I&#8217;m going to try to explain. With all the attention lavished recently on Tokyo cuisine, most people are missing the point. Japanese cuisine is great, and Japanese interpretations (Japan-poi) of foreign cuisines can be fantastic. But, Tokyo is far from the best place in Japan to eat. It&#8217;s expensive and often disappointing when you venture [...]]]></description>

Again, strange happenings on leftover day. I had some black pasta from our local Costco (See? Even in Japan we have certain amenities!).  I also had some leftover pseudo-pho, worthy of a post itself. Pho is a standard Vietnamese noodle dish. My wife and I ate it during out visit, I got a local cookbook [...]]]></description>

 What happens in an East/West (ne&#8217;er shall the twain meet) house when leftover day comes along? The twain meets, and Gyouza Bologna Pizza is the result.
Gyouza refers to the Japanese meat dumplings also known as potstickers. These are made by what look like mini flour tortillas, which, since we can&#8217;t eat nearly enough gyouza [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Zipangu is, as far as I know, the first sparkling sake. Shouchu has traditionally held the sparkling beverage market with chuhai. But, since shouchu is moving upmarket, it&#8217;s time for sake (or properly, nihonshu) to move down market.
It will be consumed tonight, and I will report back.

In fact, I never heard of it until I saw it in an American movie. Not to say it&#8217;s never been done &#8211; people do all kinds [...]]]></description>

Beats a taco stand at Santa Monica beach, that&#8217;s for sure.  This was a fairly cheap dish, about $7 I think, that we grabbed at a modest beachside cafe where we showered after swimming. This is the kind of thing that gest thrown together quickly in Japan. There is nothing special about it, but you [...]]]></description>

The kanten diet is fairly well known in Japan, and extraordinarily healthy. Kanten, red seaweed also known as agar-agar, makes a gelatin that is low in calories, rich in protein and high in fiber. 80% fiber, [...]]]></description>

I know.
But we, especially we men, are human &#8211; and sometimes, well, lazy.
Especially when we live alone or have a hangover.
So, instant has it&#8217;s moments. And, as horrible as instant food is, it can be easily dressed up to taste fresh, simply by tossing in a few fresh [...]]]></description>

Ingredients:

Octopus or squid (200g)
Large orange
Cherry tomatoes (about  
Fresh mint (a handful of leaves)
Garlic (one clove, or more to taste)
