Everybody, what comes to your mind when you hear Japanese cuisine? Sushi? Ramen?
In addition to these popular Japanese foods, what I like to strongly recommend is the Japanese set meal.

The Japanese set meal　is one of the Japanese cuisine culture. It has become a menu set with white rice and miso soup combined, centered on fried food and baked food.

The set meal of Chicken Nanban

Choose based on the side dish that you like! Many kinds of menus for the set meal

The set meal of Menchikatsu

There are many kinds of the set meal, and the names are related to main dishes such as the set meal of hamburger, the set meal of fried chicken, and the set meal of fried pork. Therefore, you can choose based on the side dish that you like. Also, you can enjoy the ordinary Japanese cuisine since there are many menus featuring Japanese home cooking such as boiled meat and potatoes and stir fried vegetables.

The set meal of deep fried chicken

More surprisingly, you can have the set meal menu for between 500yen and 1000yen! There are many restaurants which allow unlimited refills for white rice and miso soup, so you can eat as much as you can hold without being worried about the extra charge.

The way that food is displayed means something? The rule of serving the set meal

The set meal contains sufficient nutrients in balance due to being able to take in meat and vegetables at a time. The key to nutritional balance is the combination of a bowl of soup and three side dishes. The way how these side dishes are displayed has been determined by a Japanese manner.

First, place chopsticks in the front with the end of chopsticks pointing to the left. This is for not showing the end of chopsticks that have contact with the mouth. This is a Japanese custom out of courtesy.

Next, place a rice bowl in the front left. This is because holding a rice bowl on the left hand is considered to be a courtesy. A soup bowl is put in the right front because people in Japan hold a soup bowl often second to a rice bowl. Main dishes are placed inside right or in the center. And small dishes like pickled dishes and salad are put in the center or inside. You may want to visit restaurants to confirm how dishes are displayed in most of restaurants. But, you don’t have to care much about how you hold and eat as it’s not been regulated. Help yourself as you like without being concerned about others. ※People in Japan usually hold a dish when having a meal.

There are many chain stores featuring the set meal. Some people may know because some stores are expanding their businesses abroad. Please stop by when you’re not sure what to eat because they have various menus and you can dine there casually. You can enjoy the real Japanese home cooking in a simple way!

说到日本食物，大家首先浮现脑海是是什么呢？寿司？拉面？
在这里想到推荐的是有名的日本食物「套餐」。

「定食」是日本饮食文化形式的一种，油炸或烤肉等作为主菜，白饭或小碟菜，味囎汤等作为辅菜的一套菜单。在欧美国家一般被称为套餐。

南蛮炸鸡块套餐

可以选择想要吃的菜！品种丰富的套餐菜单

炸肉饼套餐

套餐的品种有很多，主要的菜名有，如“汉堡套餐”，“炸猪排套餐”，“炸鸡套餐”等，你可以从你想吃的配菜中选择。如土豆炖肉和炒蔬菜等，日本家庭料理的菜单种类都很丰富，您可以享受到“一般日本家庭的料理”。

鸡块唐扬炸套餐

令人吃惊的是，这些套餐大部分都是500日元～1000日元之间就可以吃到了。也有一些店可以免费加白饭和味囎汤的，推荐去不用担心价格就可以吃得饱饱的店。

摆放方式有什么特别的意义吗？套餐服务规则

套餐，可以吃到肉或蔬菜，味囎汤等之类的，营养非常的均衡。营养均衡的关键是被称为“一汤三菜”，汤1种和小菜3样（主菜1样+小菜2样）的结合。而在日本的方式有规定如何配置1汤3菜。

首先，筷子放至前面，筷子头朝左侧，右手侧放拿筷子的位置。这一点，为了不让他人看见筷子接触嘴，这是日本特有的礼仪。

然后饭碗放置左手前。基本上都是用左手拿碗，这也是一种礼节。味囎汤，放置右手前侧。这是因为除了饭碗外，这是拿的次数最多的。主菜将被放置在中间或右后侧。接下来，小碗的泡菜和沙拉应放置在中间或后面。大多数的饭店，都是按照这种方式摆放的，请到店里确认。但是，吃的方式，拿碗的方式等的规则并没有那么严格。不用担心太多，请按照自己喜欢的方式用餐。

在日本连锁店类型的套餐店有很多。其中有一些店，同时也在海外开设了分店，您也许知道。菜单也非常的丰富，一个人也很容易进店的轻松的氛围，来了日本，不知道该吃什么的时候，请一定进来尝尝。可轻松享用正宗的日式家常菜。
