So, one thing I have learned about Japan is that it gets crazy hot here in the summer. There is so much humidity here! Surprise! I am on an island! No wonder! But now it is borderline crazy hot, and its not even halfway through summer...and Kumagaya is the HOTTEST city in Japan! I can't take it! Oh my lord! Even sitting in my apartment I am sweating. My word is it hot.
Well, that felt good to rant for a minute. Now I am going to discuss some of my favorite food here. Inari is like a tube of rice in fried tofu. It is so good! You can order it at sushi restaurants, or you can buy it at the convini (convenience store)!!! Yakitori is another favorite of mine. It is basically skewers of meat...but they are so good. Tori is the word for chicken but at yakitori restaurants they have a vareity of meats to choose from. Eating raw food is becoming more of a norm for me. The Japanese love raw egg. I have had it on many dishes, ranging from salads to Tonkatsu. Tonkatsu is another favorite...fried pork over rice, usually with an egg broken over top of it. It is so delicious, or as the Japanese would say oishi!
McDonald's even has some very traditional Japanese food that it serves with its oishi fries! The tereyaki burger is delicious. Also the shrimp burger is wonderful. They have the standard big mac but who wants that when your in Japan? It is overall wonderful.
Thats all for now, will write more later. Lots of love!
