We saw loads of shrines both Buddhist and Shinto--so different and so amazing. I think we all agreed that we preferred the Shinto. I'll talk more about that in a later post.
Now I want to talk about food. I'm such a fussy eater that finding a place for me to eat wasn't always easy, but our daughter, armed with Google, did a great job. I'd told her how much we enjoyed Benihanas in Atlanta and she did her best to find something similar. What she found was a place where you cook your own food on a hibachi grill and she was the chef.
We ordered chicken, corn, shrimp and scallops. All of it was great, to say nothing of the fresh avocados we started with. Dinner was so good that we went back 2 nights later and did it again.
I scrolled through the pictures several times. What a lovely feast! Twice, no less.
ReplyDeleteI do like the idea of choosing and then cooking you own food. I am not surprised you went back.
ReplyDeleteI would love this type of eating out, too!
ReplyDeleteJanet, I am so happy you are feeling well enough to travel and enjoy all these amazing experiences.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteWell, the food looks interesting, but I don't like shrimp, scallions, etc. really not much seafood at all.
ReplyDeleteI miss Japan, we ate at some wonderful Yakiniku Restaurants.
ReplyDeleteWe eat everything and anything.
Happy to know you were fine to travel and had such a nice time with your daughter.
cheers, parsnip and badger
I have never cooked my own in a restaurant. It would be quite an experience.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful idea, it looked amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun and delicious, too. I've always wanted to visit Kyoto.

I developed real problems in Japan because I became allergic to soy, or it might have been a certain type of soy. I ended up living on plain rice and plain raw vegetables!
ReplyDeleteWow, that food looks wonderful! So glad you were able to visit your daughter in Japan. x
ReplyDeleteI'm the more adventurous eater in the family; my husband would have some issues finding places where he'd enjoy the food. Glad your daughter knows her way around.
