Quit it Japan, You are making me hungry
Japan has fantastic food, and it is very hard to come across something that isn't appetizing. I thought I would share a few places that I have been and some of the things I have eaten. Don't get too excited there isn't anything really out of the ordinary so far.
In Kobe we found ourselves hunting for Kobe beef so we decided to eat at this hibachi style place in the heart of the city. Of course little did we know, as I mentioned earlier, Kobe beef is just as expensive in Kobe as anywhere else. So we opted for beef raised the same way, but didn't quite make the grade when it came time to be eaten. Overall it was a delicious meal and a lot of fun. We enjoyed several courses, starting with salad, then onto soup, followed by vegetables beef and rice.
