Food

My apologies for not posting in a very long time. Instead of facing the daunting task of writing a post about all my experiences during my study abroad in Japan, and my weekend excursion to Beijing, I've decided to make a silly post about food.
Warning: some of the pictures may be kind of gross.
I was offered some sort of jelly eaten out of a leaf by a Diet member's (Japanese congressman) staff.

This is Bisli, the popular Israeli snack, but in Japan. It goes for about 150 yen.

This is a noodle soup from a vegan restaurant in Kyoto.

Only in Japan would you find such a thing as this:

Can you guess what this sign says?

It's "Starbucks," in Chinese.

This one should be obvious:

This is some very sour fruit on a stick I got in China. It's pretty good.

And in China, this is considered to be food as well:

Some interesting Japanese inventions:
1. The Soy milk and Edamame bagel

2. The Square Watermelon. Sounds great, until you take a look at the price tag: $150.

3. Some weird Japanese variation on the cake

And finally, that cheap peddler of crappy food, Colonel Sanders, in traditional Japanese garb.
