There's a sushi place in Kyushu that has sushi cut from different parts of the whale. They actually have a diagram showing where the cut came from.

fantastic pictures

some friends and I were in Nikko this past weekend.....apparently a million other people had the same plans
We did notice alot of pickled items at the stores with alot of samples, tasty.

lotte's strawberry and orange milkis are pretty tasty.

thanks for the great information Torakis. I unfortunately don't speak or read Japanese and I'll be going home at the end of the month.
The good part is that I come back to Japan two weeks after that
and will try to go on some of these tours. -
there are quite a few places from beer to shumai to cheese and milk.
What part of Japan are you looking for?
do you wnat the tours in English or Japanese?
I'm in the Yokosuka area so something relatively close would be great. English would be preferable but my co-workers and I dont really mind if the tours are in Japanese.

Does anyone have information on factory food/beverage tours in Japan? I've been to the Kirin factory and I think there is also a Sapporo beeru tour but thats about it.

Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. Seems to me that most of the okonomiyaki I have encountered outside of Japan is the Kansai or Osaka style.
Some of the kakigori desserts, especially those with the sweet bean paste.
I agree, Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. I think that it would be quite attractive to the western palate (maybe a few alterations in the ingredients though like lots of beef )
I'd have to agree with you there dougery. I tried my first okonomiyaki yesterday and it was difficult for me to finish....too much veggies, it was like eating a big salad
-
the crab stuffed trout was delicious
-
great photos and great butcher story.

I wish I was still going to school at UH.

To add to the confusion, in Hawaii they seem mean black cod/sablefish when they say butterfish:
I know have had something billed in restaurants as "butterfish" which was certainly black cod.

Maybe I grew up in a strange household but I always thought all rice was supposed to be sticky so using the term "sticky rice" was redundant. Is this a mainland thing or do locals call regular rice, "sticky rice" too.
I tend to think of mochi rice when I hear sticky rice.

great review skchai, I've tried the crab croquette bento and it was really tasty. I haven't eaten at many japanese style restaurants so I don't know if this is common but Minato restaurant (near the King Street Times market) has a sweet potato salad which is similar to Imari's, I like it.

The Diners in Pearl City (in the shopping complex with Good Year sorry I forget the name) has good filipino food my co-workers say.
-
sorry, im not much of a squid person.....maybe i'll try it someday.
-
Everything looks delicious skchai.....well except the squid luau :)

Great trip report and photos.
Everyone has their own different tastes and you can review food any way you want, IMHO.

You have done everyone a great service with these detailed threads and I am sure that future readers (not to mention me) will greatly appreciate it.
Glad you had a great trip and arrived home safely.

There is alot of great writeups in the Hawaii forums by skchai also, everyone should visit.
great photos btw!

Hmm, I've only really eaten at golden coin and that was to try the chicken empanadas which I thought were tasty. I've tried great pork adobo from some place in the waipahu area (not sure where since the boss at work told someone to pickup food to eat).
-
But just as good as a snack is microwave very buttery popcorn with furikake on it... you can also mix in some rice crackers.
Akiko
furikake and popcorn, yum.

My mother always made fried rice using ketchup....quite tasty especially if there are slightly burnt pieces of rice.
-
I've seen salt in a little container that is kinda reddish in color, not sure what kind of salt was that though.

does anyone know where I can get kakipea with cheese around the senbei? I've had it once at a bar and it was delicious.
