Japanese Instant Food

Are you the type of person who’s always on the go? Don’t have enough time to make a decent home-cooked meal? Well, fear not because Japan has an array of wonderful and ever-changing instant food to keep you full and comfortable when you eat~

I’ve always been a fan of instant noodles especially the Nissin brand since I was in the Philippines and coming to Japan and discovering its many other flavors gives me joy as I re-live my childhood.

Other instant food that I like include Japanese Sea Chicken or canned tuna which can also be found in my country under a local name. I enjoy making quick pastas with it as well as salads.

I enjoy other treats like instant gyuudon—Japanese beef bowls, which were recently released during the onslaught of the pandemic. These among others make my life a bit easier especially when I feel too lazy or tired to cook.

I believe that Japan’s instant food is also changing for the better and healthier as it offers more natural ingredients and less preservatives especially for onigiri—rice balls, soups, and noodles. I hope that you can try them one day when you visit or if you have always been the hardworking mom, just take a step back and have your family heat some up for you.

I hope you share a lot of comfort food with your families!

One of my favorite instant food is tada~ Instant Omurice!
