    Japanese Specialities

    There are many different ways to enjoy this gastronomic treasure trove. For example, it'd be fun for ramen fans to compare ramen from three different cities: Sapporo, Onomichi, and Hakata. Sapporo ramen features miso broth, Onomichi ramen is made using soy sauce and chicken broth while Hakata Ramen is based on a pork bone broth. The toppings and types of noodles also vary, so although it's the same dish, they all taste unique to one another.

    Alternatively, if you are looking for a Japan-themed entertainment restaurant, you can try a sumo stew diner owned by a former sumo wrestler. Sumo stew, also known as chankonabe, is a staple for sumo wrestlers to help them gain weight and increase their stamina. It’s an interesting way to gain insight into why they are so powerful!
