Coast Coffee House. Newly opened not far from where I live. Clementine cake and a flat white, people watching and reading a book…Then record shopping...all alone...bliss

I ordered the only things on the menu with pictures, as it was all in Kanji and got served a raw jellyfish salad and half a pig's worth of pork to BBQ on my own much to the amusement of the restaurant full of locals!

In at the deep end. Only way to learn. How did it go with the jellyfish? [emoji1]

@Giles:

Then I had Korean BBQ with my Kojima fam….

@Giles

You ever try okonomiyaki?

[neph93]

^ I keep on seeing that on the .jp crew’s IG/FB feeds and wondered what it was called. Looks amazing.

It is indeed very tasty and a popular dish in southern Japan, but available anywhere in the country. Likewise, takoyaki is also pretty good.

a couple more Japanese dishes that are an acquired taste 

• shiokara: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiokara

• natto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nattō

I love natto but a lot of Westerners tend to object to the pungent smell and slimey texture. But it's really healthy and good with rice. I can give or take shiokara.

[neph93]

^ I need to try all of that.

Yep, Sarina taught me how to make it when she stayed with us a few years ago…

Okonomiyaki is the ultimate food for a night of drinking. Or, for that matter the morning after. I’m not familiar with the other two—going to have to look for them.

Yep, good stuff.

As for shiokara, it's not for everybody. I had the 'squid guts' variety and thought it was ok with rice. Kinda salty. But, i'm sure some would gag at the idea of trying it. Natto, on the other hand, is one of my favorites. I could eat the stuff all day long

Nattou is the only food that I've requested my wife not eat around me…..

Once a month, she gets 1kg of soy beans and makes her own.
Seriously, there is a drawer in the freezer that ONLY has nattou in it, lol
