Hey all \u3053\u3093\u3070\u3093\u308f\u30fc(konbanwa-)(good evening)!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been thinking all the time about what to write about a language course. What did I do today? New grammar and vocab. What else? Memorizing new grammar and vocab. \u9762\u767d\u304f\u306a\u3044*!<\/p>\n

So I decided to start from why I chose Japanese. Usually, besides interest, why would you learn a new language? I have to admit that I want to order food comfortably the time I go to Japan. Well food is a really important part (\u0e51\u2022\u0300\u3142\u2022\u0301)\u0648\u2727 So\u2026yah.<\/p>\n

Generally, there are two types of food in Japan: traditional Japanese food (washoku) and \u201cwestern\u201d food. Either one is delicately made, but washoku is \u00a0stricter with its rules. A typical washoku meal is usually like this:<\/p>\n

\"61uyxoB9h8L._SY498_BO1,204,203,200_\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5-6 small bowls and plates putting in a large rectangle plate; a main course; a bowl of rice must be put on the left and a bowl of miso soup on the right; a small plate of vegetable and another plate of appetizer on each side. The last one is usually a small plate of Japan tofu (probably not, but I had tofu every time). It seems that there is only a little food in each plate, but they are really a lot! Probably it\u2019s because every washoku meal is just like a feast\u2014it contains a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n

Even washoku breakfast is a feast. There are at least 5 elements: appetizer, rice (sometimes\u00a0 congee), miso soup, food that contains protein (fish, tofu, egg, etc., yet I think roast fish is the most typical one), and tea. There will be more if you go to an expensive restaurant.<\/p>\n

(Oh this picture is too good to be called \u201cbreakfast\u201d\u2026)<\/p>\n

Oh I have to talk about the convenient stores in Japan. They are not stores! They are restaurants! Can\u2019t imagine that sometimes food in 7-11 is better than a fancy restaurant! Pictures would be better than words here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh you should go have a meal at a convenient store!<\/p>\n

And here are some great food I have had in Japan.\u00a0My favorite food ever is Unagiton (come on you have so much favorite food)!! Grilled eel served with rice. The restaurant I had is called Nodaiwa (the kanji are \u91ce\u7530\u5ca9). In the past it was a place to eat eel only and it has a history of more than 160 years! So it\u2019s really delicious. It\u2019s just near the Tokyo Tower but not easy to find because it is hidden in a corner of an old street. Go try it next time you travel to Tokyo!<\/p>\n

This is okonomi-yaki, a very typical Osaka food (well don\u2019t ask me why I ate Osaka food in Tokyo lol). I don\u2019t remember the name of the restaurant, I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s in Odaiba. \u00a0Waiting for this meal was quite torturing\u2014 the food is cooked in front of the customers. In the middle of the table there is this large teppan, and the cook will bring materials and cook on that. We watched and waited at the same time, which means \u201ccan\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for today!<\/p>\n

*Japanese vocab note: \u9762\u767d\u304f\u306a\u3044(omoshirokunai) means \u201cnot interesting.\u201d Character \u9762 means face, and \u767d is white. \u201cA white face\u201d is just like a circus clown\u2014it stands for interesting. And \u304f\u306a\u3044(kunai) is a casual negative expression. Thus, \u9762\u767d\u304f\u306a\u3044 is \u201cit\u2019s not fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
