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
Gigantic prawns on display
Tonkatsu - Japanese fast food
Japanese pickles
Upscale Japanese steakhouse, Kyoto
Food was utterly delicious, with the tenderest of steak
