New things

I tried natto, which is this:

FERMENTED SOYBEANS. Literally the worst. Japanese people love it but Americans hate it. They mix in soy sauce and mustard. It makes a really revolting combination.




I stick to eating this:

Karaage - Japanese fried chicken!





The students made anko for us:

Anko is red bean paste. They used two pancakes and put red bean paste in the middle and topped it off with vanilla ice cream.

They also made mochi:

Red bean mochi is one of the worst things I've ever eaten. I gagged the entire time. It's rice powder and red bean paste mixed together and heated. I could've died. I couldn't handle it. Oh my word.
