My dd is on her way home from Japan at the moment. At her mother's
request, she took pictures of each plate of food that she ate. Some

In 7 days and nights in Japan, she ate sushi not once! She did say

Nod, nod. I hope they appear in a more-convenient format. What I
have seen thus far seems to require copying and pasting each url
in manually. Or maybe I am just not observant?

For some reason a lot of folks have the misconception that the only food
in Japan is sushi and/or that benihana actually resembles anything found
in Japan except of course benihana.

Yes, that is the way they're working thus far. It may be a pain, but
we'll transfer them to something, even if it's my hard drive and then
I'll upload them to something useful.

And of course, we're off to NYC on Sunday to visit her little big bro
(bb the younger) so who'll have time! She probably wiped the card so
she could continue taking pictures, so who knows how long the first
two batches will take!

You know that. I know that. Kid didn't know that. She and her
friend did know that if all else failed, they could live on noodles
for the week<G>. And the food at the Japanese New Year celebration at
International house had an interesting variety of foods that were not
the usual found in the US.

One of my friends lives in Japan. She grew up in the US, found a career
in Japan, married a Japanese man, had children and she is still there.


They eat a lot of pickled vegetables, rice, miso soup, noodles, fish.
What she dislikes, is packing lunches for her children. Here, we will
slap a sandwich together, but there, a child's lunch has to be visually
stimulating, a balance of color, form and style.

Very cool.

Tokyo is very rich in different types of cuisine.

Where did she go?

One thing I loved as strange as it sounds was their ever present corn
chowder.

Put the pictures in a free online album. Picasa is one of many.
Uploading is easy and fast. If I can do it, anybody can.

Same for me. My children's lunches included foods they enjoyed, it was
not ugly, but it was not a work of art, either. Their lunches are
called bento and my friend found this to be stressful. After a couple
of years, she began saving a few leftovers from dinner, then in the
morning she had to cook less, to prepare their lunch.

Sorry no, but you can try Googling.

I saw 1 recipe that looks OK.

In Japan it seemed to be a commercial restaurant product. I don't think
there is a meal in Japan that is served without soup. Its a nice tradition.

Ah, thanks. Never heard of it before. I've never visited and haven't
seen it on any Japanese menu here. I'm certainly not versed on
culture other than my own, but I had it in the back of my mind that it
was Koreans who had soup at every meal. It's more likely a tradition
in that part of the world... juk is Chinese breakfast soup, isn't it?

It probably began as a way to fill the belly inexpensively.

Yokahama and Tokoyo. Ghibli Museum (of course!) various temples, art
and history museums, tradition hotel, "fancy" hotel, normal person's
home, lots of malls.

Brought back a dried fish and nuts snack for her dad, as well as a
dried squid. He'll eat them.

For her mother, who cooks, she brought back a parasol and a Totoro hat
pin. Better than a t-shirt.

No not quite, I have only had this soup in Japan or in Japanese restaurants
here in the states.

The Japanese have a special way of adapting western tastes and recipes. I am
not sure of the origins of their corn chowder. As example their baked goods
are so much lighter than ours.

I especially like miso soup in the morning as served there. I make it
frequently.

Good stuff. I like the spices involved and their adaptation tastes good.
I make it a couple times/month from scratch instead of using those curry
roux blocks.

If you have a good recipe for it, please post it. Most recipes
start with those blocks.

Thanks! I don't think I'd wing this, because my daughter is very
picky about her Japanese curry!

Your first suggestion wasn't all that helpful. <g> However, I
enjoyed reading the history of Japanese curry on the S&B site. I
didn't realize curry consumption in Japan went back that far!

I am serious - if you look at the instructions on the box it basically says
to make a stew - chunks of beef potato, carrot onion - let is all simmer
than add the curry roux blocks.

4 cups steamed Japanese rice
1 onion
2 potatoes
2 carrot
1/4 lb Japanese curry roux
3 1/2 cups water
1/2 lb pork
Preparation:
Cut potatoes, carrots, and pork into bite-sized pieces. Slice onions.Heat a
deep pan and saute the pork. Add onion, potatoes, and carrots in the pan and
saute together. Add water in the pan and bring to a boil Turn the heat down
to low and cook for 40-50 min. Add curry roux in the pan and simmer for 10
min. Serve the curry over steamed rice.
*Makes 4 servings.

Okay. I don't have a box handy. Or wait! Maybe I do have an
ancient one. I think we used half of it eons ago. It wasn't to
my daughter's liking--meaning it doesn't taste like the Japanese
curry at her favorite restaurant.

might want to try that.
