More Looks at Japanese Food and Eating

Many times, I had no idea what I was eating, but it was presented beautifully and tasted great.

You didn't have to know the language, you could just point.

You can buy anything from Japanese vending machines, which are on almost every street corner. It is said that there is 1 vending machine for every 6 people in Japan.

And there are vending machines just for kids.

The food is super fresh ...

... and much of it is cooked on the streets by happy cooks.

But the inside restaurants have great displays and food, too.

And you can always enjoy traditional Japanese group dining.

It is hot (and I mean hot) in the summer in Japan and ice cream is everywhere. My favorite - green tea.

Sometimes, the spelling is a little off ...

... but even with the language barrier, one word can let you know what you are getting ...

... and when West does meet East you can have it your way and chow down on a McTeriyaki Burger and fried McSushi Balls.
