My Family and Japanese Food

12/26/2017

My impression of my last trip to Japan can be expressed in two words,"very full." My family and friends often prepared rich foods in order to welcome my return, and I also prepared rich local dishes for my hosts. Food was like a token of love in the country, where people do not verbally express it. My stomach and heart had gotten very VERY full.

Yoko, I look at those pictures and see Pure Love from the bottom of their hearts!
Thank you for sharing, if only you could have shared the food it looks delicious!

Cathy,
Thanks for the comment. This evening I invited my friends to a Japanese vegan dinner. The first words I said to them were, "These are not typical Japanese dishes you will find in Japanese restaurants in America." I would not have offended if they did not like them. My worry was not necessary. They even tried smelly fermented soybeans called "natto." If you want to, I'll be more than happy to make a meal for you and Dan. Yoko
