Today's Food


The breakfast at my hotel in Tokyo is nothing special -- it's a buffet with a mixture of Japanese and Western items. I mostly had the Japanese items, but I did have a couple of slices of toast instead of rice!

For lunch I went to Mai-Sen a Tonkatsu (deep fried breaded pork loin) place which I went to last year. This is the first time that I order something and when it turned up it wasn't quite what I expected! I wanted just a regular piece of pork with rice, shredded cabbage and miso soup. What I got was a piece of pork on top of a big bowl of rice with a load of unwanted fried up egg. I did get soup but it wasn't regular miso soup. Don't get me wrong it was still delicious and there was barely a grain of rice left when I'd finished.

For dinner I got a boxed meal from the Takashimaya food hall. I'd visited the place earlier in the day and had a few samples from some of the places. When I went back to get my dinner there was lot of discounting going on as the various places were looking to get rid of that days food. Unfortunately what I wanted stayed at its regular price.

I'm not actually sure how you'd described what I got. There were a lot of vegetables and it tasted really good!
