Since discovering soba and unagi onigiri though everything is well between Japan and myself….

This address might belong to someone though. Stumbled upon your web site and read the umeboshi post and your frequently asked questions section. HILARIOUS!!! Sounds like the salty plum juice I tried at a vietnamese restaurant in philadelphia, pennsylvania (USA, of course). I asked to try it on a day I was feeling gastronomically adventurous and the guy at the register gave it to me for free with directions for me to tell him how it taste upon my return. The name of the product was quite clear about the flavor, and yet I was still suprised by how putrid it was. </p> not my real email dont want to commit to possibly recieving correspondence from anyone.

I've said it, and I'll say it again - THE best thing on the menu. And when the waitress tells you its crab guts, don't believe it - you know what it really is. After years of eating mediocre sushi - I try to avoid it on the menu, and am gently forced to eat things like soups, noodles and kani miso. P.S. - I'm a little confused about Nattou. I've heard its actually good, but I can't forget what you said about it, so I hope to never eat it. </p> “PLEASE THE CRAB BRAIN TO EAT”… mmm yet another reference to kani miso.
