I guess they've had a Japanese breakfast by now. I was wondering what that was. I picked this up on Quora from an exchange student. It sounds pretty varied and interesting.
A traditional Japanese breakfast is what I had almost everyday for a year. It usually was: rice; pickled daikon and or other pickles; sometimes a raw egg broken on top of the rice; sometimes natto (a brown fermented whole soy bean dish- strange slimy taste); ume boshi (salt pickled sour plum); miso soup; and maybe some leftover fish or chicken from the night before or fresh grilled fish, and nori. Sometimes a small amount of veggies. Hot green tea or coffee. Sometimes the natto has dried bonito shavings (katsuobushi), chopped green onions, spicy mustard (karashi), or sliced dried and seasoned seaweed (kizaminori) on it. Often we dipped the nori in a little soy sauce and using chopsticks wrapped it around a bite of rice.
And then of course there's always MacDonalds...
