Nagano Encore

I think 20 photos per day was just not enough to fully convey how cool the trip was.  So how about a few more?  ^_^



Please use the link below to access the bonus Nagano album on my Facebook.

Returning from Nagano

I had an absolute blast with my good friends.  Nagano is an interesting place that was made into a special one because of the good group of people that went.

しゃべり場WaiWai / お好み焼き

由貴 was my guest today on the radio show, and for the first time ever, we spoke Japanese to each other.  It was a strange but good feeling.  I looking forward to being more fluent so I can chat in more depth in Japanese!



Doing the show always works up a hunger for me.  Okonomiyaki sounds good tonight because it is getting cooler!  Look at all the options!



I don't quite remember what this was but I think it is like pork and cheese.



And this one is a fusion called "The Italian".  I had to try it out of curiousity.  Did it taste Italian?  Yes.  Did it taste like okonomiyaki?  Yes. 



I should learn how to make this!

ひつまぶし

When Tammy visited Nagoya over a year ago, I had only been in Japan for a few weeks.  Wanting to be a good guide, I looked into must-eat items in Nagoya and took her to a famous eel rice restaurant.  But basically not knowing any Japanese at all at that time, we were not able to understand the explanation of our waitress.  I just vaguely remember seeing people at the adjacent table pouring tea into perfectly good eel rice.  Playing with food in a fancy restaurant?!

Today, with the coaching of good friends from Denso, I finally learned the right way to enjoy this famous Nagoya dish.  What a difference some explanation makes!  Pour, Gogo!  Pour!



Please use the following link to see a few more pictures of the outing.
