One of the pleasures of traveling in Japan is enjoying seafood cuisine. Japan, being an island nation surrounded by the sea, is abundant in fresh seafood. In Japanese cuisine, seafood is prepared in a variety of ways, including sashimi and sushi, which are enjoyed raw, as well as being boiled, grilled, or steamed. Let's indulge in seasonal seafood dishes in Osaka, a city once known as the 'kitchen of the nation.'
