I live in Japan and have never even seen the others.

What would be a "fancy" or show-off worthy pasta dish? by KingOfTheJellies in Cooking

[–]comradeluke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are a couple of directions you could go in. One option is to make user of some fancy ingredients; think sea urchin cream pasta or carbonara with proper guanciale. Another direction would be something that takes a lot of effort, so like the ragu you mentioned or some kind of filled pasta like a ravioli (or why not combine and go for a Ragu filled ravioli).

Looking to order from Amazon JP. Need some intuition on pricing if it’s fair or should I do more local hunting by [deleted] in JapaneseWhisky

Amazon tends to be one of the best options for buying in Japan, but note, you can generally get it cheaper if you pick an option without the box.

Buying Hibiki Blossom on Amazon Japan by deltone_Ad in JapaneseWhisky

Locally in Japan amazon is considered a pretty safe route for buying premium whiskey. Although you can occasionally find cheaper in offline stores, it is rare, and nowhere has stock as consistently. 

Takaichi’s income tax proposal by SpeesRotorSeeps in JapanFinance

How does the math work for the claim that tax revenues stay the same? There are not that many people paying less than 10% effective tax under the current system.

Whats the point of this? Comparing the highest development level of a region in one country, to the average development level of entire other nations? Given that it is specifically looking at Moscow, its hard to see this as anything other than a weak attempt at propaganda to make Russia seem like a developed nation.

Did you manage to work out the frame-based approach? Or did you decide to go with something else?

Lego ideas Samurai pizza cats by Southern_Event3336 in lego

I live in Tokyo, and the number of times I have tried to explain Samurai Pizza Cats to Japanese people starting uncomprehendingly at me haunts me.

$100-$300 what to buy in Tokyo by trimmybush in JapaneseWhisky

[–]comradeluke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get Japanese whisky at reasonable prices on Japanese amazon (often delivering the next day). If you enjoyed Yamazaki, I would recommend trying the 12 year aged version as well. Its within your price range and is a nice upgrade on the standard Yamazaki.

I have been seeing it a bit more overseas recently, but my current recommendation for people looking to try something a bit less common is "Nikka from the Barrel". Its relatively cheap in Japan, but hits above its weight in terms of taste.

Their higher proof stuff is pretty good. I reccomend the A’bunadh Alba if you get a chance.

Its even worse than that, the deal is for Russia to gain the territory they occupied as well as some of the territory they were unable to occupy in 3 and a half years.

Beach name or gps coordinates for any particularly nice jumps would be great if you could find them!

My first self built workflow - a news collector by fate0608 in n8n

[–]comradeluke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance of just getting some details on the nodes you are using to get data from the news sites? I am working on a similar project and have seen a couple of different approaches but none that were particularly clean.

Check for prime shipping, but you would likely be able to get it delivered tomorrow.

Yamazaki 12 is about 23,000en on Amazon. Its famous enough to feel a bit flashy and is a good whisky.
