The answer is false! Many people think of sushi when they think of Japanese food, but the
truth is that this food is more of a delicacy than anything else. You won't find many people
who eat sushi every day or even on a regular basis. The main staple food in Japan is rice,
which the Japanese eat with almost every meal.
