Question

I also want to know what japanese desserts are good.

Answer 1

You can try to order some traditional dish

KOMOCHI KONBU - pickled herring roe with seaweed
TSUKIMI TORORO - Japanese yam paste
TUNA YAMAKAKE - raw tuna with grated yam
SPINACH GOMA AE - boiled spinach marinated in sesame
OHITASHI - boiled spinach marinated in dashi
SHISHAMO - grilled small fish with roe
MAITAKE SHIOYAKI - grilled maitake mushroom
MOZUKU - marinated tiny strands of seaweed
UZAKU - barbecued eel on cucumber salad
CHAWANMUSHI - light egg custard
TAKIAWASE - assortment of cooked vegetable
YU TOFU - creamy tofu warmed in a wooden chest
KAKIAGE - croquette of shrimps and onion in tempura batter
BURI KAMA SHIOYAKI - grilled fatty yellowtail
TAI KABUTO NI - head of Japanese snapper
UME OCHAZUKE - Ume and rice in green tea
UME ONIGIRI - Rice ball fill with ume
TOKOYAKI - fried or baked octopus ball
Okonomiyaki - pan fried batter cake with various ingredients

Or you can just order OMAKASE, tell the chef how much you willing to spent and have him work his wounder.

As for dessert here are some Japanese Dessert item

Andoughnut - anko filling doughnut
Anko -sweet azuki beans
Anman - steamed cake)
Anmitsu - kanten jello and sweet azuki beans
Anpan - anko filling bread
Azuki Shiratama - dumplings and sweet azuki bean
Daigakuimo - sugared sweet potato
Daifuku - small round mochi stuffed with anko
Dorayaki - two small pancake-like patties stuffed with anko
Kasutera - sponge cake
Kushi-dango - dumpling
Manju - steamed cake
Ohagi - sweet rice cake
Purin - pudding
Taiyaki - fish shaped cake
Tokoroten - gelidium jelly

as you can see most of which are not what you normolly consider as desserts. IT is because there is no such thing as dessert in Japan, the so call "dessert" = sweet food = snack. Japanese people "dessert" as snack item which include ice-cream, not after the meal.

Answer 2

Soba noodles are good. Also, Nasu (japanese eggplant grilled) or Unagi DOnburi (BBQ grilled Eel over rice) Bento boxes give you a chance to taste several items. Tempora and terriaki are very popular also.

There are alot of things besides sushi, you just have to choose a place that makes more then sushi. Buni or Sushi house you will have a harder time finding other items. Be sure your restaurant has "cuisine or grill" in the name.

Answer 3

Tonkatsu - breaded fried cutlets
Curry
Udon - Thick noodles (usually in a soup)
Donbori - Rice Bowls with different toppings
Sukiyaki - usually served tableside on a burner - sort of like a light beef stew
Shabu Shabu - great for a group... A hot pot meal where you add stuff to a pot in the center and eat from the communal pot.
Tempura - battered fried seafood and veggies

Desserts... Generally the green tea ice cream

Lots of stuff... If you like your restaurant, then their entire menu should be good.

Answer 4

in Japan is served such a wide variety of foods, some quite different than what I see in my neck of the USA, but some quite familiar. Most Japanese restaurants serve food meant to appeal to Americans, but every now and then...

Best idea is "Throw yourself on the mercy of the chef". Chef's choice is very Japanese, but reminds me strongly of some small diners where I grew up that served "Today's Special".

Desserts? Mochi! (dough wrapped ice cream, try it!)

Answer 5

Sashimi, Tempura and Udon Ramen. Yummy!

Answer 6

Japanese desserts:
Mochi Ice cream
Green Tea Ice cream
Red bean

A lot more, you can find it from Asian Market

Beside sushi you can order sashimi, sukiyaki, yakisoba, sarusoba (for summer) or teriyaki.

Answer 7

sukiyaki, tempura, the various don (rice bowls), udon and soba dishes . . .

for desserts, well, the typical Japanese restaurants here serve only ice cream. they usually have green tea, red bean, sesame and ginger flavours. i recommend the green tea and sesame ;) you can also try the fried ice cream

Answer 8

My favorites are: Beef Donburi, Chicken or beef Yakisoba, Fried Cheeserolls, and I love Yakiniku dipping sauce.

Answer 9

you can order tempura, or the hibachi shrimp and chicken.

Answer 10

I like tempura and hibatchi filet mignon and chicken and here it comes with a hibatchi shrimp appetizer.
