food!!

Caan't forget the food.  This post is devoted solely to Japanese food.  In Tokyo, your choices are never limited, which if you're anything like me, is more than a enough to keep your mouth good and watering.

Tokyo is a pretty unique mix of modern/traditional/Japanese/International elements, and not just with food, but everything.  This obviously has it's ups and downs, but for food, I'd have to lean way towards the plus side.  

Conveyor Belt Sushi:  One of my favorites!  In Tokyo, it's hard to go wrong with sushi, and especially if it's on a conveyor belt; nothing beats freshly made sushi sliding by at your fingertips.   

Ramen:  Quick, cheap and oh soooo good.  This muddle of noodles, sprouts, pork, scallions or whatever else, is a slurping daydream.   

Korean BBQ:  I'm not one for cooking meat, or really eating it a lot, but this is a definite exception.  Also, probably the few ways that I would be totally fine with eating cow tongue, liver and other not so appetizing animal parts.  

and lastly, mcdonald's.  ethan, three weeks without it?  ...i tried.  

Ok, that's all for the food for now.  There's much, much more, so expect a part 2...  I've also realized that most of the food I included originated in other places, so I'll try and include more 'Japanese' food in the next one.  Also look for desserts... hmmm, yes.  

Ethan and I are off to English camp now!  We leave tomorrow for Soma, Japan for swimming, hiking, fishing and of course more co-teaching!  Write more when we get back!

much love,

Hanako
