I don't care about any stigma when it comes to foods. Life is short. We should eat watch we want and leave no regret. Speaking of carb, croquette pan is tasty, too. The only thing I have to hold back is soda. The hot weather always makes me want to pop a can, but the sugar doesn't agree with me.

To be honest, I love Heineiken, but my father likes Saigon or 333.

As a Vietnamese, I don't understand why foreigners pair springrolls with Pho. No one does that in Vietnam. The misconception was spread everywhere. Don't expect authentic Pho places to have springrolls. Actually, Vietnamese don't often eat springrolls. It is a banquet dish that is eaten when...

It is meant to dip in broth. It is delicious if you shredded it to pieces and dropped it in the broth or rice porridge, too.

How is she spoiled? She is just in a slump. Did you ever go to grad school? As someone was in grad school, I sympathize with her a lot. Graduate school is incredibly stressful. It damages mental health. She has to live alone in a stressful environment. It is no wonder she slashed out. Grad...

It is more like the Tengu wanted him to start a new family in other world. With Nanami here the situation is very different. The other guy had a plan and was working to open his own soy sauce business in the other world. Nanami didn't have any plan at all and was just throwing a tantrum.

Not all shrines worship foxes. There are many shrines in Japan worship Tengu, too. Tengu can also be servants to other kami and guard their shrines. I have also seen shrines worshipping Tanuki, Mizuchi, or Kappa. More like the locations are based on prefectures since Japanese from different...

I think not all teas can be used. I usually see people use kelp tea ,which is salty, not bitter, for chazuke. Since it is made from kelp, it is rather similar to dashi made from konbu, so it isn't that strange.

You should remember that there are wishes that can't never be granted. Wishing a kami to be your wife? You should expect rains of purnishment from not only Koto but other kami. There are things that a person should never do. There are so many stories all over the world about mortals wanting to...

Ookuninushi is Susano'o 's son-in-law. You need to read more Japanese history. Ookuninushi is a Kunitsukami (land god), Susano'o is an Amatsukami (heavenly god). In the past, Japan was under the Kunitsu's rule with Ookuninushi basically their king. His name literally means "Great master of the...

Unfortunately, nowadays, most kami aren't worshipped anymore, except the major ones. You can see shrines for the minor kami got abandoned all over Japan. It is due to Japanese shifting to Buddhism in Heian period. Another reason is Japan's decreasing population and young people leaving the...

It is strange that his daughter didn't know about "Candy candy" and "Glass mask". Those are classic shoujo manga. Or am I that old? I am only in my early 30s.

While they are tasty, they are still pre-cooked foods. They lack the warm of a freshly home-cooked meal. When my mother couldn't cook, I had to eat take-out for a week. It was tasty at first but then it got stale and plain and I missed the taste of homecooked meals. Those convenience store foods...

I wonder if they are also NEETs like the Matsuno sextuplets. If so it would be incredibly hilarious.

I don't know about everyone else, but I hate people like Rina. Chasing after and obsessing with a person that has zero romantic attraction to you is just so annoying and pathetic. From when Rina was introduced, I never like her. The way she acts is like the love rivals in shoujo manga who the...

Liking an idol doesn't make anyone a simp. Most of us have at least one celebrity we like and admire. People nowadays just throw the word "simp" so carelessly. A simp would be a person keep chasing another one even though thetmy have zero interest. The simp here is Rina.

Anyone spotted the Osomatsu-san reference with the sextuplets? And that ending. While it feels like a ridiculous idea, the sci-fi nerd part of me think maybe there is some truth to it. It reminds me of the book "Flatland" and the theory about higher dimensional beings. I never expect something...

Now I am craving for some Takoyaki. And what Ootsuki said is true. There are levels to Takoyaki. The best ones for me is at the local Japan Fair, then Izakaya, ramen shops, Kura sushi chain restaurants. Worst ones is at a buffet with tiny, near non-existent piece of octopus. And Miyamoto is...

That would just be so disrespectful to the profession. She would ruin the Manor's reputation by doing that. Once a Maiko decided to become a Geiko, she will stay as one until she gets old and retires, unless she has to get married, has some kind of injury or become a Mother. Japanese are really...

She could just go back to the Manor to eat then return to her place. She will still pay the Manor money back after all.
