I like Japanese food until about 30 minutes after I eat it and my stomache says "what the hell is this?!"

Posted: 10/10/04 at 8:45pmBefore I went to Japan I hated Japanese food. Here in the states its Americanized so much. Once I got there I found some dished that I really liked. I love Omu Rice and Chicken Katsu I havn't been able to find a place back in the US that serves them.

All-you-can-eat Japanese buffet is a good idea at the time, right until the 20 minute mark when you feel like you'll never want to eat Japanese food ever again. And then 5 hours later, you're craving it and wish you'd had that one last cali roll.
(As was my experience yesterday.)
I prefer Chinese food, not because I'm Chinese (actually, Chinese food is one of my least favorite ethnicities of food), but because there's more variety than Japanese food, I find.

This would be a good time to link to the Ty Giordano interview where he talks about eating lung and intestine while in Japan.

Japanese food is my all time favorite. The first time I had it was in the late sixties on a trip to San Francisco. We ate at a place called Yamato's. This was long before sushi became popular. I was about 12 then and I had no idea what I was eating. At least I knew it was good. My brother kept trying to eat his soup with chop sticks. We were eating dessert while he was still on his soup. I didnt have it until many years later as an adult. I went for the sushi and sashimi and have been hooked on it every since. I think it has a clean and healthy taste.
I live in Hartford and we are not know for a Japanese cuisine. I do get to California a few times a year to visit my family and indulge in what appears to be authentic Japanese cooking. I often eat in places in Palo Alto where Japanese people eat. Now I am hungry for sushi.

Posted: 10/10/04 at 9:44pmYesterday was my first time eating sashimi and liking it! I usually stay away from the raw stuff, but I don't think you can really appreciate Japanese food otherwise, so I've been forcing myself to eat sashimi, and finally over lunch yesterday, I had a breakthrough and I really love salmon sashimi now! The texture, the taste...*drool* I also had my first chopped scallop role. I'm not a fan of tuna sashimi though. Too chewy and pungent.

Posted: 10/10/04 at 10:42pmOh my goodness I went to Trader Joes today and I bought dry roasted edamame. It's awsome. I also bought instant miso soup--amaaaaaaaaaaaazing. It comes with udon noodles in the soup, oh man, I have to go back and buy more.

Posted: 10/10/04 at 10:43pmwell, healthy, but not always. Depends on how much salt they use. But hoping that the soybean itself gives you lots of protein and all...

I LOVE sashimi. I love ahi, salmon, and that white stinky fish especially. I also love udon, boiled edamame, and green tea ice cream (which I guess doesn't really count).
I ALSO LOVE POCKY!
Luckily I live in the SF Bay Area, so I go crazy whenever I'm in Japantown. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year.
