Food Glorious* Food

....The best part about travelling abroad is sampling-enjoying all the exotic food...being adventurous with food is a always a good thing...
.
~Take a look(and drool!~hee*) at what they have to offer:
.






This man is the owner of a Japanese restaurant in a small alley near the Hotel where we stayed...He and his wife run this tiny cozy restaurant by themselves!
Here are the delicious dishes he had prepared for us... By the way, we did not even look at the menu...we told him, "surprise us with your creations mister!"...and he did just that...
.
fabulous YUMMY* creationsss indeed...
.
This couple was so warm and friendly...
they bid farewell to us outside their tiny restaurant
~So SWEET & CHARMing!
.
...when I was not shopping, I loved to hang around the busy food department.
The smell and visual display were truly glorious!!!
alright-alright...I wasn't just hanging around, was busy munching my way through!
.
This is the basement of Isetan Department Store...
They dedicate the whole vast floor to food & beverages from all over the world...almost in heaven kinda feeling! Who's counting calories...certainly NOT me!!! ~Woo-Hoo!
.
~Great food should be enjoyed with new found friendsss...
I call this group my 'U.N Gang'(United Nations!) ...cos' they are from
all over the world- German, Mexico, Singapore, France,
China, Japan...& 'little me' from the U.S! (errr...not so sure about 'little' anymore my waist line is expanding! ~hee*)...No 'business talk' allowed at the table that evening! ~Yayyy!!!
.
"CHEERS to Good Living Everyone..."
~XOXO*
& yes...still Greetings from Japan Darlings!

I love the basements of every departement store in Japan. Usually they have food floors there. We name it "de-pa-chi-ka".
It's an abbriviation of a basement of a department store. We love abbriviations! Have a nice day!
