Misc Japanese Food

I got back from Tokyo on Saturday and am only now starting to get over the jet lag. During the week, I had some great meals with people from work. The picture above is some sashimi (raw fish) at a dinner. It tasted quite good, but I wasn't interested in the raw scallops.

At a different dinner, we sat cross legged on tatami mats in an enclosed room. By the end of the dinner, by legs were feeling a little numb. I'm not as flexible as I used to be. The seafood pot was cooked at the table - kind of like a Japanese "fondue".


And finally, some friends took me to a great ramen place. We tried to get there before there was a line, but by 11:30am, the line stretched out of the door.

They put a spoonful of hot sauce in the bottom of the bowl before they fill it. The combination of spicy and ramen noodles was great.
