Welcome!

Katsuo tataki (Kochi regional dish) teishoku

Welcome all! Part of living in Japan means being surrounded by amazing food all the time. A trip to the grocery store can be such an adventure! Part of me wants to try all of these foods and the other part wants to share them with the world (okay, just my friends and family).

So, I've decided to document my food adventures here. Some things I want to include:


  • Ramen Reviews (with a whole aisle dedicated to instant ramen...we need to figure out which ones are worth it, and which ones shouldn't be bothered with)
  • Limited Edition Snack Spotlight (new varieties of snacks come out all the time and sometimes they're so bizarre that they must be sampled!)
  • Adult Corner (aka...alcohol. The alcohol area is vast and full of new drinks, limited edition things and experimentation!)
More to come when I think of it. I have a friend who wants to try all the different bottles of tea and maybe she can feature her things on here as well.

Let's see what we can do!

Furthermore, lots of these packets are just noodles and broth (or sauce) but the images on the packaging have vegetables and meat. A bunch of goodies. Basically, you can just buy these and just eat the noodles. However, what I prefer to do is deck them out. Go to the vegetable area and grab a bunch of veggies to pad out the noodles. You end up with a much better dish overall and (depending on how many veggies you add) you might be able to stretch the noodles into two meals instead of one! Now I no longer have this wrapper so I can't properly give you a lot of information besides the image you see above. It was a tonkatsu ramen, aka, ...
