So Much Food!!!

Anyone who knows us, knows we love to eat. David likes the main meals, I like the snacks and Miles likes the drinks and desserts. We are all pretty adventurous eaters too so we made every meal count.



Most restaurants in the larger cities had menus printed with either pictures or some english but one of the coolest things I remember from past trips was the realistic plastic food in the windows of the restaurants. This makes it so much easier to decide what you want and if all else fails, you can bring the waiter to the window and point.





These dishes are from a couple of the traditional Japanese meals we were served. The presentation of the food was so creative. We had a box made of leaves to open up and the use of local flowers and branches to decorate the plate. How did they get that boiled egg in a checkerboard pattern?


Beautiful pastries at a bakery in the Kyoto train station.


Japanese kid's meal.


Box lunches like this are sold on the train platform. There were so many choices, it was hard to decide which one to buy.


There were vending machines everywhere! One of the kids favorite things was trying all the different drinks. Peach, melon and grapefruit drinks were the best. Some of the machines sold whiskey, beer and many flavors of iced coffee right along with the softdrinks.
