JAPAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to Margie & Stan's Japan Adventure - our photo blog while living on MCAS Iwakuni in beautiful Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan from 8/2004 to present. My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

I LOVE this artistic sculpture in the center of one of the tables!


We all ordered lunch sets & this is our appetizer. Yum!


Stan's pizza arrived in a huge pastry puff!


The server begins to cut it - after asking if it was OK, of course. And it deflates . . .


She's an expert . . . and many other diners were watching this amazing transformation!


And here is his "finished" pizza - wow! That was VERY cool! He said the crust was light & crispy. And you can't even imagine how good these lightly salted, lightly toasted mushrooms were. We shared . . .


This is my seafood pasta with salmon ikura (roe) in a light cream sauce - perfect and one of my favorites! Julie ordered carbonara pasta with red sauce, but in all the excitement - I didn't get a photo. Oops . . .


And each lunch set came complete with drinks, soup, homemade bread & FABULOUS desserts - EACH was a little different, of course.





And yes - ALL were utterly delicious and satisfying! Just a bite of several yummy goodies & decorated with flavorful sauces.


Waddling outside, I found this beautiful pink daylilly. Don't think I've ever seen a pink one before.


And a perfect pink rose.


And look closely at the variegation of colors on this one. You cannot even IMAGINE how sweet it smelled here with all these roses blooming. It seems that ALL Japanese roses are bred not only to look beautiful and unique, but smell very fragrant as well!
