The food always looks delicious, but on top of that, your presentation is just top notch. Sometimes I try to remember to take a min and make it look the way you might when we have guests over.

Did you get inspired from when I made it not to long ago on the old forum? also it’s awesome. Also the sauce in itself is easy to make, I don’t think you need a premade one

Post some pics. I don’t recall sorry. Yeah my son loves Japan and it’s our dream to save enough money and go visit. So for now he sends me recipes once a week and street food he wants to make and we go out buy the ingredients and prepare it together. Grating the yam was weird. It was very slimy.
I agree completely. I do like to buy the prepared first time out. Especially this brand Otafuku been around for like 40-50 years. Then I copy it and make it myself.
Go go go go go!!! I love Japan. I have only been to Tokyo and Narita. Narita is a smaller city outside Tokyo that is home to one of Tokyo’s 2 major aero ports (like Newark is to NY). When you decide it’s time to go for it let me know, and I can give you a couple hints for Tokyo (one of them is to actually stop in Narita and see the temple if possible).

I’ll try and see what I can dig up in the archives, but I made it less then a month ago or so 
I’m actually saving up right now so that me and my significant other can go to Japan in the coming year.

cation: Further derailment ahead, but it’s about food at least.
Will either of you be trying the fugu? There isn’t really a way to be touristy about it. No street vendors with it 
. It’s a couple bucks, you usually have to be dressed smartly (some places won’t allow westerners), and to help keep tourists out lots of restaurants that serve it require a min purchase per person who enters so that 5 Americans can’t come in to split 1 dish and get their Instagram on.

I probably would lean towards yes. I’m sure I’ll make a list of top 5 restaurants I want to go to as well. Once in a lifetime chance.

Since I greatly dislike fish, except Swedish Fish. I’m going to that’s a firm no.

This is for anyone who wants to copy your posts from same topic over.
I use the forum on my phone so I can’t do it. If anyone wants to copy their posts over that would be great. I am all for starting fresh but there is a lot of great posts so thanks to everyone!!
Yum. What’s in the stuffing?
