List of Japanese dishes

Japan has many simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga.

[citation needed] Bread (the word "pan" (パン) is derived from the Portuguese pão)[5] is not native to Japan and is not considered traditional Japanese food, but since its introduction in the 16th century it has become common.

A base ingredient is simmered in shiru stock flavored with sake, soy sauce, and a small amount of sweetening.

[citation needed] Japanese clawed salamander (ハコネサンショウウオ, Hakone Sanshōuo, Onychodactylus japonicus)) is eaten as well in Hinoemata, Fukushima in early summer.

Japan has incorporated imported food from across the world (mostly from Asia, Europe and to a lesser extent the Americas), and have historically adapted many to make them their own.
