Pickled plums are surprisingly addictive.

Quite the necropost, but I don't hate it. Pickled plums are fuckin great.

Also, someone mentioned onigiri, and that's been an on-again/off-again addiction of mine lately. Fortunately, it's not really that hard to make your own at home since you can buy cheap little onigiri molds (often packed with a musubi mold as well) on Amazon. Favorite filling is canned tuna mixed with Kewpie mayo, ponzu, some katsuobushi flakes and a bit of sambal oelek. Sprinkling a bit of furikake on top is optional.

Been buying onigiri lately from a recently opened Asian grocer down the road, I usually buy three but I always eat them in a single day. It's the kind where the wrapper separates the seaweed from the rice so it stays crunchy. If I could, I would buy twenty. Teriyaki salmon is my favorite. :story:

I love making them at home. They are also really good meal prep food, you can make them and freeze to eat throughout the week and its just as good too.
 
We're on vacation in Japan here and we tried Ichiya ramen last night, it took a couple sips but it was probably the most delicious bowl of noodles I've ever had

You guys ever try takoyaki before? I've had it twice: One at an outside market during the summer and another in terms of frozen bags. Interesting texture, kinda rubbery. Not something I would have every day.

Takoyaki was one of my go-to snacks to grab after work when I was living overseas. There's a few asian supermarkets with hot food counters that make them pretty well, and there's frozen ones too which are okay. None of it compares to the fresh ones from an actual takoyaki stand but it's good enough once I drizzle a little bulldog sauce and kewpie mayo on them.

There's a really good restaurant down the road that sells them, I'll have to hold you to your word that the fresh ones are better.

So I decided to keep my promise and try the fresh kind. Honestly, not my kind of thing, but I'm happy for people who do like it.
 
Got some white miso paste made with barley I have been using for a few weeks now, it's really nice. Not as salty as red or shiro miso paste and much sweeter.
 
I really love Japanese food. The plethora of meat protein options often mixed in with either corn, broccoli, carrots, bamboo shoots, sichuan peppers, teriyaki, soybeans and rice really makes it ideal for me. Especially the Sushi (my favorite ones being California rolls). Rice cakes are also very delicious. I took great liberty in trying many foods in Japan that you don't normally get here when I went to Japan in the spring of 2023.
 
Philippines? Well never would have guessed. Thank you, mate. Sadly I live in the sticks so the closest to international stuff we get is "made in china" products from the dollar tree.
