Japanese Food

I like Pocky too but they are small...I don't find them very filling. Hence why I prefer Koala Bears because they are bigger and there's more XDDD I love food so much you can't imagine! But does anyone here like the traditional sweets?

Tell us a few of the foods that you like and maybe we can suggest a recipe for you to try :)

Kawai, if İ get to japan İ'll try to eat everthing, but the thing is İ can't even eat stuff at a chinese restaurant. İts not because of it being a preprepared Ramen, but its just the spice and the smell.
İ got some of the best and most expensive, but nope. İts just the smell and the spice.

Maybe, İ!m just too used to western style food, with more calories and less spice.

I can definitely think of Japanese foods that don't use much spice at all. Are there any foods you know you don't like? That may be it, like green onions or something? Sometimes its hard to tell what is in Japanese food just by looking at it. Sry if this feels like i'm forcing you to eat. I just wanna share the love, and don't want you to be left out of all the Japanese food yummy goodness, hehehe.

I discovered a few days ago that a restaurant we go to during weekends for dining have added a few Japanese dishes to their menu. It initially served Chinese and Thai food (It has the BEST Chinese food as compared to the other restaurants in that locality :P~). So, these are the dishes that they newly added in their menu:
-Ramen
-Yakitori meat balls
-Onigiri rice
-Udon

To be honest, I never tried Japanese cuisine yet :P The reason being, none of the restaurants near my place serve Japanese food. There are many Chinese and Thai restaurants but Japanese- none. The ones which do are very far off from where I stay ~_~ But fortunately, the restaurant I talked about earlier has made some effort to add a few dishes (though there isn't Sushi >.<) so maybe this weekend I'll go and try them out. Lol jk, not all of them at once but Ramen and Yakitori first most probably xD

gosh sushi in japanese restaurants in finland is soooo expensive D:::: i've only had it at 2 restaurants. 1st one had cheaper and A LOT BIGGER sushi and more sushi/portion and second one had really tiny sushi and it was sooooo much more expensive (and tasted worse) than the first one

more yummy japanese food goodness: my local grocery store now sells handmade mochi at the sushi counter. YAY hehe

and this is why mochi is awesome

i've never had okonomiyaki before. it kinda scares me, hehe. There's just so much piled on and all that sauce. Just seems like a lot could go wrong, lol. I would definitely try it if i were in Japan though.
