Japanese Style BBQ

I had a fun weekend this weekend! A part of that weekend was going to a Japanese style BBQ on Monday. There were some fun differences that I really enjoyed experiencing. We had the BBQ next to the river in a town about 35 mins from my apartment. I didn't realize how popular of an activity this was! There were at least 15 other groups around the area that we were in!
Of course, the major difference here was the food that we ate. At a traditional American BBQ, we have hamburgers, hot dogs, and maybe some chicken sandwiches or bratwurst. Here, the main dish was fish, as I expected. Everyone shared the same big fish.

We also had yakisoba (fried noodles) as well as various meats and veggies. It was great. We ate all day, literally. I arrived at 12:30 and left at 6:30 and the grill was never cold. It was really cool. We cooked a lot of different foods and everyone had a little bit of everything. Not many people there spoke English so it was an adventure in and of itself just to try communicating with some new people. Still, I did it! It was a great time with some amazing people and food!
