Special weekend edition: Recent Healthy Dinners

Yakiniku (monbetsu): ¥2800 (~$35) include two beer. Raw chicken necks; raw beef tongue; raw pork belly with spicy sauce; raw chicken cartilege.

With Yakiniku, you recieve raw meat and you then grill it at the table. The chewy chicken cartilege was very high quality at this shop.

Soup curry Samurai, Sapporo: ~¥1300 ($15). Coconut base soup curry, level 6 out of 10 spice, with assorted veggies, rice with charred cheese and karaage.

This soup curry shop was really delicious. The burdock root in the soup curry was amazing.

Miura Karaage Teishoku (Monbetsu): ¥800 (~$10 at current exchange). Rice, pickled daikon, absurd quantity of white meat fried chicken, cabbage salad, miso soup with wakame and tofu. If you're lucky, tea afterwards.

Somewhere in  Sapporo: ¥1200 (~$15) Tempura Don/Soba bowl combo. Tasty but super greasy. Conbini woulda been better.

Somewhere in Yubetsu: ¥850 (~$10) Karaage Teishoku. White rice with grated umeboshi (sour salt-pickled plum); pickled daikon and carrot; cabbage salad with tomato; chawan mushi; reasonable amount of karaage; miso soup with wakame, tofu, green onion.

I've been eating out a bit more than normal i guess. It's all delicious and not very healthy (at least in terms of the number of calories I'm eating).
