Our first meal in Japan was at a Japanese chain restaurant. The price was relatively decent and food could be ordered from the picture menu, scored! We had a garlic pizza, some toro sushi, yakisoba, macaroni cheese appetizer, squid, salmon sushi, and some others. Food was okay. Not as delicate as I would expect from Japanese restaurants. Something new for sure. Our second meal was much different. We had a traditional Japanese breakfast: rice gruell (congee), a small piece of grilled fish, various types of veggie pickles, tofu, pouch egg, and several pieces of sashimi. It was wierd to eat raw fish in the morning. \The presentation of the meal was beautiful though! Overall, it was a B+. The third meal was at a all-chicken restaurant. I chose chicken ramen. Besides the three pieces of deep fried chicken that I could easily picked out, the ramen itself was not bad at all. The veggie in the noodle was slightly grilled. The ramen had real crab leg meat, a bit of scallops, and some quill eggs in it. The soup itself was think, mediumly flavoured, and no MSG. Overall, it was an A-. Tomorrow, we are going to a ramen museum where we can try all sorts of ramen from different regions. It should be cool. The forth meal, I had only a fig yogart and a small rice ball. I had too much food during the day. The fig yogart was yummy. It had different texture from the yogart in America. I like fig, and the fig and yogart combination is was excellent.
