If you have a chance, stay in a Buddhist monastery - especially any in Koyasan. Participate in all their ceremonies and try their cuisine - it is really worth doing so. We did it in July and it was a great experience. You can also try their Goma Dofu - something unique. Enjoy your trip!

This is actually the first time that I heard noodles being eaten cold. Anyway, I am not planning to travel to Japan anytime soon, but I would like to give Japanese food a taste. Perhaps, I can find one nearby and maybe I can ask them to serve me cold udon.

Yum! Yes I've had this a couple of times and also made a simple version at home, it's delicious. Good choice!

As the name implies, it is rice cooked in green tea instead of water and served with traditional pickled vegetables. Initially, the monks at Nara’s Todai-ji temple ate chagayu as part of the Omizutori festival, but eventually, it became a common meal consumed throughout the region. While in Nara, it is something not to miss to taste and enjoy.

Satiating, cheap in many spots and convenient as can be. I find myself eating it all over the globe, from Bali, to Thailand, to here in New Zealand. Amazing how ramen took the world by storm. Good for some carbo fueling too if you will be walking or hiking for extended periods anywhere. Thanks for whetting my appetite 🙂
