Haha.
I have yet to try the pink stuff tho.
Its supose to be way hotter or something.
Ill do that on a day when I'm feeling brave.

I know there this thing that tasts like soap :\\\
It white-pinkish and i think it's called ginger >.>

lmao
Soap, on sushi.
That would be interesting.
The stuff Im talking about comes in long strips and it kinda looks like seaweed....except its pink. I'll see if I can find a picture.

I think that's what im talking about... Is that ginger?

I have no clue.
All I know is that its supose to be hot and it looks like pink seaweed. XD

I've never seen natto offered in Japanese restaurants here. Where can I get some? I'd love to try it. Abe Natsumi said it was her favorite food in an interview once. It does look rather nasty, but that doesn't mean it tastes nasty.

As for sushi, many Americans think that it's raw fish and that keeps them from going near it. I think that's the only reason so many Americans cringe when sushi comes up in conversation. I've eaten it many times, but it's not my favorite japanese food. I prefer noodles.

isnt fugu blowfish? and isnt it poisionous? well its all cooked out isnt it?

i think it's generally shunned just because of the whole 'omg how can you eat raw fish' thing people have.

i myself love sushi, tho no one else i know does(they've probably never tried it either) except for a friend of mine who took me out to dinner and ate it w/me ^^

i luv sushi, tho i'm not too big on the wasabi(sp?) and the ginger stuff. it's alright, but not the greatest
