Miso soup - very light broth with tofu in it. - starter

Look out on the web for Japanese recipes. You can usually find an Asian market in any big city and many of the groceries now carry some of the ingredients.
Besides the obvious, like chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, there's so much more to Japanese cooking than that and sushi.

Sukiyaki, where thin strips of meat are cooked in wonderful broth with noodles, green onions, tofu, bamboo shoots. Another dish I love is tonkatsu, which is breaded pork or chicken and deep fry it. Tempura, vegetables battered and deep fried along with shrimp or other seafood, like fish and scallop. These are usually main dishes.

Appetizers could include edamamde, soy beans in the pod. They are delicious and nutritious! Cold tofu dipped in soy sauce, bonito flakes, fresh grated ginger and green onions is a fave of mine.The best is gyoza, or potstickers. Wonton skins filled with meat and pan fried or steamed or both. Yakitori are skewered meat (chicken or beef) and grilled. The traditional method and the BEST is on charcoal, but I think they just use the broilers, now. These are some appetizers.
