I am currently in Japan and I am curious what foods I have to try before I leave? Like for instance is there anything you can only get in Japan? Thanks for your input!
Takoyaki - octopus dumplings
Okonomiyaki - savoury pancake
Yakitori - charcoal grilled meat skewers
You can try daifuku mochi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daifuku). I think they're traditionally served around New Year but you should be able to find some. Be careful to take small bites as it is easy to choke on it.
だんご
団子
Dango - a japanese dessert usually coated with a soy sauce sugar glaze. It comes in skewers.
Sometimes it can be a savoury dish, just coated with soy sauce.
when ur in osaka, if u dare, go try some fugu...
