Japan Trip - Nov 2010 - FOOD

If anybody was to ask us about food in Japan, we can only say one thing. UDON! We had UDON everyday! The children love Udon. Each time we asked them what they wanted to eat, they would reply in unison - Udon! But it was not easy to find Udon. Udon was not as common as Soba, but it was definitely one of the cheaper foods in Japan.


our 1st udon meal in Japan. Osaka!


we had udon in Kyoto...


and Nara....

We managed to get them to eat other foods, such as saba fish with white rice, Tonkatsu-don, ramen. At times, we let them have their Udon fix, while we bought bento sets from the supermarkets. The supermarkets were amazing! I forgot to take photos. They sold almost every type of Japanese cooked food. They even sold cooked salmon, cod fish slices. We bought a piece of cooked salmon slice one day for the children. Yummy!


Ramen by the roadside at Tsujiki Market


our last meal in Japan. Saba Fish set...


Tonkatsu-don-Udon set.

And the two days in DisneyLand and DisneySea, we practically survived on BREAD and cookies! Butter rolls, Raisin rolls, butter cookies. and SWEETS! these kept them occupied while we queued for the rides.

To give the children some credit, they did try other food. more like snacks. it's either you like it or not. Mealtimes were also disastrous when they were tired.. :P
