I just completed a small yet
fulfilling trip with my dad and brother in Japan. We were in Tokyo,
Hakone (Mt Fuji area), Kyoto, Hiroshima
and Osaka.
Besides all of the interesting cultures and attractions, one of the lasting
impressions I had is the food. This was one of those trips, where food was one
of the main attractions. We came to Japan already knowing that we are
going to sample some of the best food in the country and also local
specialties.
It was so much fun and delicious,
and I can't wait to share all of it with you. Oh by the way, for anyone who
wishes to follow our itinerary, please feel free! We travelled all over using
the Shinkansen and the subway stations. And everything was very easy to find :)
Here's a sample of what we ate
throughout our trip
Just a quick tip for all the
foodies out there, be sure to research on the specialty foods of the area. You
definitely want to try it out. For example, we tried out the famed Hiroshima style
Okonomiyaki (japanese pancake) and it was very different from the normal
Okonomiyaki that we usually have. Also, be sure to have a list of items that
you want to try, because you can get lost in the food choices very easily in Japan. You
don't want to end up eating only Ramen or Curry throughout your stay =)
