My Favorite Type of Cuisine?

Since this is my first official post, I would like to share which country's cuisine I like the best..and that would be...JAPAN. Why? I enjoy Japanese cuisine the most because there is such a variety of different types of food. Since Japan is comprised of separate islands and regions, each region has its own special dish. The different types of raw fish (sashimi) is apparently really healthy for you. Maybe all that sashimi is the reason why Japan has such a high population of senior citizens. There are so many types of Japanese food--from

sashimi to takoyaki. We even have our own version of sushi many are familiar with--the California Roll. Candy and snacks from Japan are also really yummy. My favorite is probably those cool soda ones that fizz in your mouth. I eat at the same Japanese restaurant almost every week and I still have not become tired of it. During my trip to Japan over the summer, I tasted many new kinds of Japanese dishes. Vicky and I stuffed ourselves with so much sushi that we were afraid that we were going to have "sushi babies." Anyways, the picture on the left was one I took in a restaurant at a traditional Japanese Inn. As you can see, Japanese dishes are decorated really nicely. I get really excited when I see sushi in my school cafeteria :).
