This Japanese onion soup was served at a local Japanese steak house I went to. I believe it's known as "Miyabi." It was the kind of place where the chef cut up everything and cooked it right in front of you. Very interesting place to visit.

I made these fish cakes for dinner last night. They were.... interesting. Taken on October 17th, 2025, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR. Update: They tasted much better when I rewarmed them for lunch today. I guess they just needed more time for the flavors to all infuse together.

This is some Egg Drop Soup I made last December. This turned out to be the best batch I'd ever made. I think I finally got the hang of it! Taken on December 7th, 2024, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

Just like in the movie "Sunset Boulevard." It turned out a little more grainier than I would have liked, but that was because of the film being expired.
