January - February 2011; Japanese food trip ♥

After completing my HSC at the end of Year 12 in 2010, I together with two of my friends went to Japan for three weeks from the 13th of January until the 2nd of February just before University was about to start.

We went to Japan to explore and enrich our young minds ;)

... but in reality it became a food trip! ♥

Japan has a rich and vibrant culture,  despite the hustle and bustle of the busy city streets of Tokyo, embedded within the modernity of the city is the cultivated Japanese culture of food.

Everywhere we went, delicious food tempted our hungry stomachs.
Mum wasn't around to cook us food so it was inevitable that we would spend our money on feeding ourselves right?
In the end, it was very much worth it. From Japan's fast food chains to its' convenience store food, everything was tasty, an abundance of delicious food was everywhere.

First night in Japan, had a Hamburger steak with chips, tempura and rice. This was amazing :)

This particular type of food mixes Japan's culture with Western-type food.

       Apple and chocolate wafer ice cream parfait.

Believe it or not, Japan has a deep love and appreciation for pretty looking desserts! doesn't it look wonderful?

This is called 'Hayashi Rice' with extra egg . Hayashi rice is a very popular Japanese dish with a western twist. It is sliced pieces of beef in a special marinated sauce drizzled with some special Japanese infused mayonnaise! This stuff is divine! Can't you guys tell by the photo I took? DELICIOUS!

Japanese supermarket snacks anyone? All this, so good! satisfied our cravings! FOOD IN JAPAN IS EVERYWHERE!! Shows the prevalence of food in Japanese culture :)

Japanese Styled Parfait infused with the Japanese flavour of red bean! YUM!

HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED AND REALISED THE FOOD IN JAPAN IS DELICIOUS!

Til next time! xo.
