You have to cultivate a love for Japanese food. There are generally two type of preparations. The raw and the steamed version and the fried type. Raw fish will fall into the first category with vinegar glutinous rice. Fresh raw salmon in thin slices will be placed on vinegar rice and consumed together. You eat them with horseradish called wasabee. Fried stuff is called teriyaki. Food fried in special thick Japanese flavored sauce. They also fry fresh vegetable with flour to add to the repertoire of teriyaki servings. Do you like Japanese food? I do I go to Japanese restaurant occasionally to eat the sweet eels called unagi and to drink the miso soup. Do you like to go to a Japanese e restaurant? It is not really expensive. You can go to a buffet restaurant and chose what you want to eat.

I love to go to japanese restaurants. I love having the salad with ginger dressing, misu soup, hibachi chicken with rice and zuchini. I love the ones where they cook it in front of you too. I do not care for sushi at all.

I love raw salmon with wasabe...it is excellent.
This is one thing that I myself ponder on. I do
not like to eat fish much due to the bone, I guess.
And the taste and smell of it. But this Japanese
raw fish is great especially with wasabe..that went
straight to the nose!
I normally will frequent Sushi King, some hotel
which offer Japanese buffet spread and at times
I will visit Shogun Japanese buffet - great place
for wide variety of Japanese spread :)
Cheers!

I must admit the first time tried Japanese food was on NW flight Narita-ILL.
Stewardess asked me "would you like Japanese or western?" (for dinner)
I said "western". but she gave me a cold Japanese tray with sushi, sashimi and salad and sticky rice. That was 1995. I had stomach problems then ...
I guess Japanese foods 101 would be the soups and fried seafoods/meat ?
more than 10 years later, I have acquired an appetite for raw fish and wasabee. I think it's category is one of the healthiest on the planet :)
Cheers
