7 things to eat in Japan

Tempura

In the 16th century, Portuguese Jesuit missionaries landed in Nagasaki and introduced Japan to the life-changing art of frying food. The Japanese made it their own by taking seafood or vegetables and dipping it into a light batter before deep-frying it to perfection. This oishii, or delicious snack, is great to pair with rice, noodles, or a barbecue.
