One thing I so love about Japan (and soooo miss right now) is its food.
True that the usual Japanese food is an acquired taste - I did not like miso soup the first time I tasted it - but once you loved it, you will want more!
On our first day as Intra-company assignee, Kayumi-san (hay... i also so miss this guy. he was like our dad there) took us to Pepper Lunch in Fuchu City for lunch. When I had the first bite of the famous Pepper Steak, I knew we will be coming back for more. This is the meal/resto where I can eat almost everyday - this we almost did! :P
Japan is also the place where you can find almost any kind/variation of chocolate. They have a LOT - especially when it is Valentine's day. On V-day the girls usually give chocolates to their male colleagues and friends. But it was not V-day when we tasted the best chocolate ever! Kitayama-san gave us Royce chocolates as omiyage from his hometown in Hokkaido. This is the chocolate that melts in your mouth and also on your hands. LOL.
Pepper Lunch is already available in Rockwell. Royce store will open soon. How I wish I could frequent Rockwell so I could eat PL and Royce chocolates everyday - goodbye diet! :P
