60 notes &
If i ate my way through Japan, if I did, it might have looked like this.
Some highlights:
The third photo (looks like spaghetti) is a Hiroshima specialty called okonomikayki. It’s a flat pancake with a layer of udon noodles and eggs, and you use the spatula on the right to cut and eat it.
I realize that sounds gross, and Jessica Brokaw has pointed out that it looks like food she’d left out in her dorm room and forgotten. Nevertheless, it was my favorite. Also, at $10, the only bargain in Japan besides musubi (triangle of seaweed filled with rice), which costs about $2.
Sake is traditionally served in an overflowing cup. Nice! Shows you’re not a cheapo!
MINT Pocky exists.
That sushi was breakfast at 5:30am in Tokyo, after failing to get into the morning’s fish auction, despite arriving at 4:45am. We were beaten by MBA kids who traveled in a pack and got there at 4:30. Jerks.
Lastly, Eric is a carnivore and tried Nagoya raw chicken. See last photo. He also ate whale bacon, but out of respect for Orky and Corky and happy memories of those whales at Marineland, I’m not posting that picture here.
