Ready to Eat Food at a Japanese Supermarket

Today we are at a supermarket that sells ready to eat Japanese food

There is alot of choice and it's cheaper than buying from a restaurant

Lets pick out some food

We have picked out 10 ready to eat foods

A healthy side dish with soy beans, lotus root, seaweed, tofu puffs and carrots

It is sweet and crunchy and would go well with rice

Comes with a plastic grass piece that you cannot eat

The ingredients are packed separately to prevent soggy rice

Steamed rice topped with thinly sliced beef and a poached egg

Tender beef and onions in a sweet sauce along with a perfectly cooked egg

Tamagoyaki, a Japanese folded omelet

A pretty and sweet tasting egg

A plastic inedible leaf

Comes with some sour pickled vegetables

A crunchy baby corn

Sweet potato, this was sweet and yummy

Red pepper

The chicken is fried and coated in a sweet and spicy sauce

Reminds me of the sweet and sour Chinese meat dishes

The bonito seasoning on the rice which gives it its Japanese flavor

Overall a pretty bento box with sweet chunky chicken

Long imitation crabstick grilled with teriyaki sauce and mayo

The longest crabstick you have ever seen

It is sweet and creamy also very stretchy

I am surprise that it is much more softer than regular supermarket ones

Boiled shrimps that is all peeled for you

All ready to be eaten

They are fresh and sweet

They do still have their tail shells

Octopus balls with bonito flakes, takoyaki sauce and mayo

They are pretty generous with the bonito flakes

Not bad! They are soft and fluffy inside

Each ball comes with a piece of octopus inside

Matcha flavored soba noodle with tempura bits, seaweed and spring onions

The soba sauce is hidden at the bottom

A noodle that is meant to be eaten cold

A very refreshing noodle dish with light matcha flavor

Though meant to be eaten cold, you should eat it fast or the tempura bits get soggy

Now for the sashimi selections

These are pretty pricey compared to what we have bought so far

Thick slices of salmon belly

Soy sauce and wasabi is included

Salmon belly is more fatty than regular salmon sashimi

It is is very fresh and melts in the mouth

Expensive but delicious

Sliced boiled octopus

Also comes with soy sauce and wasabi

Fresh and sweet. It is chewy and crunchy at the same time

Alien looking but tasty

I feel this makes a very good low fat high protein snack

The most expensive food item today

This fish has a pointed bill that looks like a sword thus the name

Comes with the regular soy sauce and wasabi

A delicious oily and fatty fish with a unique crunch to it
