Instead of powdered sugar they use this clear syrup!
A nice little Japanese-type breakfast.
One of the psychologists showed me a little bakery run by a Paris-trained Okinawan chef. It’s called the “Maybe Bakery” because the guy wasn’t sure if he wanted to be a cafe or a bakery
Hot canned coffee from a vending machine. The name says it all.
A giant daikon radish. I said to the old lady who was selling them “Totemo ooki daikon desu ne?” in my terrible Japanese. Which means, “That’s a really big radish.” Great convo, Joe.
Vending machines!
Some chicken, rice, and mushrooms from a “Sukiya” chain restaurant.
Ika and toro sushi (squid and tuna)
Burger, french fries, and tea from “Mos Burger” (a Japanese fast food place)
Went to a chain restaurant called Coco Ichibanya — menu in English and Russian!
Also at Coco Ichibanya, you pick your spice level. You have to eat a “5” before you can progress any further. I ate a “5.”
