Asa (morning) Gohan (meal) = breakfast


Minoru, my friend's nephew, chows down on a breakfast sandwich across the table from me on my first morning in Japan.
While this is not the traditional Japanese breakfast of fish, miso, rice, raw egg and fermented beans, it is a typcial breakfast in modern Japan. That day, Minoru's mom served us sausage sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes and mayonnaise; grapefruit; broccoli; yogurt and potatoes. We drank both coffee and tea.
