Japanse food - easy on the stomach?

My sweet sixteen is on Monday, and I'm planning on going out to this really fancy Japanese restuarant. The thing is, my mom is pregnant and isn't sure if she can handle the hibachi stuff. So I was wondering if anyone knew a particular Japanese dish (other than miso soup) that would be calming to the stomach? It is my birthday, but I don't want her to have a bad time of it.

Well, so long as she doesn't order anything spicy, the hibachi stuff should be fine. Just avoid anything tempura. Green tea would be a good choice for a drink. Get plain rice instead of fried. Try vegetarian options.Japanse food - easy on the stomach?
Have you seen what Japanese food does to those Sumu wrestlers?
I love Tonkatsu pork but that is deep fried so that might be a problem. What about some cucumber sushi (kappa makki) or egg sushi (tomago) and she just has soy sauce with it and ignore the wasabi? I hope this helps:)Japanse food - easy on the stomach?

Ask the waiter at the restaurant what they would recommend. Say my mom is pregnant and I wanted to know what dishes you have that can be easy on her stomach or very calming.



As long as she doesnt have anything really heavy, fried or spicy she will prob be ok.
She should be fine with Hibachi cooked food. She just needs to cut back on fish and shellfish for the mercury content and all sushi (California Rolls are O.K.--they are not raw) for obvious reasons (raw foods are a no-no). She may like vegetable tempura, chicken teriyaki, steamed rice, miso soup and any katsu dish (fried chicken or pork).
Just choose wisely! Some may and some may not
I've always had problem with Japenese dishes, I've tried different things and none of them sit very well with me... But a few of my friends never have any problems. I guess it depends on the person and/or their system.
udon noodles in soup, they generally have a large selection with different types including seafood, chicken terriyaki, beef, breaded pork chops. ask if they have any steamed dishes like a steamed egg custard (very traditional japanese dish), steamed fish (like black cod with miso is very good)
If pregnant, she needs to avoid sushi or sashimi!



She ought to be able to eat the normal hibachi or teriyaki chicken w/ some plain steamed rice. She may want to skip the salad and mushroom soup, tho theugh broth is great.



Most japanese steak houses have fresh pineapple for dessert; I bet she'd like that, too.
Beef bagogee....it is so good
I agree with the other person who says to ask the waiter for recommendations. Every restaurant, not just Japanese, cooks their food differently, so it is hard to tell what kind of Japanese restauarant you are going to... Generally speaking though, unless your mom already eats sushi or sashimi, she should stay away from anything raw (not that there is anything particularly wrong with it, but pregnant women tend to have "inflated" taste buds and seem sensitive to the sea taste....) so tell her to order something cooked like Teriyaki Chicken or TonKatsu. Some Japanese things are fried, like Tempura, but if it's an authentic Japanese restaurant, they will fry in Bran Oil which is quite easy on the stomach compared to other oils, like Peanut or Sesame....
try sukiyaki , udon, soba noodles
