Among all the options, omurice is my favorite because of its unique, nostalgic taste. Whenever the mood strikes, I head to Seika, a Chinese restaurant serving up tasty yoshoku and Chinese dishes in Yokosuka City.

My wife and I recently spent the day exploring Yokohama. If you’re stationed in the Kanto Plain area, it’s not a far drive or train ride.

Just a few minutes away from Yokota Air Base’s main gate, a hole in the wall is serving up quick, no-frills lunches perfect for when you’re on the go.

If you’re traveling to Japan with your entire family - particularly with little ones in tow - you may be wondering about quick, relatively inexpensive places to eat that cater to the whole crew.

In the center of Tokyo, Roppongi and neighboring Nishi-Azabu are home to skyscrapers, embassies and many fancy shops, bars and restaurants. In the busy and flashy district, cheap eats are usually hard to find.

Growing up, subuta, a sweet and sour pork dish, was not my favorite.

If you’re on a budget and looking for a delicious meal that is both filling and won’t break the bank, Nangokutei, a chain restaurant with a location near Yokosuka Naval Base, is a great place to go.

In China, there’s a saying: “There’s no problem a good hot pot can’t fix. And if there is—have another one!”

Chao fan (Chinese fried rice) is loved around the world. Commonly called “chahan” or “chaahan”, this Chinese food has many fans in Japan as well.

Seeking a familiar flavor of my time years ago in Tokyo, I visited Chinmaya Izumizaki Icchoume-ten in Naha for spicy mapo tofu over rice.
