Even though I’m not going to Japan – at least no time soon – reading about how you and your readers handle food when traveling, is so appreciated. And your pictures are wonderful, thank you.

Enjoy your trip. We gonna have some sushi rolls this week! A beto box is such a good dish to take with you. But anyway you don`t have to like it… 🙂

Me too, Trish! I find that when I travel…when I take a side road or a tall stairway to “nowhere”….I end up finding the most exquisite unexpected views. Yesterdays trip took me to an amazing temple where you could drink a cup of green tea amongst tree size bamboo. It was the most amazing place…so peaceful.

Rachel….Definitely reach out prior to your trip and I am sure to have lots of tips for you. The rice bowls have been working overall for me. There is a buffet in our hotel for breakfast–and there are a few items that work well. Simply baked breakfast potatoes, cheese, and fruits.

Food has been a bit tricky Esther…but I am managing. I don’t like sushi…and I wish I did!! Rice bowls are my go to–and I have tolerated them okay! I am glad I am missing the snow but hope my friends in New England are staying warm and safe@

Thank Paul! The Japanese have been so eager to help–and I have been so grateful. Eating has been a little tricky–oranges, bananas, rice bowls with chicken and egg, cheeses, rice crackers…some potato chips in a pinch! I found an Italian restaurant that I could do a slice of Margarita and salad with oil and vinegar. I like to be somewhat adventurous with food–but some dishes here honestly scare me!!

It was kind of a “coming out party” to compensate for the the years she was sick with undiagnosed fructose malabsorption. We kept the food simple over there – milk, cheese, oranges, occasional chocolate bars, and bakery bread. We stayed at a really great hotel across from the Shinagawa train station (apparently it was rebuilt after Godzilla destroyed it). The hotel concierge helped us check ingredients of the bakery products in the hotel’s bakery. We also had a short letter prepared by her Japanese teacher explaining her dietary needs in Japanese – we rarely used this.

Japan is a wonderful place to visit – exotic, clean and safe. We signed up for tours from the hotel so we didn’t have to worry about navigation. We learned how to use the subway. The Japanese are very polite and eager to help tourists.

Have a great time and take lots of pictures!
