A Formal Dinner

 Hello ladies and happy T day to all.
I thought I would do something different this week other than Japan photos, but I looked and I don't have any other photos  for T Day. So once again, I am going to show you some Japan photos. Hope you don't mind. :)

I will say that I ate so many different foods there, most that I didn't know, and I still can't tell you what they are.  Food for me  is one fun thing about traveling, especially to a place where food is so much a part of the culture and where I wasn't familiar with much of it. I took a photo of almost every meal I ate.
Today for T day I am going to show you this very formal dinner the owner of the school hosted for the teachers. 

The dinner consisted of lots of traditional local dishes.
 You can see I had a Japanese beer and a glass of water for my drink.

 I love how pretty the Japanese always make their meals.

I know this dish below is some various sashimi fish.

I have no clue what this was.  Anyone know?

 And plates are always small with just a few bites of food.

 This is Miyazaki beef. It is local roast beef and we were told it is often served at Academy Award parties. Whether they were just trying to impress us or whether that is true I don't know.

 And some Miso soup.  I don't actually know the order the dishes that we had. They just seemed to keep coming.

 And this melon had some sort of glaze.

And we ended with some matcha green tea in this drinking bowl and this sweet ending. I don't know what it was but it had  gel consistency. 

I'm linking up to this week's edition of T For Tuesday  over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog where Elizabeth asks that w link up a drink related post.

And all this Japanese food inspired me to make this page in my Japan Travel Journal. I used a sheet of origami paper with this tradition Japanese image as my background, layering it with some other origami paper. Then I added some newsprint (who knows what that says) as well as a couple of yen coins I brought home.

I will link up my page to Gills fun challenge over at Art Journal Journey.

Have a great day everyone.
