All Japanese always try to either feed it to me or at least ask if I can eat it or not. (^^)

Sushi, takoyaki, yakitori and umeboshi as well are favourites, but otherwise, I have mostly been introduced to nabe, yakiniku, sashimi, fisheyes and a lot of different -don:s.

And I have yet to try a kotatsu! I’ve got to get one of those one day. (*^^*)

I have one and only one sushi place out of 10 I’ve been to here that has this listed on the menu. If more people expect it, more places in the states will serve it.

( yama-gobo, daikon, and what the hell do you call those purple pickled cucumbers? http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-images-25825-tsukemono.html )

An interesting survey looking at what Japanese would introduce foreigners to.

I’ll pass on unagi and mentaiko though.
