The Kings came to Japan

Pastor King and son Joe from Maryland came for a two week visit in mid-July. 

Their first Sunday here we had sukiyaki for lunch.  This is a Japanese dish cooked on the table in large frying pans.  It is thin sliced beef, cut up cabbage, leeks, onion, a clear noodle, and mushrooms with the sukiyaki sauce added and the whole pot is simmering on the table while your mouth salivates.  

This is a typical Japanese watermelon with a typical price-tag.  Put in a decimal point and add 20 percent.  

Monday night we went to the local Sushiro restaurant.  It serves individual plates of various sushi that comes around to your table via a conveyer belt.  Here Pastor and Joe are trying sushi. Joe had his first taste of wasabi.

 Those are bottles of Ginger Ale on the table and the stack of empty plates after dinner.  Each represents about $1.20
