On Wednesday evening I went to dinner with my friends from Osaka University. They took me to a Chinese restaurant way up on the top of a skyscraper with an incredible view of Osaka. I would say some of the things in the restaurant may be traditional Chinese but this was definitely Japanized. Our meal was served in many small courses. I would say the flavors were quite bland compared to what you would find in China but it was pretty tasty.<\/p>\n

First course was a variety plate containing some barbequed pork, jellyfish, some kind of roll with vegetables and rice, and I think the fried piece was chicken.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Second course: Shark fin soup. Not nearly as good as the shark fin soup I’ve had in China.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The third course tasted pretty good. A piece of fugu was accompanied by a scallop, mushrooms, and baby corn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For our fourth course we had a lightly battered and fried shrimp served with pineapple and a beef and vegetable dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>These steamed delights were our fifth course. They looked gorgeous and tasted so so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Another soup to top off the meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Finally we had dessert. It was some kind of mango pudding I think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And me and my hosts. Professor Mishima on the right and Professor Ohshima standing next to me on the left.<\/p>\n
