Japanese Breakfast

I’ve been staying at my friend Lisa’s parents’ house for the past 10 days and every morning they’ve had a traditional Japanese breakfast, which includes rice, salmon, fermented soybeans, sliced eggs, and pickled vegetables. It’s quite healthy and a great way to start off a day, an very acceptable and amicable alternative to the monotonous taste of oatmeal and eggs. 

So when I arrived at the Westin Miyako in Kyoto, and I saw the “Japanese breakfast” on the menu, I couldn’t resist trying it, even if it was almost $40 after the service charge. To my amazement, it was very comprehensive and included lots of items that would take too much time, if I had to (or even the capability) prepare it myself. Unfortunately, I don’t know what each item I was consuming consisted of, but here are some pics of the morning feast.
