Tiny Dinner Creatures

Posted on Jun 19, 2010 in Japan, Odds and Ends

I couldn’t get on with my day till I posted just one more picture from dinner the night before.  I’m not sure what the official name of these little fellows is, but I call them “Tiny delicious crab friends that I eat as many of as I can.”   They are very, very small, as you can see by the size of the chopsticks.  I have mixed feelings about this, as I find them cute, and even a little frightened-looking.  But they are so good.  And there is something nice about eating all of them in one bite.  Like when I ate a bunch of ants on a dare.  And maybe a spider once.

Arrived!

My room for the next, uh, twenty hours?

So I’m all set up here at the Peninsula. And I have a smashing view of the Imperial Palace. More later – its only about twenty minutes before I meet everyone downstairs to go to dinner.
