Japan 2018

Local river fish along with soba noodle sushi, wasabi stems, a bit of chicken and wasp larvae

Wasp larvae. Texture is a bit like rice, they were flavored in a teriyaki sauce

Boiled vegetables were so good. There is a pumpkin sauce and on top are basically potato chips

Local beef we were told is fed beer and apples and given regular massages

They cooked the beef on the table. They turned fans on us during this part of the meal

Local mochi - sweet rice cake with a sticky sauce of peanuts, walnuts, sugar, sake, & soy sauce

Lots of rice along with all the rest of it!

Dinner at Ryokan Fujioto

19 juli 2018, Japan ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

Dinner was fantastic - 9 different local dishes introduced by our sweet Japanese server with a lot of smiling, bowing and some follow-up questions from us.

When we were planning this trip, I was a bit worried Alex would have trouble at meals like this. But as we have seen him do on other trips, he gets into the spirit of things and stretches himself instinctively. Tonight he ate pretty much everything, with the exception of mushrooms and the wasp larvae. Hard to blame him for that.

The meal was very much about local food, which was very cool, but it was also very inventive and beautiful. This was a really special meal.Läs mer
