Eating out with the family is always a treat. Japan has many different types of restaurants, including "family restaurants" that serve various Japanese and non-Japanese food. Also popular are restaurants specializing in traditional Japanese dishes, such as sushi, tempura, and noodles made with buckwheat (soba) or flour (udon), and fast-food restaurants serving hamburgers and fried chicken.
