Washoku

WASHOKU is registered as one of intangible cultural heritage. What do you think of  from the word of  "WASHOKU"?

I read an interesting report on the newspaper.
Japanese people think typical WASHOKU is -- that
SUSHI, SASHIMI, MISO-soup or SUIMONO, KAISEKI-dishes, TEMPURA, NIMONO, and NIKUJAGA.
They are traditional Japanese food, and the common thing is soy-sauce or soy-beans, (When we cook MISO-soup, we don't use soy-sauce, but we put MISO (soy beans paste) to taste it.)
How many things do you know?

And WASHOKU which is recommend to foreigners by Japanese people are ---
SUSHI, TEMPURA, SASHIMI, and SUKIYAKI.
All of them are kind of feast, not usual meals.

Do Japanese people always eat WASHOKU? No.
Is WASHOKU expensive? Some of them are expensive, but some of them are inexpensive.

There is such a question; Do you think these familiar Japanese foods are WASHOKU?
YAKISOBA;  45% people say yes.
RAMEN; 35%people say yes.
EBI-FURAI; 28%people say yes.
TARAKO-spaghetti ;28% people say yes.
Japanese curry and rice ;23% people say yes.

My foreign friends who live in Japan, say "they are Japanese food".
What difference is there between WASHOKU and Japanese food?

If you know the difference, why don't you come to Japan?
Additionally I'll treat "Japanese food".
