Good food and good people

Sure, there are some things in America that are bigger and better and physically more comfortable.  But, in Japan, it is all made up for with good food and good people. 
Good Food
We ate soooooo much good food every day.  Crab, sushi, yakitori x2, ramen x3, yakiniku x2, tempura, Mos Burger, McDonald's, Hokka Hokka bento, tako yaki x2, somen, lots of fish and rice and miso...In celebration of Okaasan's 60th birthday, we went to this really swanky, beautiful restaurant in this cathedral-like building which caters to weddings.  It was something out of a japanese tv drama about fictional rich people who sit around drinking tea.  Also, Miho's husband, Seigou, really gave his heart to a feast he prepared for her birthday-- tempura, chirashi, suimono, karaage, tamago yaki.  I think Kai gained a pound in 2 weeks. 


First stop. Nagahama Shogun ramen. Kai pounced on the onigir on the table.

Slurrrrrppppp... ahhhhh.... that's good stuff.

A little lunch with high school friend, Ban-ban, and his family

At kai-ten sushi.  This place was GOOD! It was cool, too. You buzz in your order at the table.  Above the sushi boats, a little shinkansen train drives up to your table and stops with your order on top!

Seigou's feast for Okaasan's 60th.. amazing!
