Breakfast in Japan

In spite of the fact that asa-gohan means "morning rice," most people in Japan these days -- at least in urban areas -- eat quick western-style breakfasts like eggs, toast, juice and coffee. Those who prefer more traditional foods are likely to have tea and miso soup or, yes, rice. Some season the rice with nori seaweed flakes or mix in a little raw egg for added protein. Umeboshi, pickles made from unripe plums soaked in brine and packed with red shiso leaves (which are responsible for their vivid color and flavor), are popular breakfast accompaniments. They are also used to balance the digestion.
