Ramen, sushi, matcha, and gyoza. These are probably the most well known Japanese foods outside of Japan. There is, however, so much more to Japanese cuisine and food culture that remains overlooked.  Whether you are about to board a plane to Tokyo or you want to expand your knowledge as a Japanese native, this guide will introduce you to a huge range of food and drink essentials by introducing you to their  variety and usage.

Japan is loved for its exquisite food, rich culture, innovative design, and not the least, for its absolute leadership in the realm of stationery. At Misc-store Amsterdam, we have always had a close relationship with Japan. It started with our personal fascination with Japan and it lead to our current range of quality Japanese products at Misc-store Amsterdam.
