Real blog updates! I am currently mostly internetless, so the 10 or more updates I have coming on my apartment, the neighbourhood and yes, the food, will have to wait. I do not know exactly when I will get internet, but I hope it will be in the next two weeks. It takes a surprisingly long time to get internet here due to infrastructure issues (surprisingly) so I have tried to start in on it early.
I have already been a brave eater and tried things I thought it would take months to find and sample including Okinawan soba, goya (aka bittermelon), mimiga or pig`s ear and natto – the most famous of gross foods, fermented soybeans. Yikes!
i’m thinking about you on your exciting japanese adventure, and looking forward to hearing how it’s going
I am waiting with baited breath!
