Refuel and refresh at Japan's gourmet motoring rest stops
Whoever said it's better to travel than to arrive must have been traveling in Japan. Just ask the folks who hit the road earlier this month for the o-Bon summer holidays.

Now that ramen has taken its place alongside sushi as the world's favorite Japanese food, it's easy to forget what the noodle landscape was like just a couple of decades ago. Back in the 1990s, foreigners knew ramen — if they knew it at all — as cheap fuel for all-night study sessions or as a belly-filler...

Japan says 'aloha' to Hawaiian food
I should have realized that my first trip to Cinnamon's would end in tears. Or, at least, in an uncomfortably long wait.

New book gets to the soul of Japanese home cooking
Like the Denver Broncos, the Nikkei stock index and "Gravity" director Alfonso Cuarón, Japanese food is on a hot streak.

Japan's love for curry means endless variety
It's only a slight exaggeration to say that Japanese curry saved my life.
