From Sapporo miso ramen to Naha goya champuru — learn the food, the words, and the why.

Regional food is the fastest way into real Japanese culture — and the vocabulary sticks because you can taste it.

By the end

You will be able to name, describe, and order a regional dish from each of Japan's eight regions, and explain what makes it local in plain Japanese.

Who this is for

JLPT N4 learners who love food and want to talk about it in Japanese, whether they are flying to Japan next month or cooking from a kitchen abroad.
