皆さん, こんにちは! Minasan, konnichiwa! Hello everyone! 🍀
Since Japanese people often eat other things than we do in Germany, I'll show you today what I eat hear during the day.
Before I go to my internship, I make myself porridge for breakfast. However, as I find a simple oatmeal quite boring, I spice it up with chocolate, peanut cream, cinnamon and fruits:
On my free Monday I made it into a "ritual" to have breakfast at a sweet café that I discovered on my first day in Kyoto. It's called "Hibi Coffee" and they have a great cheese egg toast. 😋
For lunch at the gallery Tomoko (a co-worker) brings something she made by herself. Most of the time she brings Bento boxes, in which the rice balls have such cute faces, like here:
When I'm at home in the evening, I usually cook something simple, like pasta. Often the staff from the gallery eats something together. Yesterday I was invited to a birthday dinner. The menu was quite special and I do not even know what was on my plate most of the time. Some things were really delicious, but with a few things, I really had to overcome myself to try them. Here are a few insights:
I will try to tell you what it was.
Crabmeat with a root. Although crabs are not really my taste, I found that really delicious.
Fried potato balls. These tasted like croquettes.
Mushroom soup with fish. A kilo from this fungus is supposed to cost 100,000 yen. That's about 850 Euros. 😶
Sashimi. That is raw, sliced fish and it was really delicious. Only the shrimp was not my taste. The eyes and legs were too scary.
This course had a pudding-like consistency, but it was not sweet and also not my taste. However there were pickled cucumbers, which tasted good.
Fish (obviously 😉).
Beef. My favorite of the evening.
Pasta with soup. Both were served cold and the noodles were dipped in the soup before being sliced.
Fig (caramelised) with grapes, raspberries, blueberries and matcha pudding and tea. The pudding itself was not really sweet, but served with a syrup that nicely rounded off the last course. 😋
The taste experience here in Japan is definitely exciting and there is always something new I can try. It doesn't get boring and we will see what will end up on my plate in the future.
次回まで! Jikai made! See you next time. 💕
