We ate lunch with one of Brandon's coworkers at a very nice Japanese place Friday.  Brandon ordered a "set" and got this wonderful presentation of a number of fun foods to try!  From the top left: not-sweet custard-like substance with meat and mushrooms (he wasn't too keen on that), variety of tempura (yummy!), tempura dipping sauce.  Second row: pickled seaweed, mackerol sashimi (raw tuna), bean sprouts.  Third row: Rice, pickled shredded veggies (to clear the palate), and miso soup (with seaweed and tofu).
