Went grocery shopping today, I bought packets of Kimchi ramen and Japanese Nissin ones for boy to try... hahahhahaha Training for our Japan trip!
He won't eat anything Asian and he is practically the "Chief Tester" of McDonalds around the world. It's a drag for me, as I have to find him Western foods before finding mine whenever we travel to Asia.
Look at one of our meals we ate in Bangkok, View attachment 16949 I had the Namtok rice which is very nice by the way...
How do you get your kids to eat local food?
If you must there are Maccas and Subway all over Japan but as others have suggested, start with less confronting dishes and work your way up from there. No point in spoiling your holiday over it, he'll come around eventually (maybe when he's 23)
