More Japanese food!

Back by popular demand: more Japanese food. A random sampling of the remaining food pictures from my trip.
Displaying plastic models of food served is a popular sales tactic.





Salad with seaweed and crab.



Sushi.





Bento boxes.




In many restaurants you order electronically. Here is my friend Yano attempting to order. You touch the stylus to the menu and then to the handheld computer.



Yakitori - grilled chicken.




Tofu!





Offal soup.





BBQ bamboo in Sapporo.






Sashimi in Sapporo. Amazing - I felt like I was eating sashimi for the first time. The tako (octopus) was particularly delicious.






A breakfast with tofu, eggs, small french toast, samples of honey and "green juice."




Green tea latte. Starbucks is in Japan too!




A masculine coffee brand. Coffee from vending machines is very popular.





Fried pork sandwich and bacon balls in the airport.






Stand up sushi bar lunch!







 Onigiri - rice balls - I ate these as snacks almost every day in Japan.



Japanese hamburger. (No real difference if you ask me!)







One night we had barbecue in Fukuoka. These are sauces for dipping - lemon, salt and soy.




Raw meat for grilling. On the left, offal. On the right, a selection of local, grassfed beef with some bacon and chicken.


Another delicious dinner on the last night.













Ice cream sandwiches with rice cookies!

I ate so well on this trip. I hope to learn to cook some of the various Japanese delicies I enjoyed.
