Trip cuisines

In last few days I had been out for two trips - Ski tour to Rokuroshi highlands and Kyoto-Nara trip, both organized by University of Fukui. During this period, I had a great opportunity to savor special japanese flavors.

Ski lunch
A Japanese dish generally consists of a mixture of several items with most of it being served raw, but fresh. During the Skiing tour, we had one such dish consisting of spiced noodles, chicken and fish fries, radish, peas, cucumber, sliced cabbage, tomatos and green leaves







Kyoto dinner
The evening dinner at Kyoto was a traditional japanese style with all food served raw and fresh. A boiling jar is kept on the side of table, which is lit up by a camphor block. The meat with vegetables is to be boiled and taken hot with soy sauce. The other colorful items, in my obvious ignorance were gulped to get a truly exotic ambience.






Wheat dosa
This home-made dish is plain and simple without the abundant complexities of the above dishes. It is made by mixing wheat flour in water and an egg to form a semiviscous liquid which is then fried in oil on a pan. Though it looks similar to Chapati, it is soft and can be easily sliced with one hand.
