Absolutely agree, Unagi is one of the finest things I have tasted and I get very excited when I find it here in a restaurant. The basting sauce gives the eel a wonderful flavour. Looks like everyone who has posted loves unagi.
Once found a dark thick hair embedded in my pizza crust. EEEEEOOOOOOOUUUH! Turned me right off my tucker. It would have been even worse if the hair was curly. AAAAGGH!!
I am a bit of a sucker for anything that has a cute mascot or figure promoting it. Here in Oz, such characters are only used to promote kids products which is a shame. I remember in the 70's there was a popular commercial here that sold a heap of fly...
I used to love to get the Boss Cafe Latte from the vender. Double function; it keeps your hands warm while waiting for the train and at the same time warmed the belly. Didn't taste too bad either; not too milky. I miss those vending machines! Not man...
I love my home in Australia but I also feel an incredible affinity with Japan. I have visited about five times now and whenever I return to Japan I feel a sense of calm and peace. It is where I feel most at home when away from home!
Wow, Chris thanks for the post. I have a strong memory of hearing Yaaaaakiiiiiimoooo every day for two weeks when i was on a student exchange at Aichi Agricultural College in Miaii. I can hear it now. Thanks for bringing out another great memory of J...

What a wonderful way to spend a sunny day. I just love bento meals where you can savour each and every different mouthful. I particularly love the omelette roll that only Japanese people can do to perfection; so smooth and lovely. I love to take my l...
I know what you mean Jse[h. I made the mistake of watching Borat on the plane flight across to New Zealand last week. When the wrestling scene came on between Borat and his Russian bodyguard I went as red as anything because I couldn't figure out how...
Here in Melbourne we have a great selection of not only Japanese restaurants but most other cuisines as well. I don't think it would be as much fun to live here without all of the great food options. It is a very multicultural city. Anyone who loves...
You wouldn't believe it but I have been at Uni for 15 years this year and I am just finishing up my doctorate. It has been a log haul but I have loved every minute of it. Being able to study is a gift and one of the most indulgent times in life. Enj...
Hi Joseph, You have actually made me register after your stationery post. I have been reading this site since the start of the year but hadn't registered until tonight. I have been hovering in the background awaiting the right time to post. Yes, I am...
