Rice, miso soup, broiled fish and takuan (pickled daikon radish).
These days, many Japanese have fallen into the habit of jumping out of bed and running to catch the bus, subway, etc. without breakfast or they grab a piece of toast, a donut or whatever. When the weekend falls around or if they happen to be staying in a resort hotel or Ryokan (a Japanese style B&B), the menu will revert to a traditional Japanese breakfast. It doesn't get much simpler than this, and yet it is hearty, filling and totally Japanese. If you prefer eggs for breakfast, try medamayaki (fried eyeballs). Take a non-stick pan and melt a little butter in it over medium heat, add an egg and cook it sunny side up. When the white begins to turn opaque, drizzle the egg with a little soy sauce and put a lid on the pan. Cook for another minute or so, steaming the egg to your desired amount of doneness.

It's about time you put up a new post. I was gettin mighty tired of the corn picture. I was disappointed about the "fried eyeballs," though. I thought you were going to give me a recipe for REAL eyeballs, served contact lenses up.
Mmmm, that looks good.
I was also getting tired of seeing that corn cob. Come on Jon, you eat more than once a week, don't you?
