Breakfast

You may find that the breakfast in Japan are very different from what you are accustomed to in your own country. There are various breakfast selections. A word of causion: only one cup of coffee is served. It is usually brewed by the cup and is strong. If you order an additional cup, you will be charged.

  1. A morning (Moningu) is a Japanese breakfast set usually with toast, coffee (around 500 yen). It is usually served at a Kissaten (coffee shop).
  2. Japanese breakfasts typically include fish, rice, miso soup (a tasty fermented soybean soup), Japanesepickles (tsuke-mono), nori (dried seaweed) and often a raw egg to be mixed with the rice. They are usually the only breakfasts served in ryokans and minshukus. Breakfast times are posted or provided by your host. (Breakfast is included in the room charge.)
  3. Western breakfasts are usually available in hotels. The deluxe hotels often have a large breakfast selection, with a menu in English. Prices vary from hotel to hotel.
