Hot Pot

After shovelling plate after plate of goodies into the pot of boiling broth only a few minutes were needed before the feasting began. The pot was divided into two halves: the spicy side and the plain side...and spicy means pretty spicy. For the meat-eaters there was finely sliced beef rolled up like cigars. And for veges we had: lotus root, potato, enoki mushrooms, spinach, tofu skin, tofu sponge and vege balls...the latter being my favourite!

Everyone had their own bowl of dipping sauce and chopped corriander, and a glass of beer to wash it down. Everyone was stuffed by the end and there was still some food left on the table. Only those who stuck to the spicy side had to contend with "hot pot belly" the next morning.

Sounds like ya having a ton of fun and some great grub. Can't wait until your over here in Tokyo. But bewared when eating out in Tokyo the vegetarian option usually means fish or a little less pork.
