| Sharp! I'm not sure I want to put anything sharp in my mouth... |
|
Dango is grilled, terriyaki rice dough balls (kind of like mochi). Unfortunately, I didn't particularly like the sauce. |

Fuji Cookies - a very tasty shortbread cookie shaped like Mount Fuji |

| Kimu-tama. Kimu = Kim Chi, Tama = Tamago (Egg). Basically a kim chi pickled egg, but it wasn't that pickled and it wasn't that spicy, it basically tasted like a pretty standard soy egg to me, perhaps with a little (but not enough) kick. |

| Here is some fresh steamed manju. The sign reads fukashi tate manjyu, but I only know what manju is. Under that it reads tsubu-an and koshi-an, which means chunky beans and smooth beans (azuki red beans that is) and the last word is dore-demo but I don't know what that means either. The price is ¥70 each or ¥200 for three. These were awsome hot and put the packaged ones from yesterday to shame. The two types were distinguishable by the logo on top. |
|
Another latte drink. |

 |
| Wasabi ice cream. It's cold and sweet so it tastes pretty good, but if you eat it too quickly, the spiciness from the horseradish catches up and overwhelms you. |
|
An example of the fine wood work mosaic that Hakone is known for. |

| A Subaru Forester STi. Wish I could get a STi version in America but oh well. |
