Hi Manas! Thank you for reading 🙂 Japanese cuisine is more than sushi and ramen (they are occasional foods) and we usually eat humble meals based on the Ichiju Sansai structure, more or less.

Very helpful post was always curious about Japanese daily meals having seen one of these daily meals in a manga(reiji miyajimas famous “kanojo….”),now i understand what goes behind the daily meals rather than just knowing sushi and ramen,no wonder y’all are so healthy.

Hi Sandra! Thanks for reading and your feedback. Unfortunately, we are not dieticians, so we cannot calculate serving/size amount appropriate for adults. However, I can give you two hints that can guide you in creating a Japanese meal: one is to use Japanese plates and bowls instead of a one-plate meal (please check out Nami’s favorite online store “Musubi Kiln” for all things Japanese cookware and tableware related. You can also find tableware at Daiso (Japanese dollar store)).
While there is no guide on how much food you should plate, the Japanese dislike piling up too much food, hence you can try serving small portions to begin with. Good luck!

Would you ever consider writing a “set guide”, like “here’s some examples of a full meal menu for break fast or lunch or dinner with serving/size amounts” or something? It’d be really handy for beginners that want to learn better food structures and portion sizes. The western diet ends up messing with one’s idea of a good/healthy meal size, so it’s way too easy to just plate up way too much food =.=;

My go to fancy Japanese meal is : sunomono, followed by cold steamed eggplant with a sauce, medium tofu with hot Chile green onion sauce, green bean or spinach gomame and then chawanmushi and finally yakitori chicken and rice !

Thank you! And I’m sure there have been lots of them published…. maybe they are just not labeled that way so they don’t appear in search! Y’all are awesome btw
