Pitaya

hello.

do you know "Pitaya"　?
well, i didn't know this name.

i knew the name, "Dragon Fruit"　.　
it is called it because it looks like dragon scale.

have you ever tried this fruit?
it is first time for me to try this fresh fruit.

it is the fruit of Hylocereus (one of cactai.
Hylocereus is native to central and south america.
the size of this fruit is as same as avocado.
inside is like this...

WHITE flesh!!! with seed looks like sesame.

it has mostly no taste.
it wasn't bad, but it wasn't delicious.
pitaya which sell in japan is not sweet,
because it has to keep long, so it is harvested earlier.
that is why it is not sweet.

however, in some asian countries, you may find sweet pitaya!

wanna try it!

i ordered many food, and it is difficult to explain all of them,
so i'm gonna introduce the food which i impressed with.

when i entered, i got this tea.

the clerk said "it is good for health to drink this tea before you start eating!"

and i ordered UME-shu(plum wine),and got Otooshi(table charge)

what do you think this food looks like ball?
i was very surprised that the clerk told me
it is "nikujaga"(simmered meeat and potatoes).
minced meat is inside and covered with mashed potato.
it was really nice and so cute!

these are some food which i ate.

i also enjoyed "GariGari-kun sour"

whole GariGari-kun is in the sour.
i hesitated to order it(because it is silly), but i tried.
it was nice and kinda frozen drink.


and lastly, when i'm about to leave, i got this.

"Furikake"(seasoned dried food) with some message. i sometimes get candy or gum. but i've never got "Furikake".
