Food in Japan

Have I told you how much I love Japanese food? The food is always presented so artistically which makes it all the more appetizing. Even the dishes are carefully chosen for their colour and shape to match the food. To my left is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had - the Japanese breakfast at Benesse Island in Shikoku. It's the usual miso soup/fish and rice combo but there's also egg and other lovely dishes. Below is one of the best sashimi platters I've ever had - at a ryokan in Miyajima. The sashimi was the appetizer, there were plenty of main courses as well such as hotpot, tofu etc. The portions are usually modest in Japan but that was one meal where I was totally stuffed...
