Eating Japanese food is definitely an experience due to the wide variety of cooking styles you're sure to encounter. From Shabu-shabu which involves swishing beef in boiling water until it's cooked, to Kaiseki Ryori, one of Japan's more exotic culinary wonders, not to mention sushi, sashimi, sukiyaki, and tempura, Japanese cuisine is rich, diverse, and intriguing. If a trip to this expensive Asian archipelago is beyond your budget, you'll find it's easier than it seems to prepare sumptuous Japanese dishes in your very own home.

1. Tipping is practically non-existent in Japan. Gratitude is often shown through gift giving.
2. In bars, customers often pour drinks for each other from bottles of beer as a gesture of companionship.
3. Most restaurants specialize in one type of cuisine, and many allow patrons to cook at their tables.
