What to eat at lunch time is a common problem for almost every white collar. It sounds a easy question but actually it is hard to figure out sometime. Because usually, most white collars have only one hour to have their lunch, which is commonly from 12:00 to 13:00.
During this one hour, they have to find a place or restaurant which provides good food, tidy dining environments, warm services, and last but not the least reasonable prices. Based on my experience, a Japanese business lunch setting is the best choice for me.
In a common Japanese lunch setting, it includes Appetizer, Main Dishes and Dessert. Basically, those settings are different combinations with the same Appetizer and different Main Dishes. Clients can choose the one they like according to main dishes. Desserts usually include ice cream, fruit, coffee and tea. Clients can pick one and then tell a waiter or waitress after they finish their main dishes.
