Back from Japan -- Grilled River Fish: A work of art.


The two weeks in Japan went about as I expected. I froze my ass off in drafty castles clambering around in my stocking feet because the slippers they provided were too small and would have sent me plunging to my death had I tried to wear them on my feet on the slick narrow castle stairs. The autumn leaves were stunning. Unfortunately, fucking Apple has locked my photos of them deep in their impenetrable iCloud where repeated efforts to apply the multiple passwords they inflict on the unwary have produced nothing but "blurt" They're still on my iPhone, however, so eventually I'll get them switched over to the iMac when Apple isn't looking and will then post a couple here (Success! Three photos have survived the posting process).

The photos of the fabulous meal at the hot springs inn in Nagano will either intrigue or mystify the neophyte traveler to Asia. The full menu appears in the first photo. Two samples appear below. The third photo shows how the fish and accompanying vegetables are presented on the table, looking like a flower centerpiece. The plated fish, which is eaten in its delicious, crispy entirity, head, tail, fins and bones, appears in the second photo.

This looks like a flower arrangement but it’s actually four river fish grilled on skewers and eaten whole, bones, crispy fins, tail and head. The plated fish can be seen below.
