Food

Well I didn't know where else to put this stuff so here will be some small parts about food.

This is a GIGANTIC GYOZA! It cost 9800 yen (about a hundred dollars) and if you can eat the whole thing by yourself in under an hour you don't have to pay. There is NO WAY! Although, Natsuko says her friend actually did it and was on TV because of it.

They also had a huge plate of regular gyoza and a huge plate of fried rice. Sound like it might be good for a party

Yutaro and Kyoko are two friends of my friend Scott.

They served me my first bowl of Nabe. It's really easy to make and Kyoko's was Kimchee Nabe and it was delicious. It's basically a bunch of stuff boiled in soup broth. You keep it bowling at the table and add things to it as you take others out. I've been told it's more common to eat in the winter.

gyoza [ e ]

Are originally from China. If you go to a Chinese restaurant in America they are usually called "pot stickers". They're usually made from small amount of ground meat and spices wrapped by the a piece of thin dough and then fried or boiled. In Japan at least you then usually dip them in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar and a little spicy oil.

You can put pretty much anything inside them. Ground beef, ground pork, ground chicken, sliced shrimp, and with various kinds of spices as well.

I found you blog accidently.

Oh, It's Iidabashi Hanten! I used to work very near the restaurant.

Now I am in California and do miss Japan very much. There are large malls but no shotengai here in US...
