Introducing washoku : Natto

Nattō (なっとう or 納豆?) is a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis. It is popular especially as a breakfast food. As a rich source of protein, nattō and the soybean paste miso formed a vital source of nutrition in feudal Japan. Nattō can be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and slippery texture. In Japan nattō is most popular in the eastern regions, including Kantō, Tōhoku, and Hokkaido.[1]

 Natto is this SUPER STICKY....THING. (Honest confession: Ive never heard of natto until i came to japan....OTL i am a failure . yes i know)
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA *facepalms*
The description above should explain it good~~~~



The taste how shall i say.....
Is very.....unique. like all fermented foods, and you have to just try it yourself
Most foreigners dont really like natto. Because.. of the strong smell/taste.
But i like it with rice. I eat almost everything thats why.
BUT PLEASE TRY NATTO TOO!! YOU CAN GET IT AT ANYWHERE!....at least anywhere here in japan :3

Your typical cafeteria?

CAFETERIA ...

Surprisingly early.  (The teacher let us out early :P )

MY CURRY~~~


Ah i should have took pictures of the display sets.
We have two floors and its always packed like HELL.
Its terrible...but you have to run to beat the crowd. just like the conbini.
Its japan, what do you expect.

I will take a video of our cafeteria routine. Its not so much of a shock to the Americans since they have cafeterias. For us... we have foodcourts so >_>
But anyways.....

THE CURRY IS 180YEN (2.25AUD / 2.89BND) .
Insanely cheap? Yes that is Japan for you - though not EVERY food is cheap here. But ^^
The side dish was karaage (fried chicken???) And you have to pay extra if you want anything else to go with it.
I had a good meal ^o^



Just a bonus.
Me and Jyan went crazy and bought cookies during the break.


Introducing washoku : GYUDON YA

Otoko demo onna demo kankezuni zehi gyudon ya ni ittekudasai!!!!!
It does not matter if one is a guy or a girl, please go to the Gyudon shop!
Why do i say this because Gyudon has a classic "guy/manly" image. So mostly you only find guys inside and its super awkward if you go in alone as a woman.
Well go with your girlfriends or guyfriends. :3 Its really worth it. TRUSTO ME!

My kimchi gyudon with miso shiru and RAW EGG

YES RAW EGG OMG. I will make an entry on TKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I will take a nicer picture of a classic gyudon. (This time i got the one with kimchi, the other time i got cheesee.. mm cheese) That is....errr. 280en? (3.5AUD / 4.5 BND)
[But Brunei food is cheap might not be as a bigger shock to those from that country :P]

BUT THATS THE 並 size ...and its already too big for me....
They have like middle, big, special and MEGAAAAAAAAAAA which is insanely big i dont think i will ever finish that bowl. It is something like that rainy gyudon thing that Yu and his friends never get to finish. Makes me feel like getting on just because of that. :3
