Ice cream choices at a street stall included bean curd, unpolished rice and sweet potato, plus more typical flavors. I got rose flavored ice cream which was pink and tasted exactly like a rose smells. We had a traditional lunch of tempura (deep fried veggies and seafood) at a restaurant yesterday (see picture), and at last night's official welcome reception I tried eel (cooked) and squid (raw.) I also had green tea cake. Although those weren't my favorites, there was plenty of other delicious food, including kobe beef, chili shrimp, sushi, and noodle dishes. Apparently the price tag for each participant, paid for by the Japanese government, is $20,000. With meals like this I can see why! We are all feeling very grateful...
