When I make tsatziki, I use at least 3 cloves of garlic and only yoghurt -- a thick kind, like Balkan style. Mind you, I know actual Greek people who swear by part yoghurt, part sour cream, but I prefer all yoghurt, tangier, and they like mine too. I suspect Japanese people aren't that used to garlic so they go easy.
The cumin in the meatballs sounds nice, gotta try that.

@Purplelibraryguy Japanese put a lot of garlic in some dishes like Gyoza but due to their culture, they are afraid that other people can smell the garlic on them especially in the workplace. If you go to meet a customer or a business partner and you are reek of garlic, you can be seen in a negative light and view as unprofessional so Japanese usually eat dishes that contain a lot of garlic when they don't have to go to work or meet anyone the day after.

@miyako19 Ah! That sounds very Japanese, yeah.
