There are two kinds of people in the world: those who take photos of their food, and those who don’t. No points for guessing which category I belong to.
In a bid to manage the visual clutter of my phone, I realised that I have ten years’ worth of food photos that I took in Japan. It’s true how small actions taken consistently pay huge dividends over time since you can gain a comprehensive introduction to Japanese cuisine through my photos.

Taken at Tokyo Disneyland
Taken at Kanazawa
Taken at Yufuin. I didn’t enjoy this meal at all - ALL vegetables and no meat. Those on a carnivore diet will feel likewise.

Food is delicious 99% of the time in Japan. The ingredients are fresh, the flavours harmonise wonderfully with one another, and the plating is exquisite. And thanks to the depreciating yen, not so expensive as well.
This is the first like in my life I have given to food pictures, you can feel accomplished in life.
... I need this, I love soup and noodles too much..
lol thanks. I’m sure great things are gonna come my way since your like is hard to get!
Or maybe the universal karma will get re-equilibrated... to compensate the almost thermodynamical improbability of me giving a like for a food picture, the least thing that should happen is a world-wide level earthquake or something... I should have thought of that.. my bad..
It’s like how a butterfly flapping wings can create a tornado on the other side of the earth

Everything looks so tasty. But I think your wifes cooking is better. There was this old mom and pop restaurant I loved visiting when I was in Japan. I ate a lot of lunches there.
Mom and pop restaurant is replete with old-school hospitality and charm!
Yes, and somehow their mugicha was always very good.
