Recently I had the most amazing experience in a ryokan in Takayama, where they offered a specialty breakfast for delivery, prepared by a local lady who supplied bentos to several ryokans in the area (as they didn't have their own kitchen). I'm making — yep, yet another — illustrated book of my days in Japan, from the food perspective, like a little illustrated journal.
I would love your help to identify some of the little sections of my bento, because I want to add these explanations to this chapter's illustrations. Even if you got some fun facts you would like to share, I would be honored to include them 🙂
