nice...i think the "food court" is one of the traditional favorites. all children of the earth love takoyaki.

You got that right. It was the longest line for food and most of the people in line were teenagers. It was my first time eating takoyaki, and I must say, it's soooo yummy. :drooling: I've never seen it served in restaurants before.

i remember last year, waiting in line for some food at the Japan expo, i forgot exactly what it was, i think some mochi and tea.....about a 30 min wait...

I almost got some Takoyaki at Mitsuwa today, but decided not to get it from the bento food area of the market.
The Takoyaki that i had in Kyoto, was delicious!....Nishiki Market. :applaud:

dood i bet! as i mentioned i think takoyaki is a kansai specialty so i can imagine eating it in Kyoto was a memorable experience. :)

i can only imagine how delicious it was...given the japanese penchant for good tasting food....i envy what must have been a tasty dining experience.

all things considered, i'm sure it was a fairly inexpensive...but more importantly....it tasted dayem good! those little things, often times, tend to be the most memorable experiences when indulging in the culture of another country.

I did end up going this afternoon, got really fascinated watching this Japanese woman that looked like she was about 130 years old (and she might have been!) doing calligraphy. :thumbsup:

I found a store called Miyamoto foods. Apparently one, if not the only, Japanese food store in town. I'll try to see what they have in store first.

just get me an old toyota pickup truck and a Ma-Deuce, and we're all set. :hehe:

:woot: Thank you.

Wondering if anyone went to this year's Japan Expo this past weekend. And, if so, how did it compare to previous years.

I didn't go this year. I'm a USC alumnus and there was a little football game that I was interested in watching on Saturday. I needed Sunday to take care of all the stuff I didn't get done on Saturday.

Did you guys really think you were going to lose to us, er, UCLA, two years in a row.... Especially with a duct tape and bailing wire crew at QB?

There's talk of Norm Chow being the head coach... That would be ironic. :)

For those that believe in planning WAY ahead, Japan Expo 2020 in October: http://www.jpexpousa.com/
