Japanese Food

Most people see Japanese food as something strange and disgusting which is far from the truth. Japanese food is very simple yet filling and always comes with a nice presentation. The food in Japan is rather inexpensive for the amount you get. Sometimes this is not always the case and you pay high price for just a bowl of something. I found that most of the time I ate the food was rather cheap and I always got lots of it. The food was always presented in a decorative way with either a garnish on top or an interesting side dish to accentuate the main dish. In fact ramen was always very cheap and came with great presentation. I don't think I will be able to eat top ramen in the states ever again. We also went to a conveyor belt sushi which consisted of a bar with cups and small containers of tea lining the bar area with a chef in the middle and producing the sushi. Once seated you just grabbed what you wanted and the prices were set according to the plate design or color. Not only is there authentic asian cuisine there is also McDonalds, Subway, KFC, and even Burger King. I sampled each of these and they all had their own Japanese menu items to cater to the local population, and each of these items was delicious. There is also something known as the tower cheese burger which has 1o patties with cheese on top of each. I did try this incredibly larger burger, and let's just say it was very greasy and a few hours later my stomach was turning in agitation from it. Never the less I am in deep love with Japanese food and could never tire of the delicious taste, aroma, and visually appearance of every dish there is to order.
