Last meal in Japan this year

Saba bozushi is a type of Japanese sushi made with mackerel. It's a long, rectangular piece of sushi rice topped with a large slice of marinated mackerel.

Inari sushi is a type of Japanese sushi where sushi rice is stuffed into fried tofu pouches. It's sweet and savory, and a popular vegetarian option.

Hi! I want to make mochi and I've found a few recipes that include microwaving ice cream with the other ingredients for a minute or more. I'm unsure if this is a safe practice? I think you also need to melt the ice cream before mixing it in with other ingredients. So there are two opportunities for bacteria to grow.

There’s this treat/snack/candy that I had years ago but I’ve never been able to have it again. It comes with some kind of light brown powder, a darker brown syrup, and a stick to mix them together. It’s on the sweet side but not sugary, more of a natural sweet.

Any ideas?

"揚子江ラーメン" is a long-established ramen restaurant located in Doyama, Kita-ku, Osaka.

This post is my first, and I suppose it could be viewed as promotional, informative, or both.

You see hunger before a long flight led me to a 711 at an airport in Japan recently. The shelves in the refrigerator section were picked clean apart from a lone container of "Macaroni salad with Bacon".

Being a fan of all things yōshoku(Japanese versions of western food) I snagged it before any of the nearby Korean ladies honing in on it could.

When I tore off the plastic lid, I could see that the salad was covered with bacon lardons and coursely ground ground black pepper.

Fast forward to to 3am many days later, and I'm writing this post so that you too can enjoy this level 10 bliss. If you are in Japan anywhere even remotely near a 711, go to the store, buy and consume this product.

So freaking good.

Macaroni perfectly cooked, mayo dressing not overly sweet, salty bacon, and the crunch of black pepper. Whoever you are over there at product development, I hope you read this. I hope that before you read this post you were questioning the direction of your life, but after reading this you realize that you have made the right decisions, and that everything before this was just preparing you and leading you to this point. You were born to create the 711 macaroni with bacon salad. May God bless you and thank you for your efforts.
