iwate-tokyo

We were thinking about trying wanko soba but 4100 yen per person seemed a bit steep, so we just decided to hang out in the air conditioned mall in the station.

I bought myself a sandwich from Tregion Deli.

They had different sandwiches made with popular food items from different Tohoku areas...

The Iwate...used ja ja miso (from their ja ja men), chicken "ham", cheese and pickled red cabbage...I enjoyed this!

Satoshi bought a bento with uni (sea urchin), ikura, kaki

This trip, "someone" forgot to bring his meds...thankful we didn't run into any problems!

Since the beginning of the year?! the Tohoku Shinkansen has been having malfunctioning problems...our trip back to Tokyo was no different, we were just lucky that it happened at Ueno and not mid-way...

We want to go back to check out the areas north of Miyako.

Even though it has been 14 years since the big earthquake and tsunami, they are still rebuilding.

Thankful we were able to experience this area.

Hope you enjoyed this adventure as much as we did.

  1. I guess that Wanko soba is very similar to a dish that I've been eating at Honke Owariya in Kyoto. They bring soba in 5 tiered boxes and a tray of various toppings. Hourai soba? I think it was under 3000yen.

    1. V, your dish at Honke Owariya looks more "worth" the 3000 yen :) Take care! kat
