Display Food - These
artistic creations were present at the entrance of most restaurants. Although
the purpose of these appetizing looking plastic replicas was to attract
the Japanese public, they are actually a great help to tourists who do
not speak the language. Often, we simply pointed to what we wanted!

These cookies are called
Saku Saku Panda
which means "Crispy Panda".
Very
tasty!

Japan has a lot of fun,
tasty snacks in colorful boxes. This was one of our favorites. Saku Saku
Panda are delicious cookies filled with sweet chocolate and suprisingly
addictive! We ate boxes and boxes!
Special thanks to Arianne
for sharing her box and Yo kuribayashi for translating the Japanese name
to English.

Among all the tasty Japanese
food is many old American favorites like McDonalds, Wendy's,
Subway, KFC, Shakeys Pizza and Burger King.
The burger ad you see on
the right is for a Peppercorn and Potato Sauce Cheeseburger. I had
to try it. It was delicious!
