In many hot spring resorts in Japan (called as ‘onsen’), you will be able to fine onsen eggs – which basically is boiled eggs.
These onsen eggs are made by dipping the eggs in the very hot onsen water. Most onsen eggs are soft-boiled and the weird part is that most of the time the yolk is harder than the white.

History may have recalled Japan as a healthy nation with low use of fat and oil ever since their early civilization and period. Perhaps, due to their way of life and healthy eating habits that many of Japan’s citizens are enjoying long life.

Pizza – a very well-known meal worldwide, is actually a sheer luxury in Japan. Yes, you heard me right. A luxury in Japan, simply means that it is an expensive menu in Japan which can eventually cost you up to ¥3000 ++ (which is about $30++) for a single large pizza, without any other add-ons.
