For today’s lunch (in Nagasaki) we stopped into Tia to try their freshly prepared lunch box. The meal cost 700 yen (approximately $5.87) and included hot tea, miso soup, rice, desert, coffee, and a 5 dish main coarse. My favorite was the pork cutlet. The coating was crispy and the glaze was delicious. Chandra really enjoyed the miso soup. The brown rice was fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The smoked daikon was interesting to say the least. Most likely it is an acquired taste. The cheesecake was soft and moist. I wished there was more of it. The lunch box from Tia was yummy and affordable*.  Try it if you are in the neighborhood. In addition to the lunch box, they also do a lunch or dinner buffet and breakfast.

*Chandra Notes that they also focus on local, organic ingredients – they have photos of where they get everything from greens to teacups in a book on their tables!
