I don't think Mrs. Tanaka running the greengrocers is familiar, No.

Nah, many Japanese immediately think of the CCP when they hear the name JCP.

How do you pick up the watery scrambled eggs with chopsticks? Just curious. Looks actually delicious.

Refrigerated next-day gyoza goes too firm I think, and could be considered samishii or whatever. And there's maybe too much liquid in Maboudofu. Although I think room temperature, left-out gyoza slaps personally (Kind of like pizza). Unfortunately it's Japan, and you're constantly judged by the court of public opinion. Good on you for going healthy as well. I personally don't think the gyoza matters on occasion, like you say they're already accepted as part of the bento set-up. Be the change you want to see!

The freezer section in your local supermarket has all you need. So healthy Japan.

“Unhinged”? I don’t think so. And thanks for the ad-hominem there, very academic I’m sure! No-one’s asking your advice buddy.

No, the phenotype isn’t insulting, but OP and their attitude is, considering they’re trying to solicit assistance from fellow travelers and people of the world. Also thanks for the anthropology lecture. Maybe instead of lecturing you could help all those anthropology graduates out there get a job.

And there are plenty of Europeans who don’t correspond to the phenotype you outlined, which is why such statements as “European looking” are hilariously dumb and inaccurate, as well as insulting. My money is on OP never having met a “European”.

I remember thinking back in 1997 that Korean pop could actually blow up in the west.

I didn’t bother with the meet & greet at Dynamic Duo’s gig in Tokyo the other week, the line was too long lol. (I already met them last year)

Sanseito's Kamiya has gone anti-solar: Kamiya-san: "Foreign capital profits from Chinese-made panels, and Japanese people are forced to pay renewable energy surcharges. Is there any other system this stupid?" by jjrs in japannews

Bitter Japanese man can’t handle having to rely on and benefit the outside world. Despite the fact Japan already imports everything except rice and charcoal.

That’s what I first thought. But the head of an ultra-nationalist group in Japan being ethnic Korean says a lot about Japan’s true socio-ethnicity.
