Well, if you don’t have a topic to talk about, you talk about the weather or food. In my case it’s about food again. Nothing new in the East so far. Lately I haven’t done anything I could mention in this blog or I don’t have enough for one entry alone. Many little things, yes, but they cannot be brought together thematically. Hence again a collection of food in Japan. Some commented, some not. There are also repetitions, albeit as variants.
After New Year I was with colleagues in a Sushi restaurant as one imagines the classical way, i.e. the food is led past the tables on a conveyor belt and you take what you want. But you can also order and then it comes reserved over the conveyor belt. Payment is made at the end according to type (colour) and quantity of plates. Here are some pictures of the various sushi variations and as you can see, my 4 person group was very active in eating.
I’ve written before that you can buy ready-made food as a single meal. By the way, this also applies to individual ingredients that can be put together, but I haven’t seen rice or really individually packaged vegetables yet. The picture shows a slice of breaded sweet potato next to a breaded meatballs. They are quite popular here and I will probably buy them back in Germany more often now.
This is pudding in a can to drink. And I mean, really pudding in a can and not like our well-known drinking yogurt. Unfortunately nobody had warned me that I had to shake the can a lot before opening it, to get the pudding sufficiently liquid. Was a little annoying to do that afterwards (However, this pudding is not so firm here either, you can also buy it normally in the supermarket).
This seemed strange to me, but as expected it turned out that it is a single packed meatballs to make a hamburger….. (Especially there is only Hamburg written on it…)
And I was at another ramen restaurant, I really enjoy them. By the way, the ramen is slowly becoming an export hit. In Germany there are also already some Ramen restaurants, as for example in Hamburg and Berlin. But what was also interesting was the drink Ramune. This is classic in Japan and a must in summertime. It is a sweet sparkling drink with a taste of citrus. However, the bottle itself is just as interesting. Even more interesting, however, is that this bottle uses the ball cap. Nowadays, this closure is only used for ramune and an Indian drink. You press the bottle in from above and must continue to press hard so that the liquid is not thrown out due to the carbon dioxide. After that you are free to drink;) Inside the top half is a glass marble. If you want to drink from the bottle, there are two small stop mechanisms on one side inside the bottle to prevent the marble from closing the bottle. On the other hand, however, not, so that it can be closed. To close it, simply use the other side when drinking, so that the marble closes the bottle opening, keep the bottle turned upside down and shake it. The (remaining) “carbonic acid” now builds up a pressure that keeps the marble in place and the bottle is closed. Of course, only works if the drink still contains carbon dioxide.
This is not really Japanese, but the Japanese have a very good donut chain called “Mister Donut”. A little more expensive, but quite good and some rather unusual creations for us. By this I don’t just mean the matcha taste that is everywhere (and good after getting used to it).
A bad buy on my part. It’s a coffee pudding. And I mean COFFEE pudding. They just increased the coffee consistency. The coffee cream was also included……
I was with colleagues in a yakiniku restaurant. Translated, this means “grilled meat”. We were able to order all kinds of meat or side dishes, which we then grilled ourselves on a grill embedded in the table.
