The Japanese food pyramid (shown to the left) shows that they have a very well balanced diet. They rank things such as physical activity and water near the top since it's the most important. Grains and vegetables are ranked below them since they are still important, but not more than water or physical activity. Meats and milk are below them due to their importance not being as great as vegetables and grains. Fruit and milk are ranked last since they are not as important as the other areas of food. All of the areas are still needed for a well balanced diet. You should eat all of them every day to maintain a healthy diet.

ReviewI was at King's Cool Kitchen the other day at about 1:30 pm to grab some late lunch. I ordered some of their Japanese food just to try it. I got the Yakisoba Chicken platter, which looked amazing. The platter was mediocre at best though. The noodles were under cooked, the chicken was good, the vegetables were alright, the seasoning was spot on and the service was great. The best part of the dish was the actual chicken or the seasoning in it. Overall, I would more than likely not order this dish again. It could have used a bit more soy sauce and the noodles could have been cooked just a bit longer so they were soft. Other than that, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't a 5 star dish. I rate this a 4/10. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away on my page!
