We also ate dinner at my Aunt's house: Hiyashi Chuka...my dad's favorite childhood food...I think. It was very very yummy!!!

And we bought this for her for dessert! The Japanese have fabulous dessert and pastries and just yummy little treats.



AH it was all SO good. Also there was this melon bread that I just loved and I think I am addicted to the sparkling ginger water...I bought out the grocery store every time. And in old town there were these ice fruit treats...THE BEST! I am sure I missed a ton...there was just too much great food!

YUM I can't wait to go back and try new dishes!!!

Please go to Japan...just for the food...because American Japanese food just doesn't do it justice.

much love,
