Eating At Tokyo Olympics

Healthy Home Cooking

Given Japan's world-famous cuisine, there will be plenty of local flavours. The focus will be on informal dishes rather than high-end dining, with ramen and udon noodles among the staples. Always-popular ramen will be offered in two of its most famous broths: soy sauce, and miso. And there is Japanese home cooking, courtesy of locals who entered a competition to have their dishes featured.

But there may be one big disappointment for Japanese food fans: no sushi with raw fish. Safety rules mean rolls will only feature cooked shrimp, canned tuna, cucumber and pickled plum.
