I tried cooking Japanese food for the first time today... I tried to cook butaniku udon (pork japanese noodles). It was okay... but I really couldn't base myself on any recipe so I just went with my gut feeling. (pictures). I also finally bought a spatula and some chopsticks in the place I had went yesterday. This time alot more stores were open because new years holiday is over. While I was there, I saw a big lineup for a snackfood that seemed appetizing, so I waited in line, not even knowing what they were serving. I asked a lady what was inside that food, and she said TAKO. I wasn't sure what that word was, so I looked in my electronic dictionary and it spit out: octopus. I am not a big fan of octopus so I hastily told the lady that I didn't like octopus and started going out of line, and she then said: but it is delicious! So I kind of felt obliged to taste it. I was a little bit confused as to how to use the condiments (I was even more clueless as to what they were). Hopefully that very kind lady was there to help me.. .she was telling me what to use and in what quantities. The octapus ball-shaped snacks proved to be delicious... I would have taken a bigger portion! Tomorrow I am leaving for Kyoto so there will not be any entry before Monday.
