It is a pleasure to visit a Japanese restaurant as you can get a variety of food items there. All these food items are good to taste as they are prepared with great care and with a variety of spices. If you wash them down with an antioxidant-packed green tea and you will get extraordinary benefit as they turn out to be very good appetizer.

If you want to look at it more closely, then go for Edamame- and request for nude or ‘lightly salted’. You will be served with steamed soyabeans. They provide a combination of protein and fiber-rich carbohydrate. This preparation has a good medicinal value as well because it helps your body to stabilize your blood sugar levels and curbs appetite. If you take one cup of edamame, you eventually take 180 calories of energy, 16 grams protein and 5 grams fiber.

Apart from this, Miso soup with mini tofu chunks can also be very smart choice. Though this low calorie soup is a slow starter, it has a very high capacity of sodium. One cup of Miso soup can provide you 85 calories and 8000 grams of sodium but if are taking one cup Miso soup without tofu chunks, you intake 40 calories ad 800 milligram sodium.

If you are interested in low calorie option, you can also think of Chicken Yakitori which is terrific high protein food stuff. One certain quantity of this preparation can provide you 135 calories. All these food stuff are a very useful for the good and healthy body and they are very good appetizers also.

A preparation of green vegetables along with ginger dressing can be a very good alternative food item. You can get very big amount of calorie if it is treated with ginger/carrot. So be careful of handling theses high curbs and they can be very troublesome for you one day.
