東京は夜の7時 : 夕食

With such great food in japan it seems easy to eat health most time?? or isnt it that easy? Id have to try and stay off the Ramen!

that looks pretty good~
i'm getting sick of the food here in vancouver.

I enjoy these little slice of life articles and the accompanying outdoor photos

aah.. I remember back in Israel, it would be 10 in the evening and the sky is just gonna be like what it is on your photo.

Hehe the long evenings you talk about are already finished after the "heatwave week"

now its back to being a ninja in the darkness ^^

My gosh that's pretty... The food I mean.

Taiga looks like she'd kill anyone who tried to take a bit of that.

Yeah how do you stay so thin? I would get super fat off the Ramen/Tempura. Working in the tech field its so hard to get exercise (moving servers don't count).

That dish looks really interesting and good to eat. I'm not a huge eggplant fan but I would defiantly give it a try.

Did not know that it got dark so early, gorgerous looking dish.

I have never seen evening at 10pm.

It's said that a fish is good for health.

Methinks I should eat healthier too... just let me finish this box of chocolates and bags of chips first...

I dont think there is really american food.We mostly steal stuff from other countrys.

The evenings are long here in Mexico too. There's still daylight outside at 21:00. The food here is pretty good too.

*stares, the portions are sooo small!
man,we chinese can really gorge ourselves out. not that i am complaining ^^

Eggplant - yummy! Mm, that gives me the idea to cook moussaka (greek dish w/ eggplant) for supper, or maybe some ratatouille!... Except that they're terribly time consuming to cook. You have to drain the water out of the eggplant first, and it takes forever! (at least, it feels like forever, though my patience is equal to that of Sonic the Hedgehog's)

It seems like you have a lot of tasty fast food options over there, compared to the usual burgers, chips, tacos and chicken that's par the course for here. Is there a lot of different cuisine readily avaliable in Japan? Here, if I had a craving for Indian, or maybe Greek food, I'd probably have to try a restaurant, since fast food of that sort isn't very common.

Ah funny I also make myself dinner right now typical Japanese... yeah just Yakisoba out of the package with salad -_- (reality can be bluntly cruel)!!

That looks delish. It's lunch time right now... and still need to eat... :)

Wowz, the eggplant actually looks good... (Always had bad experiences with eggplant)

And now.. time for lunch (Not Eggplant for sure :P)

tummy rumble =_=;/

Here...in summer the sun is still with us until 8.30 pm.
The food is delicious but a bit expensive.

However, what's the mean of dindins? I have learnt a lot of 7pm in Tokyo but i have never asked what it means. Incredible xD.

I sometimes lose track of time because it's still bright outside even though it's so late. It gets really bad when I'm reading.

Yummy.

One think I am not so good at is that kind of Japanese food :) It looks great and delicious but there I am looking at it and wondering why my body is not so happy with it .... call me crazy but I am fighting uneven battle with some "evil" vegetables most of my life :(

Yummy food you got Danny^^
Here too at 8 the sky is still bright

Fish should be good too lol. I want some grilled salmon!

I have no idea what I'll be makign for din din tonight. Probably perogie's with keilbassa (polish food, YAY!)

I was just in London last week. It's amazing that at 10 PM the sky is still bright!

The latest it ever gets in Australia is about 7 in Brisbane. During Winter, which is the time now, it gets dark at about 5. Not too much variation, so the idea of 10PM evenings is kinda bewildering still!

My aunt always says Japanese foods are healthy... But here in my hometown they're very expensive... >,<

Taiga-chan seems annoyed at the food somehow... :3

Great, I just ate KFC so now I feel like a fatty in comparison. xD;

Hm, that eggplant/prawn combination intrigues me...I wonder what kind of sauce that is.

Fabrax, 'dindin's' is a slag word I guess for Dinner.
Not sure where it came from.... sort of like 'breaky'
Not sure if its English or America....

anyway, thought I'd fill you in.

Your lucky also, living in Italy, they have good for there to... maybe not always as healthy.

Im enjoying finding Asian grocery stores here and buying stuff from them.. but its mainly alot of chinese imported stuff. I want to find packet Oden, but cant.
Did see some wygu beef, but it's was so much and too expensive for me to buy just to have a bit and not eat the rest (id have to have it for breaky, lunch and dindins).... maybe oneday.

I so want to move to Tokyo! After the film "Tokyo!"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1qzGPOXjQk), I've set up a dream to visit that city.!

the "long nights" are over quickly here in my country - technically it's still summer, but we've been battered by a succession of storms, so the darkening skies after 5 get even darker with the masses of rain clouds....

oh, i LOVE eggplant. it was one of the veg dishes i learned to love really early as a kid; we have some killer preparations for it. when done Japanese-style i often enjoy it with a dollop of kewpie mayo (not very healthy, i know).

i love the photo of the city in that long dusk period.

not a big fan of fish but do like to try new dishes ^^

Danny, what were your ISO speed, aperture, and exposure on the first picture? I assume this was with the LX3. Film mode?

beautiful picture . . . I so so love the town and country shots I took while in europe years ago
Now I have all of your lovely images to graze across my computer screen while I wait for my work to process "lol"
thank you danny

Japanese food pictures is always good for me^^°
I want to go again to Japan for a great restaurant! I need Japanese food, there's only sushi bar in France, no Tonkatsu or something else..T_T

lol. you just ate that?

Me like prawns, but me no like eggplant.

it'll be easy to take-away foods to those who live in that apartment.

"Healthy food" in a restaurant is rarely as good as it is at home, made from ingredients picked up at a super market. Though if you don't have the time it makes sense to try and find these things in a restaurant.

What you need Danny, is a personal Italian mom to shop and cook for you. :P
(downside is after while she'll demand you start shopping instead and make you run errands for things like eggs and cheese)

that looks yummy.. * stares at cereal bowl * sigh LOL

lol Taiga looks like she want's to take a swim in the food rather than eat it...

oooh~~ i love eggplant

DARN - That building on the left is awfully thin!!!

I hate that its so light this late in Summer... I like when it gets dark before 6pm and isn't properly light untill 8:30am. Right now, as Danny says, long evenings... not completely dark untill 10pm at least... and then its only dark for like 6 hours untill it starts getting like again.... HATE it. I'd like to have a holiday in the place that stays dark all day long... forgotten where exactly it is... think its northern europe somewhere...

Awww man, that food looks soo yummy.

Annndddd..... That figma is absolutely adorable! I like the super hero cape on it.

Today I was lazy so I ate McDonald's for dinner...

;_;

2 prawns and 1 eggplant. only that much or are extras free? (i guess not)
i'd have to eat some 10-15 of those stuff to reach some 2/3 of my capacity. i'd be hungry the entire night if i only got that much.

I think I would go broke cause of the small portions, I would have to order like 3-4 orders at a time to fill up. DAMN YOU AMERICAN WAY OF GIANT FOOD PORTIONS!

Is the black one the eggplant?

That dish still looks unhealthy. All the oil on the side...

A girl told me once that asian people are smarter because they eat more fish. Fish give you brain power. I eat more fish but my brain is not more powerful. Actually got weaker, lol.

looks dee-Lish.

veggies! Hopefully a delicious and healthy dish. But still don't get why lotsa Jap veggie dishes are fried.

aw well things are shaping up well where i live not!

egg plant and mokona?

Itadakimasu!

Wow bright at 10pm in the UK... That's pretty cool...

I think the time the sun sets there in Japan is similar to Australia.

Woooo hooooo...this be my "100th" comment.......Well it ain't such a big deal but Woooohooooo!!

Anyway i never experienced darkness after 10pm, coz it be really wierd if that happens around my country.

The thing i noticed about japanese food is that no matter how simple the food may be, presentation of the food is always important. Around here where i'm currently located,it's impossible to find Japanese food. I'd have to travel quite a long distance to visit my favourite Japanese restaurant. hehehehehe which is actually across the border of another country >.<

Here in NZ it gets dark at 5... damn winter.. so hot too ;/

Here it gets dark at about 9:30-10 ish these days but gets dark super early in Fall and Winter
