  1. Hiroshima. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki packs a punch with its enticing mix of noodles, meat, seafood, cabbages and other vegetables.
  2. Yamaguchi. Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi supplies 80% of Japan’s fugu, which can be savoured via sushi or in a hot pot.
  3. Fukuoka. To savour tender roasted pork slices seasoned with rich pork-based broth and thick noodles, you must visit Fukuoka!
  4. Kagawa. A visit to Kagawa is incomplete without tucking into sanuki udon noodles which delight your taste buds with their firm, chewy texture.
  5. Shizuoka. It is well-known for its sweet and savoury unagi which heightens your dining experience with its multi-dimensional flavours.
  6. Osaka. Takoyaki is said to have hailed from Osaka, so it’s a fun experience relishing how the chewy octopus balls melt so tantalisingly in your mouth.
  7. Hiroshima. For big, juicy oysters, you simply must visit Miyajima. Enjoy them fried or grilled!

OK, I will give you that, but Shizuoka has some very good natto, tea and mikan. I can fondly remember my first taste of natto. I was sitting at a long bench style table with the high school judobu, when one of the guys served me rice with natto on it and showed me how to stir in the shoyu and raw egg. After mixing everything together, I got ready to take in a mouthful. All up and down the bench, every kid there moved into a position to see the gaijin’s reaction to his first taste of natto. I hugely surprised them by loving it. Now, far from Shizuoka, I ferment my own natto, when I want it.
