  • I'm taking Saphir Odoriko from Tokyo to Atami and trying the private compartment which is extremely hard to book. The train is operated by JR East.

    Mysterious substance @ 2:44 looks to be hummus, with a bit of olive oil. Other mysterious substance @ 3:00 looks to be some kind of salad with quinoa and corn and....seaweed, maybe?

      I think this train is too high tech for me. I only have a minor in Japanese, and I can't understand the announcements. I wouldn't know how to book a restaurant reservation on this train. How would none Japanese speakers access the trains facilities. On a "normal" train, youd just walk to the buffet car when you want, and buy what you want. Why make life so totalitarian and confusing?

      I think it was hummus too. For your edification, STJ, hummus is made with chickpeas, olive oil, and tahini. So you were sort of correct in your guess that it might be beans. As for the corn mixture, I vote with those who are guessing quinoa. The smoked salmon looked very tasty. You had an excellent breakfast, especially for the price!

But, if I did, I'd DEF take a nice, long soak in an onsen before going back to Tokyo. Cheers for having way more willpower than I possess.

    Fancy eggs Benedict with Asparagus, but that was the most pale Hollindase sauce I have ever seen on top of it. Usually it is the color of egg yolks because it is made from them. Very strange side dishes to go with eggs bene. Quinoa salad ,hummus and salmon? When in Japan I guess.😘

    Not entirely sure, but the pile to the right of the eggs benedict looked like it could be either hummus with paprika on top, or possibly very fine ground grits. Grits is a more 'traditional' western breakfast option, but that didn't look like grits at all. The pile to the left looked vaguely like undercooked oatmeal...?

    The souflé pudding from Family Mart! I tried it when I was in Japan in November! It's really good isn't it? I also really liked the pumpkin pudding they had. While there we visited Bessho-Onsen, taking the electric local train from Ueda station. It was a nice little hot spring village. They have a super old hexagonal pagoda there.
    We also went to a The City Bakery (in Shinagawa) for breakfast but only took baked goods. The cheese danish was great. I'm guessing the salad with corn and wakame on your plate was quinoa.
