This is a list of Japanese soups and stews.
Japanese cuisine is the food—ingredients, preparation and way of eating—of Japan.
The phrase ichijū-sansai (一汁三菜, "one soup, three sides") refers to the makeup of a typical meal served, but has roots in classic kaiseki, honzen, and yūsoku [ja] cuisine.
The term is also used to describe the first course served in standard kaiseki cuisine nowadays.
