We were on our way to an art festival (post to follow), when we got sidetracked by the Yokohama Oktoberfest. It was lunch, so we stopped for some Japanese German food and beer. Here's some of the most authentic "German" food. Japanese apparently think that German food is meat. Any kind of meat. Also, wurst wrapped in rice and seaweed. Yum?
Here's the stage. We were too early for the entertainment (I can only imagine), but you can see the Japanese woman in the dirndl.
Here's our food - wurst, sauerkraut, some weird non-German bread, and potato pancakes that were decidedly also non-German. The wurst and the beer were delicious.
Here are some Japanese, eating German wurst with CHOPSTICKS.
Adam desperately wanted to try Daddy's beer. As you can see, he thought it was delicious! He didn't ask again.
Lottie enjoyed Oktoberfest too.
The Germans working the Spaten beer taps had decorated with gingerbread hearts. I loved those growing up, so I made Chris ask them if they had gotten them here. He asked in German, and they laughed at him, and told him that they had brought them from Germany. Guess they needed a laugh, so they gave him a free beer. We're pretty sure they think Chris is German. They also gave Adam a German flag.
