Your Pie, My Mouth: Random Photos from Japan

OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Random Photos from Japan

Pretty self-explanatory.

Chinese Ramen with shrimp wontons. Super great, and simple. This is from the Chinese restaurant in my hotel, Cerulean Tower, Shibuya. The restaurant is from Iron Chef Chen Kinichi. Sofaking good.

Oysters, Tokyo. Some random place. They were huge, but not bad. At least they were firm so you could chew. Had they been soft I might have puked. I rate these a thumbs up.

Deep fried.

Yummy

View from the hotel in Tamano, Diamond Setouchi Marine Hotel.

On the ferry to Naoshima. A very famous island off the coast of Tamano City. Some famous architect built the museums and there are famous works of art displayed as well. But the real attraction are the buildings. I can't really explain them well, so I won't. And they didn't allow photography, so there are no photos, so let's just say, if you are ever in this area, check this out.

I did take a few of things on the island that I could. So here you go.
