Shabu-shabu, a dish made with thinly sliced beef or pork that is cooked in a hot pot, is a popular Japanese dish that is often served with various dipping sauces.

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.

Japan has a popular game show called "Silent Library" where contestants have to perform challenges in a library without making any noise.
