A plate of fugu, the deadly puffer fish. I am still here to tell the tale so the poison was successfully removed. The fugu was cooked in a hot pot style, called nabe in Japanese. We also had some of it raw.
This is a bowl of udon noodles served with grated mountain potatoes. Having this on top of a mountain after a spot of hiking was particularly welcoming.
