This is a list of notable Japanese restaurants. Japanese cuisine is the food—ingredients, preparation and way of eating—of Japan. The traditional food of Japan is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes, each in its own utensil, with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. The side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Fish is common in the traditional cuisine. It is often grilled, but it may also be served raw as sashimi or in sushi. Apart from rice, staples include noodles, such as soba and udon. Japan has many simmered dishes such as fish products in broth called oden, or beef in sukiyaki and nikujaga.

Types of Japanese restaurants include:

  • Conveyor belt sushi – a sushi restaurant where the plates with the sushi are placed on a rotating conveyor belt or moat that winds through the restaurant and moves past every table and counter seat
  • Izakaya – an informal Japanese gastropub
  • Robatayaki – a method of cooking, similar to barbecue, in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal
  • Ryōtei – a type of luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant. Traditionally they only accept new customers by referral and feature entertainment by geishas, but in modern times this is not always the case
  • Teppanyaki – a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food
