If there’s one cuisine that proves a challenge for homecooks, it’s Japanese. You’ll need not only the freshest ingredients (which we have to admit, aren’t always accessible in supermarkets), but also the skill and technique. To skip the hassle of shopping and preparing, you can order from these Japanese restaurants which are open for delivery.

It may be sweltering hot in the country now, but Tetsuo’s spicy chicken is worth the challenge. But if you’re not a fan of spicy food, you can opt for their karaage chicken or salmon bowl.
