Lunch Vending Machine Roulette

We have had a rule on this trip, that every few days we must eat
something unrecognisable just to discover what it is.

Most street corners and station platforms have drink vending machines,
but today we found one of only a few "cooked meal" machines -
presumably a combination of automatic fridge and microwave?

Kay's lunch was fairly good quality noodles with pork and vegetables,
I however got the short straw, and ended up with battered shapes with
sauce, that turned out to be chicken nuggets!, while it was edible, I
lucked out on the drink vending machine, mistaking what we believed to
be lemon juice turned out to be a bottle of cold tea! Yuk.

We enjoyed the experience tremendously at lunch (though are unlikely
to repeat it), if only to have kay spot on finishing hers, that there
was a big restaurant above the shop where we had bravely selected our
vending machine lunch!

As our friend Drew said "always look up" when in Japan!
