I think I'd like it, too, but it isn't too likely to ever get my hubby to travel there, because he's extremely uncomfortable in big cities and large crowds. One of the many side effects of his service as a combat infantryman.<br /><br />Have a super weekend!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-23796566039659211812015-10-16T06:17:11.498-07:002015-10-16T06:17:11.498-07:00The closest I've ever been to Japan has been L...The closest I've ever been to Japan has been Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and J-Town in San Francisco!

But I miss the freshness of all the veggies, chicken and special fruits and herbs. <br />Plus every region has a special food they highlight. <br />I really miss the Kaki no Ha Zushi.... pressed sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves. This is from Nara. You use an oily fish, mackerel, salmon or trout curing the fish pressing it into a box filled with rice then pressed. Then rectangles are cut and wrapped in a persimmon leaf. The leaf is antibactraical, is salted and cured. The sushi is then placed back in the box. You can keep it without refigeration for a day or two but being an American If I buy it as take a way I put in the frig if any is left. My favorite is salmom and mackerel. <br />You do not eat the leaves.<br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-36214249441002253412015-10-15T09:17:32.626-07:002015-10-15T09:17:32.626-07:00What food do you miss the most?

In fact when we came home we found we didn't really enjoy the western takeaway or cafe style food any more and had to wean ourselves off the Japanese/ Chinese food we'd been eating.

My family eats just about anything and everything so we do just fine.<br />But, ramen fresh ramen with miso and slow cooked pork or veggies, Gyoza (dumplings) cooked with chicken, shrimp pork or veggies. Chicken or pork pounded thin dusted with panko fried served on rice, Any type of fish you don't need to eat it raw but it is so good. Then there is tempura, veggie and shrimp or yakitori pieces of chicken cooked over a grill. I could go on and on but your can eat great food with out haveing everything raw. Many of the bakerys served the best sandwitches and rolls stuffed with ham.<br />I am so envious. I can't go on the trip I was planning, health problems.<br />You will do just fine and have a great time.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-44613253799278671072015-10-14T16:06:21.115-07:002015-10-14T16:06:21.115-07:00Were you living in Japan?
