Lasagna

After the festivities of last weekend, and with a nagging hangover, the family demanded to be fed something healthy and satisfying.
What better to fulfill this request than a vegetable lasagna. It's rammed full of vegetables, so potentially healthy, and has the pasta and sauce to give it some body. Perfect for clearing my hangover also. Only problem is that making a decent lasagna in Japan needs some careful preparation.
First, you obviously need lasagna sheets...not an easy task even in the center of Tokyo. Or maybe it's because we are in the center that it's so bloody difficult to find them! Anyway the only place close to us that constantly stocks lasagna sheets is Miuraya, a supermarket in the Ramla Shopping Center next to Iidabashi Station. It's also a good supermarket to find other foodstuffs and snacks from overseas.

So it was a 40 minute round bicycle trip just to get the lasagna sheets! But the result was well worth the effort with my visiting mother-in-law even enjoying the meal.
