The picture is actually of a Kodama Rail Star train from Hiroshima because the shot I got of my Nozomi 700 Series Shinkansen from Hiroshima to Tokyo didn&#8217;t turn out well.<br \/>\n<\/P><br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nOn arriving at Hiroshima, I met with Professor Hidetsugu Nanba (\u96e3\u6ce2 \u82f1\u55e3 \u5148\u751f) for a very, very nice dinner.  We ate at a place called \u304d\u3063\u5ddd, proprieter \u5409\u5ddd \u4fee\u5e73 (Kikkawa Shyuuhei).  It was a fresh seafood restaurant, small, and with a very nice personable atmosphere.  Every dish is described and explained by Mr. Kikkawa before you eat it.  I really enjoyed the dinner, it was just excellent.  We also had a nice local Sake with the dinner, \u96e8\u5f8c\u306e\u6708 (Ugono Tsuki).<\/P>  <\/p>\n<p><P>The first course was a nice Sashimi, and then there was a baked fish and a stewed fish?  There was a great tempura course, and as Mr. Kikkawa explained, the anago (conger eel) was caught earlier that morning by Mr. Tiger, a famous Anago fisherman in Hiroshima that has been catching them for 40 years.  It is said that he catches the most delicious Anago.    It certainly was delicious.<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><br \/>\nThe next course was a soup with many interesting things, mostly mushrooms and oysters, but there was also Fugu.  Yes, Fugu.  The namesake of this site, which I&#8217;ve been running since about 2000, but of course I&#8217;ve wanted to try Fugu for much longer than that.  Maybe I first heard of it in 1996, in my first long trip to Japan.  So, I had the Fugu, and it was delicious.  Now, do I have to buy the domain FuguTabeta.com??  (FuguTabetai means &#8220;I want to eat Fugu&#8221;, FuguTabeta would mean &#8220;I ate Fugu&#8221;.)<br \/>\n<\/P><br \/>\n<P><br \/>\nSo if you are ever in Hiroshima, I highly recommend Kikkawa.  The phone number there is (082) 241-0002, but you had better know Japanese if you call there.  It is a small place, so reservations are recommended.<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n<div class=\"clearer\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday evening I took a train from Tsu to Nagoya, and from Nagoya to Hiroshima on a Hikari Shinkansen.
