I don't remember but my mom had it when we went to a resturant the other day. She thought it was the stuff we got at Benhinnas one time, but it wasn't. <--random story

Have you ever tried Yakitori. If you're not very good at trying new foods its a good'en.

i think that if you are willing to try japanese food, you have to keep an opened mind. i'd say about half of japanese foods are eaten raw and a lot of them are seafood.

if you wanna get adventurous you might want to try sukiyaki. it's a hot pot with broth and various vegetables and meats are cooked inside. in a side bowl, you take a raw egg and scramble it and this is your dipping sauce. mmmmmmmmmmm it sounds weird, but it's sooooooo good.

have you heard of YanYan? It's a really good food, even though it is a snack.

How about leek soup? I get it from the store all the time. It's usually in the soup aisle in a pouch. All you do is mix it with milk and water and then simmer it for 5 minutes. It's really tasty.
