@BrentSwancer When it comes to kazunoko, herring roe is the best.

One thing I forgot to mention is that there’s also an option called “harigane,” which means “steel wire.”
regular < kata < barikata < harigane < kona (flour)

I’ve ordered “barikata” before, and it was so hard that it didn’t even feel like noodles. However, regular is too soft. That’s why I go with “kata” as my go-to option.

I’m too scared to ever order “kona (flour).”

This isn't a secret Ura-menu item, but it's something every fan of Kyushu-style tonkotsu ramen knows.

Tonkotsu ramen uses very thin noodles, only about 1 mm thick.

If you don't say anything, they come out cooked to the regular firmness. But I order mine "Kata" (firm), and the noodles come out like Italian pasta cooked very "al dente" (hard al dente).

You can also order "Barikata" (extra firm) or "Kona" (literally "flour"; they are boiled for just a few seconds, so the noodles are still almost raw in the middle). The price is the same whichever you choose.

When I go out for wagyu teppanyaki, the regular menu usually comes with garlic rice. One time, a friend of mine who was friends with the chef asked for Ketchup rice (rice stir-fried and seasoned with ketchup). It wasn’t on the menu.

I remembered that, and since most teppanyaki restaurants keep ketchup on hand, I started asking for Ketchup rice myself. About half the time, the resutaurants I visited made it for me. Some places did it for free, and others charged a little extra (less than 1,000 yen). Because it’s a dish made only for me, it tastes especially delicious.

@roas_TT 정확히는 일본 국민이 그런 거다. 다카이치의 자유민주당은 국민의 투표로 선택받아 대승을 거두었다. 다음 선거는 2년 이내에 치러지겠지만, 그녀가 또 이긴다면 그것은 일본 국민이 원하는 결과라는 뜻이다.

That's right. In Japan, you can also drink on the beach, so Japanese people who go to Hawaii sometimes get into trouble with the police.

One interesting thing that's prohibited in Japan is camping (pitching a tent and sleeping in it). On many beaches in Izu, Shizuoka prefecture, camping is banned by local ordinance during the summer, and in many parts of Okinawa, as well as in national parks, you basically can't camp outside of designated campgrounds.

@g4IkZj2MRKsduXG @shinee0772 @xrutVppSEGvV29a @kozakura0903 있어. 한국 화장실은 물 내려가는 수압이 약해서 최악이었어. 수돗물도 안 마시려고 했고, 양치질은 생수로 해결했어. 네가 물어보니까 대답한 거야.

@Jasper618Chang Approximate boundary line separating Savage District and Territory under actual Japanese administration.

@xiamuzairiben 说"可以"的话会引起误解的。因为这一切本质上都属于行政许可制的范畴。

Since I have relatives in Okinawa prefecture, I’ve eaten mimigah (pig’s ear) many times. But most people from mainland Japan may never have tried it, and most Japanese people may not even know the word “mimigah.”
Okinawa and Fujian Province, aka Hokkien, have a long historical connection.

The Ryukyu-kan 琉球館 existed in Ming and Qing era, and re-built in 1992, in Fuzhou (officially called Rouyuan Station, 柔遠駅) was a facility where envoys and students from the Ryukyu Kingdom stayed and worked during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In today’s terms, it was something like an embassy and a trading house in one.

There are also records of people moving the other way, from Fujian, Hokkien, to Okinawa.
If you look into the Thirty-six Families of Kume, and do more research, you may find that a lot of things make sense. https://t.co/jPPXyQ0RqZ

@arshlamalik9971 Every morning, we spend one minute in a press machine to get slim before heading out.🤔

@TravelBluez When it comes to food, maybe it's because Asia has the concept of "creative cuisine," so you can discover something new no matter when you visit? I wonder who came up with things like "dam curry"?

@grok @ZHhn0622 これは質問に悪意があるよな。中国人による悪意。

@GIS_IOIO @namu10642 일본에서 태어나서 다행이야. 중국인들이 경제 절정기에 "사람은 태어날 나라를 고를 수 없다"고 뽐내듯이 말하곤 했지. '헬조선'을 외치는 한국인들도 지금쯤 "사람은 태어날 나라를 고를 수 없다"고 생각하고 있겠지 (여기서 웃으면 됨).

@namu10642 @GIS_IOIO 궁금한 게 있는데, 삼성페이나 스마트폰을 다루지 못하는 고령자나 장애인, 경계선 지능인은 소외되는 건가요? 한국인들은 현금을 부정하고 싶어서 안달이 난 듯한 태도를 늘 취하는 것처럼 보여요.🤔

Over the past 30 years, the number of overseas bases of Japanese companies (offices and factories, through direct investment) has increased 2.5-fold, and they have shifted to a style of earning money overseas. Since exports of goods from Japan are decreasing, it's simply a matter of looking at the current account balance, which nets out all income and losses, rather than the trade balance, to gauge Japan's earning power.

@nasdaqdailynews 일본은 매달 통근 교통비를 지급하는 곳이 대부분이야. 최단·최저가 경로 기준이긴 하지만.
