Mikan (Citrus unshiu) is a citrus fruit similar to an orange (Citrus sinensis). It is grown in warmer coastal prefectures, especially Wakayama (和歌山), Ehime (愛媛) and Shizuoka (静岡). Its Kanji is 蜜柑 and kana is みかん or ミカン.

Yes. Buri has many aliases. Hamachi is one of them.

Buri as teriyaki

a good japanese winter time food is raman noodles with some miso because when it is cold it makes you all nice and warm and yet another way to stay warm is to share body heat lol you know what i am getting at right???
