osarabaOne thing I will definitely miss when I'm back in NY is the FOOD.
I normally don't like much seafood (exceptions include shrimp, scallops, smoked whitefish salad, and recently, spicy tuna rolls). But I have never been so happy to eat seafood as I have been here! I just had the most delicious onigiri basket that had 4 onigiri (with different unidentifiable things in each one), one takoyaki ball (octopus, and OMG, it was SOOOOOOO delicious!), one shrimp tempura, and two pieces of fried octopus&veggie-thing.
I have also been having the best ramen, called tantan men, which is noodle with spicy-seasoned ground beef. It is just to DIE for.
I seriously need to find some good ramen places when I get back to New York 'cause I will definitely have a craving for tantan ramen.
And I'm still really surprised that I liked the takoyaki!
One of the onigiri had this brown flakey-like thing on it... Yoshi thinks it might have been natto, but I don't know. It did smell like seafood, but I can't be sure. I'm pretty sure I've had it before; it smelled and tasted really familiar, slightly salty -- but the last time I had it seemed like years ago. I might have to try natto so I can rule it out if that's not it.
Also, I have to remember to buy shichimi (seven spices) seasoning for when I make ramen at home. =D
