How many smiles do you usually order?
>>7
in japanese macdonald,
smile order becomes wry smiles :(
WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Golden Curry. And udon.
Daikon (or anything that is pickled/can be used in pickles). Not only are they delicious (atleast to me), they are very very healthy. I also reccomend picking up red bean paste (delicious) and konnyaku (very very healthy and can be delicious if cooked correctly). Look around and don't be hesitant to try anything. Remember after eatting different foods your taste buds will slowly change! Food tastes are a cultural thing not genetic!
akai kitsune(instant udon noodle) is the best!!! you guys gotta try it!
>>14
lol yea...I like it,too.
I ate Midori no Tanuki today though. :P
yakisoba is my favorite!
usually seaweed and melon bread =X
In my city there is an Asian supermarket. Mostly what they have is Chinese, but they also have some products from other parts of East Asia.
I go there mostly for the vegetables:
kai lan
red spinach
but also for the short grain sweet jasmine rice. And the spicy instant noodle bowls. And jars of chili paste. And sesame oil. And big jugs of soy sauce and mirin. And dried hot peppers in big plastic bags. And the wide flat rice noodles that they call "chow fun."
Does this make me a weeaboo? D:
My asian supermarket has Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai and some other stuff too. I mostly get Japanese and Korean snack foods. Canned drinks too.
MC Donalds teh best
My closest East Asian supermarket is half an hour train ride away. I usually buy edamame, nattou, and a green leafy vegetable whose name ends with choy (bak choy, pak choy, gai choy). Sometimes I buy mochi too (I've made it a few times from rice flour, but it's painful and difficult).
Sometimes I eat that new Asian salad at McDonald's. Does that make me a weeaboo?
My Japanese market has onigiri, Spicy Tuna is the one I like. I'm hesitant to buy Japanese products.
Im looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be
of 2 or more kotoba (thats japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And
has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it
first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching
chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made
out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was
made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to
the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan (rice) to touch my
other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)
One word: Pocky (^_^)b
i love exploring the asian supermarket... unfortunately most of the time the label is completely in japanese/chinese/korean or the english description is vague
just the other day i bought this pack of four.. uh.. they looked like cakes, and it had "red bean" written on it, so i assumed it was cakes with red bean paste inside. "nice!" i thought, but i get home and unwrap it and.. it's some sort of... dust..... it was just yellow dust packed into a cake shape. it tasted like peanuts. then i looked at the lebel, ingrediants: red bean, sugar
wtf? o___o
I would guess that those are dried red beans ground into powder. Sorry, I wish I could help you but I don't know enough to tell you about how they're made. I can tell you there are also dried "green" beans (I think the English term is "mung beans") that are ground into powder and pressed into cakes in the same way.
Yup, there's a lot of ways to use red beans...
>>27
I don't know what to say, but that was funny nonetheless.
pocky, c.c.lemon, lamune and yakisoba one with the kewpie mayo on.
I don't have an "official" Japanese market where I live, although the generic oriental ones and the Korean one both have Japanese food. I'm quite fond of the vegetables though and the large sacks of rice I can buy.
I haven't been to my local Asian market yet. My mother did come across it though. She bought me a 6 pack of lamune and other snacks for Christmas.
melon bread !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE LAMUNE
I have always wanted to try melon bread.
delicious stick (the store I go to has some generic stuff, I really want to try all the umaibo flavors), ramune (regular, peach), panda cookies, gatsby hair wax, pocky (almond, green tea), tea's tea, cream yaki, bakauke goma.
I wish they sold: more umaibo, canned oden, and 6-packs of peach ramune.
>>37 no, they only have some generic kinda umaibou. It comes in one flavor- i think seasoned sweet corn. I'm really pissed, cuz I read a lot fo the flavors of real umaibou are really good and interesting.
pocky, ramune variants, that one funky dairy-ish carbonated soft drink.
My favorite is curry (Vermont, Java, and Golden brands.) I also like anko, neri yokan, mochi, umedzuke, soba, and miso. I'm a vegetarian though, so I don't get to try some of the more.. interesting things.
>that one funky dairy-ish carbonated soft drink
Calpis? I've heard of it, but never seen it. I tried Pocari Sweat just for the novelty of it, it tasted like Gatorade and cost 3 times as much.
They just started selling umaibou party packs at the supermarket I mentioned (comes with 5 flavors 2 each, 10 in all + some other cracker snacks).
I was thinking maybe some employees of mitsuwa might have seen this thread or something and had taken up some of my suggestions, so I'm going to do it again. My #1 pick is canned oden. #2 is more variety in their umaibou.
what's lamune?
korean eats a dog and a cat

The Japanese market I go to has a lot of stuff. I just mostly like to look, but I love to buy ramune. Any flavor is good, but I like melon flavor a lot. I used to enjoy getting pocky, but I don't really care for it anymore, I prefer vanilla yanyans. What's great about this market is that it's downstairs in a little resturant place. I love going there for their beef curry and salmon onigiri. They also sell nice sweets.
I buy curry pan, kabocha croquette, frozen taiyaki, bento boxes (usually saba or some sort of sushi), frozen croquettes, takoyaki, okonomiyaki mix, soba, udon, miso salad dressing, shochu... and basically any ingredients I need to make recipes for meals. (like shungiku, or shimejitake or mochi)
It's Nijiya Supermarket which has a few stores on the west coast, and I like it because it has pretty good selection. The store up in my college town is run by Koreans, so it doesn't have good selection of Japanese stuff, it's more Korean stuff, with pocky and stuff on the side to draw in college kids. (I wanted to make omanju with an, but they didn't carry any an, so I have to make it myself) For me having a good variety is very important.
Last time I went I bought these plum candies. They start off salty which almost made me spit it out the first time, but then it gets to the hardcore plum taste. I just dont like the chewy center because if they ever touch your teeth, they'll stick like superglue.
I also bought some red bean covered dango, and dammit, I forgot to bring them from my house to my dorm.
