Japan Expo 2006

Hmm, I'm thinkin' that this thread should be in the GD forum... Along with the Nisei Week thread and similar...

makes sense...i guess it's not necessarily a discussion that falls within the penumbra of the japanese entertainment industry/world

I went today. It was pretty ok. Watched the fashion show and the Taiko drum performances. Also waited an hour and half in line to get some takoyaki (so yummy!) and yakisoba. My brother didn't mind since he loved it.

Moving to the GD forum.

nice...i think the "food court" is one of the traditional favorites. all children of the earth love takoyaki.

I wish I could eat takoyaki. :puppydog:

ore mo, tabanadamus. go prophesize the location of the sacred takoyaki.

I'm still trying to find good ramen. I must've picked the wrong crystal ball and took the gossip version instead of the food one. :banghead:

"the gossip version" ... lol. didn't know you guys had your own supply store..... :beaten:

man, it's turned out to be scorching hot today so i decided against trying to rally the troops to go to the Japan expo....it's 91 degrees right now in downtown Los Angeles.....chotto atsui :sweat:

:bleh:

I don't even want to think about the smell in that place.

did you ever eat at that Ajisen Ramen spot i mentioned many moons ago? well if you're still interested next time i go grocery shopping i can look for those GooTa instant ramen bowls if you'd like to try them.

No. They are 2 locations and it's in Toronto. I used to go there once every 2 months, but since I know there is a Ramen chain, I've never been there. :puppydog:

As for the GooTa ramen, that'd be great, but I don't know if the package will cross the border. Packages with food always get open at the customs. :shamefulcry:

oh are you serious? well that would be wack! it's a styrofoam bowl that's shrinkwrapped in plastic....wow, that sucks....hmm...well if i were to send it i would obviously send one just to test the waters so to speak....i'll keep you posted.

Cool. :mrgreen:

If that doesn't work, they're always the speedboat or fake gas tank options. :hehe:

lol.....okay...talk about extreme measures to get a dose of japanese culture....we gotta hire drug runners to ferry ramen nowadays...

I vote krim for tail gunner. :hehe:

I found a store called Miyamoto foods. Apparently one, if not the only, Japanese food store in town. I'll try to see what they have in store first.

Agreed.... It's pretty much of a pointless thread.

that wasn't his point, you missed it completely, his point was that it doesn't focus on geinokai :shakehead:
