Japan Trip 2010: It's all about 'Itadakimasu' and 'Oishii'!

7 June 2010
Beard Papa's Cream Puff. When I went for this trip, I had just finished watching Japanese Drama 'Absolute Boyfriend'. The cream puff looks so good in the drama that the first thing I need to stuff my mouth with upon reaching Tokyo has got to be creampuff! This cost ¥180. Totemo oishii desu ney!!!

Donburi for Dinner at ¥850 on 1st night in Tokyo. When raw fish taste so good, who needs the gas cooker?

Cold Soba Lunch at a restaurant near Hakone-Yumoto Station


Sulphur Egg at Hakone. We finally get to buy the egg at the gift shop next to Owakudani Station. Note: Kuro-tamago - a local specialty of eggs boiled in the hot 100 ℃ natural spring waters. The boiled eggs turn black and smell slightly sulphuric. Consuming the eggs is said to increase longevity. Eating one is said to add 7 years to your life. You may eat up to two and a half for up to seventeen and a half years, but eating a whole third is said to be highly unadvised.
