Question # 37 – What is the food like when teaching ESL in Japan?
I thought I would lose weight while in Japan.
Hah! Couldn’t have been more wrong.
Well, I did, but NOT because of the food. Triathlon training, ultrarunning and such helped me keep my weight down. The food was too good… to my taste anyway.
Donburi…anything on rice, beef, pork, pork cutlet, chicken and egg, tempura…
Noodles, ramen, udon…
Rice! – If you don’t like rice, stay home.
One of the teachers at my school had a kid who poured milk and half a cup of sugar on his white rice and ate it. Grossed me out, but I guess people eat it that way.
Kobe beef – bring your credit card and ask to make payments.
Sushi…never filled me up.
Sashimi…ate it to be polite, but never filled me up.
Curry Rice – an Indian friend visited and told me Japanese curry is better than Indian curry. I went to India to see for myself. He’s right.
Japanese curry is better.
My ‘made in Chinese’ wife likes Japanese pot stickers better than the Chinese original.
You get the idea, maybe.
Japanese food is tops…comes from the quality that goes into preparing the ingredients…
Oh…and nashi in the early fall. NOTHING beats them.
What’s your favorite Japanese food?
