Breakfast
Banana and melonpan, my standard breakfast.
-
Tacos
An expensive, but successful group taco making experiment.
-
Curry
A staple. Shown here with the proper eating utensil (spoons are for curry).
-
Sushi board
A variety of sushi/sweets we started with at an IES lunch. From top: anko, cheese, and apricot dealies; sweet beans; unagi; some sort of sashimi-esque thing with spicy mayo.
-
Salad
Greens, shrooms, and scallops.
-
Soup ingredients
Pre-cooking.
-
Soup
Post-cooking. Some sort of miso-y base.
-
Eggrolls
Fried and good.
-
-
Cakes
Unfortunately, there was glass between me and the cakes. At Kyoto Eki.
-
Kuroshoyu Ramen
Ramen outside of Fushimi Inari shrine. Quite nice, but I could have gone for the oomori I think.
-
Maple Pancakes
An oft-eaten snack for me. Two pancake sandwitches with margarine and semi-maple syrup in between.
-
Pancake calories
Just the right amount.
-
Okonomiyaki Set
Okonomiyaki plus 5 takoyaki. Fairly satisfying.
-
Calorie Mate
The packaging for this energy/food bar is pure genius. Gimme a block of text over a flashy design any day.
-
Calorie Mate bar
This is 1/4 what you get in a Calorie Mate. Think shortcake, but a bit more military.
-
Soba Set
A nice lunch set at a little cafe in Arashiyama. Best part of the meal was the conversation I got to have with the dude running the joint and the other guy sitting at the counter.
-
Hitori-mae Stew
I was way hungry at the end of the day, and was having a hard time finding a place to eat. Decided on this joint randomly, just asked the waitress for a recommendation (sorta embarassing at the time), and got this. Lots of veggies, came with its own heating thing.
-
Black Rice Onigiri
The only place I could find in all of Nara park was this little tea house. This was about the most significant food item they had. Nice, but I was glad I had my Calorie Mate (I ate a lot of those over this trip).
-
Manna Combo
This is the meal I got at an Indian restaurant in Nara. Tabehodai (all you can eat) was reported to me by my friends, but it required two or more people, so I got this, plus one more thing unintentionally...
-
Dahl
Accidentally ended up with an extra curry when I was there... I ordered the dinner, which said it came with "2 Currys," so I thought you chose which ones you wanted, so I listed Dahl, but then asked if I got to choose the curries. They said no, and so I said, oh, just the dinner then (or tried to at least), but ended up with an extra plate of curry. Ended up just eating it and paying extra, but it got a bit expensive unfortunately... no take out boxes allowed.
-
Soba+Tempura Set
Essentially cold soba noodles that you dip in the dark broth and eat, along with some awesome tempura. Huge shrimp in there.
-
Station Ramen
Ramen I got at Kyoto Eki my last night. Wins the prize for the most oily ramen I've eaten so far.
-
Unagidon
Had lunch with Lindsay and I got eel donburi. Good stuff.
-
Katsudon
She got katsudon. (Katsu is like a fried pork patty, don = donburi = stuff on top of rice)
-
Strawberry
One of 10 I was allowed to eat at Mokumoku farm (touristy) during the IES trip to Mie prefecture. Large and good.
-
Strawberry Pack
We also got to pack a box to take home.
-
Yakiniku Fixins
Another cook-it-yourself deal, but this time it was just a grill type thing. The sauces were nice.
-
Yakiniku
Cooking in progress.
-
Station Desserts
More cakes behind glass. Didn't eat these.
-
Takoyaki
Good stuff. Blazing hot though.
