① Curry
Curry is a well-known Japanese national dish. Everyone, young and old, male and female, loves curry rice. We recommend CoCoichi chain restaurants for your first try.
② Tendon
Tempura is gradually becoming famous worldwide, but local people eat Tendon more often. Crispy tempura with sauce is really excellent. At first, I recommend a chain restaurant called Tenya, which is inexpensive and delicious.
③ Udon noodles
There are many noodle dishes in Japan, but my personal favorite is udon. The chewy noodles and the soup with dashi broth are superb! Cold udon is also delicious. I recommend Marugame Seimen, a chain restaurant, for a good start.

Everyone loves beef bowl. It is cheap, fast, and tasty. There is a beef bowl restaurant at every station. We recommend a chain restaurant called Suki-ya for starters.

Whenever something makes them happy, Japanese people go to yakiniku. It is recommended because you can eat various parts of meat! I recommend the chain restaurant Gyukaku.
