In Japan, breakfast is very important. It is the source of a day. And it is also said that we have to eat fifty kinds of food per a day. So we have a well-balanced food every morning. It is basically rice, miso-soup, natto and pickles. We want to eat a lot of kinds of food as many as we can, so mother makes miso-soup with lots of vegetables.
Recently, however, Japanese teenagers tend not to eat breakfast or they tend to eat only a slice of bread. Because of this, their brain can�t work very much, and they can�t concentrate the lesson in the school. Therefore, teachers also teach their students the importance of having breakfast.
