Japanese Food-Porn (Part 2)

This is the second post of my Japanese Food-Porn series. Check out the first one if you missed it: https://findpenguins.com/6jjjgruit3szw/footprin…

During the past weeks, I ate various delicious food here in Japan. For example, a curry 🍛 with KAWAII decoration in Tsycho Onsen. It was more like goulash and had nothing to do with Indian curry as we know it. But the obligatory foot bath 😌 that I had during sitting at the table was definitely a highlight.
Another highlight was my first ever Japanese tea ceremony (with matcha tea accompanied by a mochi) in Nihonmatsu which was very different from what I knew from China 🇨🇳

In Aizu-Wakamatsu I tried dango 🍡 of course with matcha flavor. It’s I bit like 3 small mochis on a stick 😋 and I ate a very good burger 🍔 (with egg, beef, bacon, tomato, cucumber, pineapple, …) at a local burger place for lunch in restaurant Aizu Burger Lucky Smile. I can definitely recommend it 👍 I was also visiting the local sake brewery and took a guided tour in Aizu-Wakamatsu. I was the only attendant but the tour was only in Japanese and I have probably missed half of the information. 😅 Nevertheless, the guide made an effort to convey at least the most important information. After the free tasting from 4 different bottles, I bought the one that tasted the best. Later it turned out to be plum wine 🍶 and not sake 😂
Before I ended my day trip to Aizu-Wakamatsu, I had another Ramen 🍜 at the train station there. It smelled and tasted fantastic with its fresh herbs and lemon.

I also ate at several running sushi places in Japan now. The first one I visited was only a few weeks ago in Koriyama. What was a bit special there was that the Sushi 🍣 was delivered on little model trains.

In Kyoto I tried matcha flavored soft ice cream 🍦for the first time. Not too bad either 😄 And on one of the evenings I went with some fellow travelers to a small inconspicuous but very good Gyoza 🥟 restaurant. They basically served only 3 different kinds of gyoza. I had the coriander flavored ones and the special dish of the restaurant. Both had been excellent. 😋

In Osaka I tried one of the 10 yen pancakes 🥞 that I saw people eat everywhere. It is filled with mozzarella cheese but the dough is sweet. Thank god the cheese was relatively mild but it is not really my favorite. 😒
Many other things I ate were great (I have already material for the next part of this series) but this 10 yen pancake was not for me. Czytaj więcej
