Our First Japanese Meal

The hotel had three restaurants:  Japanese, Chinese and Western.  The first night we decided to have Japanese.  Julia was not to cooperative but feel asleep half way through.

First course:  Sushi, a sweet red tea, and something green in the little box but good.

 The meat and veggies that we get to cook.

 Second course:  Japanese salad.  Sushi and veggies with a light sauce. The green thing is tofu, not bad.

 Third course:  Soup. You drink from cup and it had a good onion flavor. Julia liked this and ate much of Jeff's.

 Fourth course:  Cold veggies you are suppose to dip in miso.

 Pickled veggies, not so good.

 More tofu.  I didn't care for this one.

 The menu, in case anyone can read Japanese.  We cooked the meat and veggies and had a garlic and sesame dipping sauces.  Plus rice and miso soup.

Dessert:  Miracle pudding.  A little flavor that is hard to describe.  Very good.

Add beer and good service and we had a great meal.  The next night we had the Western meal.  Local Hida beef that was so tender you didn't need a knife to cut it.  I would love to eat like this all the time.
