2 Tokyo, Japan
There is more to Japanese food than sushi. Japan is famous for grilling fresh ingredients in front of you and this style of cooking with high heat keeps the flavors inside, resulting in a taste that is amazing. Try the street food such as grilled meats and vegetables, and of course if you want sushi, this is the land of sushi.
