Comments (9)Sashimi/sushi is usually both artfully presented and very delicious but not exotic compared to many things that are commonly eaten in Japan. I was an adventurous eater during my first trip there. Two things I remember eating in particular were grasshoppers and tadpoles. Both tasted fine if you didn't think about what you were eating nor look too closely at what you were putting into your mouth. There were some other things I questioned myself about and decided to just eat them and not ask what they were. I like octopus and it's a common seafood in the big European Mediterranean seafood eating areas like in Iberia, Italy and Greece. Whether eaten cooked or raw (sashimi) Japanese style, the flavor isn't that different from squid (calamari)....See MoreJapan Trip, last day in Kyoto
Comments (10)Lars, yes, lots of people but even then it is surprisingly quiet compared to the U.S. I didn't really notice it until we got off the plane in LA. Americans are so noisy! Even in Tokyo, walking the streets it wasn't noisy. Even their horns are quiet. One of our taxi drivers got irritated by people in his way so he honked at them, really funny the tiny noise his car horn made....See MoreJapan Trip, day? Mito/Hitachanaka
Comments (7)Breakfast at our hotel in Mito. 2 days I picked the Japanese breakfast and then I decided on the Western one for the last day. This is the Japanese one, of course, the best breakfast I recall having in Japan, except for the natto (fermented soybeans-gag). cousin Isamu who wouldn't let us pay for anything and went to so much trouble for us, me, and my uncle who looks so much like my mom. His younger brother looks like his twin too. lunch: miso ramen at a Ramen restaurant in Mito. Little town on the coast. The whale is a town mascot. Every city has one apparently....See More
