The Food Post

Well, I figured I'd show what I'm eating. I'll try to take photos for about a week and send them to this post, so please check this post every few days (Not higher up in a new post in the blog, just added to this one).

So, today I felt like Italian...

First we have lunch. This is the so-called Japanese lunch box (bentou). Clockwise from the left purple - Japanese pickled vegetables, homemade potato salad, rice with Japanese seasoning, egg, salad with cabbage, corn and tomato, and a 11 ounce Japanese hamburg with italian cheese and sauce. Yum!



Then for dinner, this gourmet pasta. Spaghetti, cheese, herbs, sauce.. The tomatoes come from a famous tomato farm in Japan, they're delivered twice daily to the restaurant, and because of this, the restaurant can only make about 15 plates of this in a day.

Since pasta sauce is made fresh daily and only about 15 plates are made; do you have to make a meal reservation days in advance or is it "first come, first serve?
How does the taste of italian food in Japan compare to that in the U.S.?
