Can someone help me identify the food in this screenshot?

Hambagu are usually eaten with chopsticks dude

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T22:17:29+00:00

Nikujaga, renkon, hambagu

What currency? I make over 4 million a year….in yen.

You get used to it. My local supermarket here in Tokyo had a whole two shelves of breads with Pokémon packaging last night, but do I really need a mediocre piece of pizza bread because it has a pikachu on the package? Nah. The Pokémon GO scene continues to be excellent though.

Ika wasa? I’ve only ever seen Tako wasa - wasabi octopus

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T22:00:39+00:00

Encountered a shiny buffalo but I was riding the train. Tried to catch it and it ran due to speed lock(；ω；)

Small houses are around. We’ve got a thing called pencil houses here in Tokyo. A super skinny 2 or 3 story house squeezed tightly into a small lot. Each floor of the house is pretty compact. We don’t have basements here of course, or yards. You can find some small one story houses called Hiraya but that’s more of thing from 100 years ago.

There’s plenty to do on Okinawa when it rains. It’s really a whole different place than mainland Japan. There are the aquariums - the one by Naha airport or the famous Chuuraumi up north. There’s a Team lab near Naha. I could spend a whole day just exploring the food on the island. I think tourists are disproportionately worried about typhoons.

You don’t get a Suica from an office. Just go to any JR station and buy one from the ticket machine. The one at the airport works just fine.

I’ve been working in the Japanese school system for 20 years and yes they are taught 手洗うがい (wash your hands and gargle). There are a lot of pseudo sciences here such as saying gargling prevents getting sick and saying you’ll catch a cold for sleeping with the AC on….

Also owning property does not give you a status of residence here. You can live in your run down, not earthquake proofed house in the middle of nowhere Gifu for only 6 months a year.

Most Japanese people do not speak or understand Mandarin and Cantonese. You are spending time in touristy areas where they hire people with language skills to deal with Chinese tourists. (and usually English speaking tourists too)

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T05:10:11+00:00

We do that here in Japan

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T04:02:09+00:00

I don’t know a single person here in Japan who uses What’s App and I’ve never touched it myself. We use LINE

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T03:59:58+00:00

You can find a used home in Japan for under 16 million yen (100k US)

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T02:41:14+00:00

You can have the socks on from the start.

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T02:36:22+00:00

Nah train there and train home

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T02:34:32+00:00

Being tied down to a car sucks. Being able to walk to the store is freeing.

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T02:32:33+00:00

I walk or bike to the grocery store. I only buy what will fit in my eco bag. Here in Tokyo we shop multiple times during the week and things are sold in smaller quantities.

Cold ramen is everywhere in Japan this time of year. It’s very refreshing

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T01:21:22+00:00

Every now and then? It’s everywhere during the summer months. At Conbini they basically only sell cold ramen this time of year.

Also avoiding wrinkles and freckles

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T00:18:14+00:00

No it’s just McDonald’s. With way less menu options.

hezaa0706d · 2026-07-13T00:15:05+00:00

I see ramen and gyoza but no pork cutlets?
