Hmm, I think(?) I saw the same at the Mitsuwa last weekend... :headscratch:

I'm not absolutely positive, but I think there's a Marukai label on them. I'll have to check it out next time I go there.

I rarely go to Mitsuwa. Usually just to buy Maui takuan and Momoya brand gohan desuyo since they're cheaper than at Marukai (as if anyone really cares) :bleh:

Curry Soda on the left....Wasabi Soda on the right. They must taste better than champagne.

They also have Garlic Naan soda which you mix with the curry soda and then shoot in to your mouth under high pressure.

You don't like south asian cuisine?! Which part? I'm not a fan of Indian cuisine so much because it's mostly vegetarian. But Pakistani food is to DIE for.

Yeah I'm not a fan of most Indian cuisine.....too heavily spiced for me...I haven't eaten in Lahore tho' or Karachi. :hehe:

You are a bold one, aren't you bunchkins.

I like weird stuff. :sweat:

I found some real gems, but half the time it's disappointing. Like that Aloe Vera juice. It tastes like white grape juice, because it's in the ingredients list. :pout:

I don't mind spicy food but i don't eat it often...when you constantly eat food that is really hot....it f*cks up your taste buds....

like this one guy i know...when he eats sushi...he makes his wasabi-joyu (wasabi mixed into soy sauce) with so much wasabi it's almost a paste....well what the hell is the point then? you can't even taste the fish!

My brother does that. :shakehead:

thin slices of cooked salmon with scrambled eggs sprinkled with black pepper. yum yum. :applaud:

oh yeah :beaten:

i just use straight shoyu ...especially if i'm eating nigiri sushi...i guess watching and learning from viewing all those japanese food documentaries over the last few years has rubbed off on me. ^_^

honestly i have never EVER seen a japanese food documentary or scene in a dorama involving a person eating sushi where the person used wasabi-joyu as a dipping sauce. NEVER. i've only seen them use soy sauce...which makes me speculate how often ppl in japan ever use wasabi-joyu.....

seriously, i simply have never seen it!
