Tonkatsu, a dish made with breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet, is a popular Japanese dish that is often served with rice and a side of shredded cabbage.

Japan has a tradition of wrapping gifts in cloth called furoshiki, which can be reused and is more environmentally friendly.

The Japanese are known for their love of vending machines, which can be found on nearly every street corner and sell everything from snacks to underwear.
