Cosmos Hotel Management Co., Ltd., which operates Japan's No. 1 apartment hotel "MIMARU," will exhibit at the travel fair "MATTA Fair September 2024," to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from Friday, September 6, to Sunday, September 8, 2024. Staying at MIMARU means enjoying a trip to the fullest. Since the company wants Malaysian families to experience an amazing trip, the Malaysian staff at MIMARU have put together a selection of recommended Japanese food based on three themes: "Experience Japanese food," "Masterclasses of Popular ramen," and "Enjoy with Children."
Staff members at MIMARU are always ready to recommend restaurants to guests that fit their interests perfectly. It only takes one bite to make them fall in love with the beauty and deliciousness of the world of Japanese food and make them curious for more. Family mealtime will be an adventurous and enjoyable occasion during the trip.
1. Experience Japanese food
The staple food in Japan is rice, and there are many rice dishes, including sushi. One of the company's recommendations is the "donburi" (rice bowl). There are many specialty restaurants, such as oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl), gyudon (beef bowl) with sweet and spicy beef and soup, and ebi-katsudon (deep-fried shrimp cutlet bowl). Recently, "onigiri" (rice balls) have become very popular around the world. They are made by stuffing rice with various ingredients and wrapping it in seaweed. At convenience stores, they are reasonably priced at around 4-6 MYR (130-200 JPY) a piece.

Ramen, which has been gaining attention from around the world, is particularly attractive to foodies for its regional variety. Hokkaido is famous for its miso flavor topped with butter and corn, while Kanto is famous for its traditional soy sauce flavor. Additionally, the hardness and thickness of the noodles also differ. Recently, there has been an increase in new varieties of ramen that use secret soup recipes, homemade noodles and ingredients. One popular example of such is yuzu salt ramen. Guests can enjoy an innovative bowl of ramen that highlights the craftsmanship of Japanese people. In Japan's major cities, ramen shops from all over the country can be found, and comparing the different varieties will become a fun part of the trip.

Two popular sweets that have been around in Japan for a long time are taiyaki and shaved ice. Fish-shaped taiyaki are filled with red bean paste or cream, and some traditional eateries even grill them one by one over charcoal. Shaved ice drenched in matcha is a visually stunning delicacy. If guests want to casually dine with their kids, the company recommends a conveyor belt sushi restaurant where they can choose sweets and a la carte dishes, or a more adventurous family restaurant with a wide menu and where food is delivered by a robot.
