Investigation : How to eat "Sukiyaki" or Rocky "Drinking Eggs"
The first time I ate Sukiyaki, I was at a loss for what to do. I was at one of my Japanese friend’s houses, eggs were cracking, things were boiling, and someone kept pouring brown sugar into the pot.The next time I had it, I was a bit more prepared. I even helped some of the other confused foreigners, who kept asking “How to you eat Sukiyaki?"
Yes, sure! I understand! Foreigners think, "What's this raw eggs?",
They imagine like this?
No! No! No! Exactly no!!!
Eating Sukiyaki is simple:
1) Figure out what kind of Sukiyaki you’re going to eat. If you are vegetarian, it is possible to just eat vegetarian Sukiyaki (but that’s a bit boring). Some places let you pick your own meat/veggies, but most just provide a platter for you to choose from.
2) Turn the hot plate/stove on and dump some vegetables in the pot. If you’re making it at home, you have to make your own sauce. I usually use a mixture of soy sauce, (sometimes sake), sugar, and water. In general I use 1/3 a cup of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of sake (if I’m feeling adventuresome or have sake laying around that I’m not drinking), 5 tablespoons of sugar (I prefer brown sugar), and a little less than a cup of water.
3) Crack a raw egg in a separate bowl. Beat the egg with your chopsticks until it is thoroughly mixed. This is going to be your dipping sauce. It might sound a little weird, but it’s actually delicious. Do NOT cook the egg.
4) Wait until the vegetable are tender. This usually takes about five minutes, depending on how strong the stove is. I usually just poke the vegetable with my chopsticks until they seem soft.
5) Using your chopsticks, grab a hunk of vegetables and drop them in the bowl with the raw egg. If you are not such a fan of raw egg, you can “lightly” dip the contents in the raw egg and immediately eat. The first time I ate Sukiyaki, I was unnerved by the thought of eating a raw egg, and so I did this. If eating a raw egg doesn’t bother you – great!6) Coat the vegetables with raw egg and eat. Once I got used to it, I loved it.
7) Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the pot is nearly empty.8) Dump meat and vegetables in the pot. Meat takes almost no time to cook – that’s why most people like to wait for the second or third round to start adding meat (to let the broth absorb a nice amount of vegetable juices first).9) Keep filling the pot, as needed. I like to add veggies every couple minutes, since everything cooks at its own pace. Some people like their meat very raw (meaning they only boil it for around ten seconds), some people like their meet very well done (like me).
As you eat, your egg mixture will become more and more diluted by the pot’s juice. If this bothers you, you can usually ask for another egg.In any case, I love Sukiyaki. It’s pretty easy to make at home, too.If you are making it at home you can use shitake mushrooms, grilled tofu, (enoki) mushrooms, negi (leek), cabbage, shirataki noodles, shugiku (chrysanthemum greens), and really whatever else you want. Most people use beef for the meat and make a sauce that mixture of water, soy sauce, sugar, and alcohol (see earlier).
No! No! No! Nooooo~~~~!!!

Food Gateways in Rural Japan Trip vol.I
Trip in Japan, most problems will happen a language gap. Almost English tourist are monolingual and they complain sign boards are not mentioned by English. Roman letters are available...., but directly mentioned Japanese by Roman letters....(・o・) Of course, almost sign boards are for residents, not visitors. Anyway, it's not so kind for tourists. But, if I go to US, it's same things....
"Soyamisaki" = "Soya-misaki", "misaki" means "cape", "Cape Soya"....(・o・)
Maybe, you can understand.... No?.... When earthquake, disaster happened, go to Taisei School....(・o・)
What is this traffic board? I can't understand.... ? Female Cyclist? How to....(・o・)
Well, if you wanna short trip to Japan, you think better to study Japanese? No! Exactly no! If I go to Russia for 2 weeks trip, I'll study Russian? No!
Then, if you don't speak Japanese, will travel in Japan be difficult? No, also no.
Traveling in a country where you don't speak the language can be both challenging and rewarding. But even if you don't speak any Japanese, finding your way around Japan needn't be difficult. English is widely spoken throughout the country, particularly in major cities and tourist centers. Public transportation announcements are frequently made in both Japanese and English, and signs generally include decipherable roman characters or an English explanation. A comprehensive range of tourist services also provides a helping hand to foreign visitors in Japan...
When you visit at major cities....(・o・)
FAQ:Visiting Japan
JNTO JAPAN:the Official Guide
Today's topic is "Food gateways", especially, Japanese B-Class Gourmets....(・o・)
You feel Japan tour is expensive, right? If you stay 5-stars hotel, using transportation by "Shinkansen"="Bullet Train" green/fixed seat, taxi, having meals at high class restaurant as Michelin Guide level, etc., not only Japan trip, even though India trip, too. You'll feel expensive trip in India.
But, not enough information, not so much available English web site guide....
I will introduce you "Japanese B-Class Gourmets" blog contents,
Japan’s B-Class Gourmets and the Food that Inspires Them
Every restaurant in Japan wants to be recognized by B-Class Gourmets. All it takes is one good review and out of nowhere comes a flock of B-Class Gourmets. Soon there is a long line wrapped around the building and the small, previously unnoticed restaurant is suddenly the talk of the town. Restaurant owners love this.
Sushi Shop at Tsukiji, Long Long Queue....(・o・)
If the good reviews keep coming, the restaurant will continue to stay busy like this. Very few actually become so popular that they remain trendy for years to come, but they still enjoy the spike in business. Many of these B-Class Gourmet hot spots quickly fizzle out and the restaurant goes back to its previous amount of patrons.Restaurants are a multi-trillion yen industry that is super competitive. Every cheap restaurant in Japan wants to be the next B-Class Gourmet sensation, but very few will actually enjoy long term B-Class success.Foreigners, however, rarely understand this phenomenon. Some even remark that Japanese people seem to actually enjoy waiting in line. Very often you’ll see two ramen shops right next to each other, one with a line wrapped around the building, and the other with no customers at all....
"Japanese B-Class Gourmets" restaurants are similar to "Hawker centre" in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc.
Please try "Japanese B-Class Gourmets" restaurants, then you'll feel "Oh! Japanese meals are cheap?!"....
To be continued, vol. II, III, VI....if I feel like this topics....(・o・)

イイネ！（Good!） - The Gaijin’s Guide to Natto.
Natto, along with uni, and konnyaku, make up the top three Japanese foods that scare the bejesus out of people. None of these foods actually tastes bad. I think they are scary due to their strange textures. I have read countless websites and books that say these foods are an “acquired taste”. Acquired taste is a cheap way of saying people don’t like them. And if you do like them, you need to explain yourself.
You wanna read more, go to → "The Gaijin’s Guide to Natto."

Do not read, when you have meals....
Translated from the Sardinian Casu Marzu means “rotten cheese”, but in colloquial speech and the expression “wormy cheese. Kasu Marci survive longer than the usual stage of fermentation, thereby bringing to a state of decay, caused by the digestive action of the larvae of the cheese fly.
Worms accelerate the process of decomposition and decay contained in the cheese fats, because of what the product becomes soft. In free sale this cheese does not find even in Italy, because it is an exquisite delicacy, infestations of insects, can shock even gourmet. Moreover, the larvae move fairly briskly in a cheese head and feel there is absolutely “at ease”. Sometimes they can jump a distance of 15 centimeters, so during meals is recommended to protect eyes.
