Foodie Walk

I am in love with the street food and I haven't even eaten it yet! Everywhere I look there are bento shops, sushi-ya, udon and soba joints, curry and beer. I made the mistake of eating on campus today and had another run in with Konnyaku pieces in my salad. It wasn't that bad, but I missed out.

Food for the day:
Sakana "set" Bowl of rice topped with fish (snapper?) with salad of eggplant, white beans, konnyaku. Also came with tea, soup, seaweed salad.













Konnyaku-please click to zoom in. I got a good high-res pic of this strange substance. Lunch was alright, but the best part was that I saw on the menu that Waseda has its own brew of beer and they sell it on campus. Our country is screwed up.



On my food walk of shame from Waseda to my station, I saw a sushi place that had great deals under 1000 yen (10 dollars) of sushi and udon. Maybe get a little japanese beer too.
There was an udon shop that smelled heavenly. Udon bowl goes for around 300-400 yen. Next I stopped at a vending machine and got Asahi Fire Black. A little shot of black coffee. The also had Asahi African Black Coffee but thats just not nice. I am getting addicted to vending machines and convience stores. They are just so shiny and tempting with all kinds of new things to try. In the winter I need to get Oden at a convienence store. It's assorted stewed seafood, eggs, and rice balls.














Moral of the story is don't eat on campus, but around it. Next time I'll have a more exciting story but at least I captured the elusive konnyaku on camera.
