I'm missing a lot about Japan, including Japanese breakfasts. Here are some examples of what we enjoyed. These photos make my mouth water with longing.
Rice and miso, salmon, squash, tamago (a lightly sweetened omelette), greens with sesame, fruit - and not shown, tea

This interesting breakfast was what we received when we sat down at a small cafe in Kyoto. It was specially prepared for the Westerners - it's just what you got, no options. It was fun and good! The beverage options were tea or coffee. Tea was black, served with milk or lemon.
What a fun adventure you had! I do love breakfast.....
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting breakfast variety. Would love to try the pan fried tea leaves!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see the different meals. They do look good. You did a lovely job replicating the breakfast.
ReplyDeleteYUM! I enlarged the photos so I could ogle and drool over the Japanese breakfasts in more detail.
ReplyDeleteJapanese breakfast is always including the black tea, in fact i also prefer black tea instead of coffee, there is no doubt both are used as a good refreshment for the morning, but traditionally tea is more preferable by Japanese.
