While perhaps not a chronological event in itself, the food of Japan definitely stands out as something we thoroughly enjoyed. Here are random shots of some of our meals, since everyone loves food :)
Our fantastic friends, hosts, and tour guides for the trip. Our greatest thanks to David and Yuko for such generous hospitality to create an unforgettable trip!
Japanese strawberries are by far the sweetest, most delicious strawberries that we've ever had. As soon as we took our first bite, we went back to the supermarket to buy more.
Our favorite snacks from Japan - Shiroi Koibito. We searched high and low to finally buy these in Tokyo, until we arrived at the airport and realized we could get it easily there... will remember next time!
@grunt72 - the shabu shabu was on a small street about 5 minutes south-west of Tokyo Station. Super good quality and a great value - only 3,780 JPY / pax for all-you-can-eat and also includes drinks. Will try and look at old photos to get the name of the place or address for you.
@grunt72 - here is the menu, the restaurant name should be in the top-left. No idea how to read it so the best I can give you is this and that it is close to Tokyo Station. I'm sure if you ask someone in the area they'll be able to point you to it!
