Okay, finally here's some of the food out here. I love street food! Japan has its own unique street food delicacies, especially okonomiyake (like a Japanese style pancake made with cabbage) and octopus balls. I'm not the biggest fan of the fishier tasting street food, but we had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the wide variety at the street market in Ueno Park.
Deep-fried spaghetti, then seasoned with sugar and soy sauce. Eh, interesting, but not my thing.
Oden -- various fish cakes and stuff in this soup. We have yet to try real oden, but they have it everywhere, even in the local convenience stores.
This is a potato carved out into a crispy long strip. They season them with a variety of different toppings. Like French fries, I suppose.
Grilled fish. Didn't try this but it looked interesting!
My okonomiyake -- not really my thing, much too fishy!
Deep-fried green tea mochi -- now this is good!
Skewers, skewers, skewers!
Deep-fried sweet potato fries -- so delicious! Why don't we have these in America? The Japanese are obsessed with potatoes. They love boiled potatoes with mayonnaise. I don't get it.
Stay tuned for our adventures with whale meat! (I hope to gross Jason out, so keep reading. :))

If you like okonomiyaki, you just have to go to Okonomi-mura in Hiroshima.
