Ahhhh ok...when my parents and I went to a Japanese resturant my dad has katsu...but it was pork...i didnt like it too much because it was too dry for my taste

I never really tasted pork katsu but chicken taste pretty good. Actually i felt kinda dumb when a friend of mine let me try it for the first time because i didnt know if it was chicken or fish.

Yup....in Tokyo because the trains stop running around 1am if you want to go out on Friday or Saturday night and live far away from where you are going to have fun a lot of people just stay out all night until the trains start running again in the morning (5 or 6am)...so people sometimes go to the Tsukiji Fish Market and have fresh sushi for breakfast, after a night of partying.

Yah when my dad was in Japan he said that when he was on a train and the train stopped Sushi vendors would come out and thats all you could eat. Funny thing is he used to live in Japan and doesnt like Japanese food in general but I (who have never been) love Japanese food. He was in Japan in the 60s and 70s I believe

cool. i'm sure now there are tons of restaurants that stay open late or even 24 hrs so the selection of food has probably increased tremendously over the last 3 or 4 decades
