Basic Japanese ingredients to have in my house?

I'm going to go to a couple stores.. world market.. grocery store.. etc.

And I love Japanese food. It's mostly healthy and very delicious.

so I need to know some basic Japanese things to get.

I want to get ingredients for main dishes, soups, drinks, desserts, everything! (:

like tofu, udon noodles, dashi soup stock, those are things that would come in handy.

I already have teriyaki, soy sauce, rice.. that's about it pfft.

Also seasonings and spices to use.
