Japan Series - Food

Some Japanese food does not appeal to the western appetite.  The range of experimentation therefore was limited on this trip.  Here were a few things that we sampled.


Rolling sushi at a shushi bar at Kyoto

Yakitori restaurant, Osaka.  Everything on a skewer.

Dinner at ryokan

A sushi and tempura set meal with Asahi beer

Okonomi-yaki being cooked on a griddle,Osaka

Food was utterly delicious, with the tenderest of steak
