If you haven’t read my first post about food in Japan (\u30ab\u30ec\u30fc\u30cf\u30a6\u30b9 Coco<\/a>), you probably don’t know that Japan and food are sharing quite a love story.
\nI’m not a food worshipper – I can stay without eating for quite long (in 2013 I fasted for 7 whole days without eating anything :p ) – but truth is: tasty food can drive one crazy *-*
\nTaste is everything. It’s not what is inside the food that is important, but how it is interpreted. That’s why the Americans are fat. Wouldn’t you agree?<\/p>\n

Anyway, Japanese food is really tasty. Of course I’m talking about what we could call “regular food”, not some special food such as natto<\/em>, which tastes… well… I don’t know how to describe it, but just so know: even some Japanese don’t like it. A local won’t tell you it tastes good, he’ll only say: “it’s good for health”. Come ooooon!
\nSo I won’t be talking here about this kind of special food, but rather about what we could define as normal.<\/p>\n

My level in Japanese being low, I cannot read kanji<\/em> (yet). Therefore, you won’t have the names of the dishes (I’ll do my best for the next ones). But I’m not sure you don’t even care, right?<\/p>\n

As you can see, it looks pretty tasty.
\nA lot of shops display their courses\/meals outside using fake food that looks very, very real (it’s art!). Like you’d like to take a bite.
\nHere is an example:<\/p>\n

Having a meal is usually cheap. You can have something decent (and feel full) from 450\u5186 to 800\u5186. And for 800\u5186, you get something really big, usually a set. I’d say that the average price for this kind of dish is around 650\u5186. A price that would make you eat every day outside… :)<\/p>\n

Of course there is more expensive, but that will be in another article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
