonly grilled. Meat, often pork, fish, and vegetables are all deep fried. Salmon broiled in soy sauce is an example of a broiled item. Udon and Ramen are two common noodle dishes that can be ordered as Teishoku. Finally, dumplings, also known as Gyoza in Japan, are a good example of a Chinese item.
