🇯🇵 Japanese Food Culture Featured in This Video
• Kōnai Chōmi (口内調味) – A unique Japanese way of eating where rice, miso soup, and side dishes are enjoyed alternately, allowing the flavors to blend together in the mouth.

• Oroshi Grater (おろし器) – A traditional Japanese kitchen tool used to grate daikon radish. Grated daikon is often served with grilled fish and is believed to aid digestion.

• Vegetable Stir-Fry (野菜炒め) – One of the most common home-cooked dishes in Japan. Nearly half of Japanese households prepare it at least once a week.
