Host family reunion!

My adorable Japanese host grandmother (left front) made all of us beautiful Japanese bento lunches with lots of delicious tidbits inside.  The bento contents included rice with various toppings and wasabi sauce; grilled beef, pork and fish; sticky mountain potatoes topped with fish sauce and roe; simmered bamboo hearts, beans, tofu, asparagus, shaved root vegetables; and fruit.  After lunch, we had some green tea and dorayaki, which are two sweet pancakes that have sweet azuki bean paste in the center.
