We thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine of Japan. While most people are familiar with Americanized versions of Japanese food (think Kobe or Benihana steakhouses) the old capital of Kyoto offered superior offerings of the local cuisine. Although we spent a week in cities across Japan at that point it wasn't until we got to Kyoto we were able to have sushi. We enjoy sushi, but this was a whole new experience. At the Kyoto train station we fell in love with sushi on a conveyor belt. Packed with locals we were the only gaijins there the three or four days we visited. We couldn't get enough of this. In fact, we actually became regulars and the wait staff knew who were as soon as we walked in and knew our drink orders before we sat down! Biros! Funny how once you actually try to learn and use the language and customs how the Japanese warm up to you. Oyesumi nasai!
