What Kind Of Rice Do Japanese People Eat

What do Japanese people eat at home?

Usually Japanese people have different things everyday.
But I try to offer some typical image.

My typical weekday:
morning: miso-soup, rice, natto
snack: pudding and herb tea or coffee, it could be cookies or senbei
noon: Spaghetti (Italian tomato sauce or Japanese soy sauce, or salt, olive oil and garlic)
Night: grilled fish, soup, boiled or fried vegetable, and rice
(fish could be meat)

My typical weekends:
morning: hot dog and coffee and fruits (sometimes pancake) or onigiri(rice dumpling) and misosoup
lunch: ramen or soba (noodle)
night: curry & rice and salad, or it could be the same as my weekdays.

Above is all about at-home meal.
I'm stay-at-home-worker and mom, I prepare meals every day 3 times, but sometimes we go out for lunch or dinner.

We like to have spaghetti quite often for lunch and dinner.
Pizza is popular among children and young people.

We like to have fruits like apples, oranges, for snacks.
I think we have more than average Japanese.

Other popular dishes for dinner are nikujaga, tonjiru, sashimi, mabodofu, yakisoba, karaage, gratin, gyoza, nabe, etc.

What do Japanese people eat daily?

A typical Japanese meal consists of rice, soup, a main dish and two or more side dishes. The dishes are served in individual small bowls or on plates and eaten with chopsticks. Soup is served together with all the other dishes rather than as a starter as in Western-style dining. Desserts are sometimes served, but usually just consist of some fruit, which is eaten after the meal. Green Tea is usually drunk throughout the meal, but deer and sake are also enjoyed together with the meal.

The key to the healthy nature of the Japanese diet and the highest life expectancy in the world is a group of Super Foods. These Super Foods consist of Tofu, Miso, Nori (seaweed), natto (fermented soy beans) and green tea.

Do Japanese people ever get sick of rice and fish?

Some people do. Why would you only eat rice and fish though? In Japan, people have much more varied diets than in the West.

There are some people that eat rice with every meal. Just like there are people who eat bread with every meal.

Note that in Japan, also many more varieties of fish are eaten. In most Western countries, people eat, what? Maybe 10 different kinds of fish in their lives, tops: Salmon, trout, tuna, haddock, cod, herring, ...

Basically anything living in the ocean is eaten in Japan, and there's much more than 10 different kinds of fish.

If you spend some time in Japan though, unless you're with some unusual people, you'll see that people eat a huge variety of food from all over the world, and not only that, but within traditional Japanese cooking, there are many different dishes.

I'd say that an 8 year old Japanese kid has eaten a wider variety of food than most adult Westerners have.

Do white people eat rice?

Weird question, but after a min of thinking about it I realized what you mean. I am from the mid west originally and I can tell you that we ate rice maybe once a month and it wasn't the short grain sticky rice, it was always long grain. Or when we would have fried rice from takeout. It wasn't until moving to the Caribbean that I started to eat rice more than potato's. So yes we eat rice, some more than others depending on what region your from.
