 It’s the staple amongst many of us “anime watchers” diets. It’s cheap, easy and delicious. It’s warm broth, its scrumptious aroma and inviting noodles are keeping most of us warm this winter while being easy on our piggy banks. What am I talking about? I’m talkin about ramen!!! I wanted to find out more about the elusive Asian noodle so I decided to do some cyber searching on the subject and here’s what I found out! History of the Noodle |

Sake is on my list of things I want to try out, but I'm having a tough time finding some.   |

Sake is great, I find its taste heavily comparable to white wine. People say you have to serve it warm but I like both warm and normal.  |

But, I have no idea about their legitimacy. Bugsquasher said: Sake is great, I find its taste heavily comparable to white wine. People say you have to serve it warm but I like both warm and normal. I read that the lower quality stuff is served warm & all of it is mostly served warm in the winter. The brewers work in the winter so it only makes sense that drinking it warm would be the most common way. However, heating it up makes the good stuff lose its flavor and aroma, so it is thought to be wasting it if it isn't drunk chilled. As for myself, unfortunately I have never tried any kind of sake either. I don't really dig the Japanese cuisine, so I don't visit authentic restaurants any more. It would be worth the trip though. After the research I really want to try it! |

I can simply buy sake at a local liquor store. It is expensive though, 14 euros per bottle (normal wine is like 5 euros per bottle). |

A lot of forerunners in fashion bring stuff out of the district. There are many styles that scream harajuku. More Harajuku Pix  I love how the fashion embraces individuality. Even though, the concept is pretty much outdoing the next person. ^_^ Modified by gINGEr, 01-16-12, 11:53 PM |

Even though it's a tad bit late lol, don't forget to check the Nihonshu-do(SMV) to see if it's a sweet or dry sake. That along with the acidity should give a good general idea of what it will be.  |

Culture Time Feature: Kim-chi (김치)  This month’s Culture Time Feature is on Kimchi! Some have you might have seen it at your local Asian Market and others have a jar on hand obediently waiting to be consumed, sitting in the fridge to accompany that bowl of ramen or white sticky rice as you faithfully watch anime. I guess the question is what exactly is Kimchi and how is it made and where did it originated from? Hopefully, after this feature, you’ll want to run out and buy a jar. Happy Kimchi eating!

Kimchi tasted terrible to me. When I was over in Japan my host family I was staying with wanted me to try it. Apparently back in the day, Japan named Kimchi an official Atlanta Olympic food. So my host family thought since I was from the American South East I was supposed to love the stuff. That was not the case. Haha. RYOJI KAJI [to Shinji] So, I understand you're living with Katsuragi. SHINJI IKARI Uh, yeah... RYOJI KAJI So, is she still so... wild in bed? |
