And so do I:)

I guess not so difficult to find good Japanese snacks in Sydney, but Cairns is another story.

We have a few shops but very small and limited in selection.

I'd rather my son eat these instead of extra salty and oily Australian potato chips.

I had some green beans "Eta mume" (spelling) today at the Sushi train shop.

For dinner I had Agedashi Tofu, Ebi Fry, and special white fish of the day:)

Your photos are making me hungry, and missing Japan:ywave:

いか
 

烏賊：イカ;ika; squid

We eat squid as sashimi (raw) in Japan.

Also ika-no-maruyaki (grilled squid) is tasty with ginger.



Ika-no-Shiokara (fermented Squid) would be hard for foreign people.



Ika-no-kunsei (smoked squid) or ika-kun is my favorite.



Surume or Saki-ika(torn dried squid) is cheap and easy to keep at bottle side.



This is the squid just after dried (surume).

i personally prefer eihirei or ikura >.>''
