I’m in Japan this month; visiting my fiancée, studying food and language, teaching classes for the US Meat Export Federation, and giving my son, Joshua and nephew, Dominic, a lesson in culture shock.
Imagine if you can, a city more intense than NYC, and vastly larger – a megalopolis running along the eastern shore of Japan that seemingly never ends and a population estimated at over 40 million people - this is the Tokyo/ Yokohama area.

Pictured Above: A class I taught for the US Meat Export Federation in Tokyo. The USMEF often brings international guests to visit Tony's Markets and I show them around and often cook a typical American meal for them - using Tony's premium aged local beef and Iowa pork of course!

Discovering high fashion in one of the world's fashion capitols! Fashion eats $100 bills for breakfast, and is so hideous, it has to change every few months. Don't worry, I never considered buying them. BTW ladies, the shoe shopping is beyond your dreams here! |

Left: The Shinkansen, or bullet train as it pulls into Kyoto station - amazing luxury and speed - 180 miles per hour! So smooth, but you can feel reduced gravity when the train starts dowhill - if you are up and walking around.
