Earlier this week, we attempted our first homemade Japanese recipe: onigiri. You can see what onigiri is and how we did in the video below.
As a reference, onigiri you might get at a restaurant looks like this. So judge as you will.
Anyway, so for our excursion this weekend we went on a field trip with Christian's "Japanese Head Start" class he's been attending this week. We took a three hour bus trip to Hakone, Japan, where we visited Owakudani, an active volcanic valley where you can eat legendary..... black eggs! (More about that, and the story behind the legend, in the video!)
Then we went to a samurai museum, and ate at a ramen restaurant (no, not Top Ramen... real Japanese ramen is a lot better quality and has lots of delicious other things thrown into it!)
All in all a very interesting day, with a surprise ending 5 minutes before we arrived back at home! Watch the video below to find out more!
We are loving being here! Sadly, the recent solar eclipse was not visible from Japan, so we don't have any photos or videos of that. But we have been very happy and doing well!
Love you all! Stay tuned for more next week!
