Simple Fare
Sometimes, after a long day on the road and a few beers, Japanese comfort food just seems more appealing than anything else. This photo was taken at a robata-yaki shop in Kochi that we found late at night after checking into the hotel.
Yes, the fish are eaten whole. On a related note, the kitty ate two whole frogs next to a rice paddy today. The vet later told me that frogs are potentially bad because they have a lot of parasites. Maybe I should cook them next time.

It’s called takuan. Pickled horseradish. The juice it soaks in looks radioactive, but this is good stuff. A couple slices of takuan and a hot bowl of rice with green tea poured over it is a mighty fine meal when you feel like eating light.
