This is what i had for breaky:
The hotel gave a coice: western or japanese style. Western was scrambled egg, bacon, fruit and toast. I said "fuck that" an opted for the japanese one:
Cold egg (ychhhh!), rice, fish, pickles, a cube of sweetened scrambled egg, soup which was yummy and the unforgetable Nato. Nato is putrified soyabean curd which has broken down into what can only be decribed as a beanny paste imersed in a mixture of snot and cum. Fucking disgusting stuff. And if you touched it with your chopsticks it seemed to spore everywhere like some sort of alien spider-web mucous shit.

I also had these amazing compacted pancake thingies in a resteraunt where they cooked the food on a hotplate right in from of you. They basically towered multiple levels of egg, noodles, veg, bacon, sauce, shrimps and fish flakes (?) till it was like half a foot in the air and then the chef drops this big weight on it to compress the fucker right down. You then ate it off the hob and one "wafer thin" bite fed you enough for a deep space-flight to the crab nebula. This was all washed down with ice-cold rice beer served in -10 degree icicled glasses. Delish!
The best was that every convenience store had loads of ready made lunch boxes packed full of varied rice-cakes and sushi and weird little pickled things and they would fill you right up and cost like 2 quid and were healthy as fuck. If you were travelling on the cheap, you'd easily live on a fiver of food a day.

You gotta try Okonomiyaki. It's really fantastic. The best way to describe it would be a Japanese Pancake but with veggies

I was with a big group of people touring a power plant in Japan, and we went to a restarant on our bus stop for lunch break and we all had a giant (over a foot) tall steaming tuna head. It was huge!

Sushi, man. It's orgasmic. It doesn't taste like 'seafood', since it is so fresh. It's very clean. You can gorge yourself on it and not feel all greasy (as with american food). Mmmm.

brokephones ... thats the stuff. fantastic stuff altogether
The one feckin thing i wanted to do was go out and party with the locals - but we were 2 hours from Tokyo and i just never got it together to go in and go clubbing.The nearest we got was a session at a small trad.bar with a couple of builders who nearly married us off to their sisters. They were into rock music. and K1 fighting........ no score!

I've never been one for seafood. Especially crab. When people eat that, they look absolutey barbaric.

A friend of mine worked in a kroket factory before. Trust me, you don't want to know what goes into them.
Stroopwafels are nice though, as is that speculaas cake. Mmmm.

I went for a Japanese meal the other night to celebrate my brother's graduation. The cook stood in front of us cooking on a hot plate in front of our table. It was amazing to watch and I loved the food. Less... gloopy than Chinese I found.

its so well presented too. Everything in Japan has an aesthetic quality.... nothings just slapped down in from of you.
I got these rice-cakes in a shop one day. There were special instructions on how to unwrap them - a mate showed me. It was a triangular package with 4 tabs onit and you had to pull each on sequantially. It was like some sort of puzzle mixed with origami and what you ended up doing was wrapping your rice-cake in seaweed without even touching it.. the seaweed being in its own sort of wrapper inside the package. it was just so well thought out.. and delicious! (like my ex.)
