After all, we spend at least half the day in them (albeit asleep!). A hotel and the services they provide really can make or break a trip. Everyone has that classic story of the nightmare hotel that had bedbugs, and stone cold scrambled eggs for breakfast (that later gave your family member food poisoning).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important that the hotels you spend your hard-earned money on are high-quality, clean, comfortable and well located. Somewhere that you\u2019ll look forward to returning to after a long day of sightseeing, and geisha spotting. As well as that sake fuelled evening of karaoke! It\u2019s also important that it has a yummy breakfast that will fuel you for another day of Japan exploration.<\/p>\n<h2>Hotel inspections in Japan<\/h2>\n<p>On my recent trip to Japan I stayed in no less than 11 different hotels of varying degrees of style and grade. They ranged from tiny Japanese <em>ryokan <\/em>(traditional inns), to budget hostels, and luxury big name chains. As with most hotels in Japan, they were all very clean with great customer service. There was one funny thing I couldn\u2019t help but notice that they had in common though &#8211; a very wide (sometimes bizarre) range of breakfast options.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my top 5 unexpected items you will most likely find in a hotel breakfast buffet in Japan:<\/p>\n<h2>1) Soup<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17757 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Soup at t breakfast buffet in Japan\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-564x423.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Soup-510x383.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is more commonly found in Western-style hotels. <em>Ryokan<\/em>\u00a0almost always serve a very traditional Japanese breakfast featuring fish, rice and, of course, miso soup.<\/p>\n<p>Miso soup I can forgive as it\u2019s light and refreshing, perfect for the start of the day. However in some hotels I was faced with corn, mushroom and pumpkin flavoured soupy delights. For a meal that inspires images of cosy, winter evenings this was the last thing I needed on a hot summer&#8217;s day in Japan.<\/p>\n<h2>2) Fried food<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17758 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Fried food for breakfast at a hotel in Japan\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-564x423.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Fried-food-510x383.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No not fried eggs\u2026 not at all.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently 9am is the ideal time for chicken nuggets and chips as these featured heavily in most breakfast buffets. Other fried culprits included fried fish, fried chicken and even fried balls of cheese! Perhaps a good idea if you need the energy to climb Mount Fuji, but maybe a heavy breakfast choice for most people?<\/p>\n<h2>3) Salad<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17755 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Salad bar at a hotel breakfast in Japan\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-564x423.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Salad-bar-510x383.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A nice contrast to the deep-fried options, a healthy salad if ideal if you\u2019re looking to start the day off with something light and refreshing. I saw many a salad bar in the hotels I stayed in, featuring all the usual items &#8211; salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and of course potato salad which seems to be a firm favourite. Eating light at breakfast also means you\u2019ll be ready to go hard on the conveyor belt sushi plates by lunchtime!<\/p>\n<h2>4) Curry<\/h2>\n<p>Oh curry, I will never understand why curry is considered a breakfast food in Japan but from my own experience having lived there for 3 years, and having Japanese friends, I can assure you that yes, some people just like curry for breakfast. Bear in mind though that this is Japanese-style curry which is slightly sweeter and less spicy than its Indian counterpart\u2026 but still\u2026 curry\u2026 really?<\/p>\n<h2>5) Rice and pickled vegetables<\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17791 size-half-width\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-720x540.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled vegetables at a hotel breakfast buffet in Japan\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-564x423.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pickled-veg-510x383.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Heavily represented in traditional <em>ryokan<\/em> breakfasts, rice is a staple breakfast item for most Japanese families. It is healthy, filling and goes well with your morning curry! You will also find an array of pickled vegetables, known as <em>tsukemono<\/em> to go along with your rice. The most popular items are usually radishes, cucumbers and even sour pickled plums.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you choose to go native and opt for a traditional rice and fish combo, or stick to what you know, we all agree that hotel breakfasts in Japan offer something for everyone.
