I will count down japanese cusisine that are unknown to people from outside of japan.
If you are sick of tipical foods such as ramen,sushi and tempra,you should check this out.
10 ほっけ Hokke fish
Okhotsk atka mackerel - Wikipedia
the picture shows fried hokke which is the most common way we cook and eat.
it is really tasty as it is but also nice with combination of soy sauce and grated radish
where you eat⇒IZAKAYA and Jpanese style restaurant.
9 カツカレー(katsukaree) dip fried pork curry
This is incredible.My favorite as well.
japanese curry is originaly great but even better with dip fried pork.
where you eat⇒Japanse style restaurant,japanese style cafe,curry shop(like go go curry or co co ichi)
８ 揚げ出し豆腐（agedashidoufu） dip fried toufu
my tiypical starter,the best combination of tofu and sweet sauce.
if you go to izakaya,you must order.
where you eat⇒izakaya
７ アサリの酒蒸し（asari no sakamushi) clam boiled with sake.
Venerupis philippinarum - Wikipedia
clam miso soup is also popular here in japan.
you will get hooked on this light flavor.

6 うどん UDON noodle.
UDON is also typical noodle as well as ramen here in Japan.Its sticky taste is absolutely incredible.there are two choices how you order.this picture shows dipping style with cold soup which I recommend.the other one is with warm soup like ramen.
where you eat⇨ Udon shops like Marukane seimen(丸亀製麺) or Hanamaru udon(はなまるうどん)
５ 雪見だいふく Yukimi daihuku
This is one of the best sweets in Japan.vanila flavor icecreem covered by sticky rice.
it is around a dollar you can get in any convenience stores or supermarkets.
by the way,Yukimi means “snow seeing” ,daihuku means “sticky rice”
４ 親子丼 oyako don
Chicken and eggs on rice.very simple but really popular.if you go to local Japanese style restaurant,oyakodon must be there.
the name comes from parents (oya 親) and kids (ko 子) because chicken gives birth to eggs.
Where you eat⇨ Japanese style restaurant
３ お好み焼き (okonomiyaki)
it is often called Japanese pancake but I would say it is quite different.this is made by a lot of random ingredients and flour.also this is the specialty of Osaka or West Japan.
all you have to do is choosing ingredients you like for example seafood,pork,whatever.after that,the restaurant staff will cook it in front of yourself.
where you eat ⇨ okonomiyaki restaurant or teppanyaki izakaya
２ 餃子(gyoza)
Maybe be it is originally from China but it has grown up and still been evolving as a part of Japanese culture.It is hard to explain what it is exactly but you will be stuck in the smell that makes you hungry.must try it.
where you eat ⇨ local izakaya or gyoza restaurant,Chinese restaurant
