I don't think it's literally yoghurt. There is a carbonated version which is very nice but the regular stuff is better in my opinion.

It's also only the consistency of water so the carbonation doesn't really detract from it.

It should be no surprise to anyone with a passing familiarity with vidcons that pocky is the ideal food to snack on when playing mentioned objects ( although 'playing' is an inappropriate word, becuase you experience, rather than play, a vidcon: I shall use 'playing' for the sake of simplicity). For those ignorant to the intricacies of this fine Japanese cuisine, imagine a delicate stick of sweetened bread about the width and length of a chopstick, its tip coated in the richest chocolate imaginable. The bold flavor of the chocolate is complimented by the small nuts that caress the tip, creating a culinary juxtaposition of sweetness and saltiness that can only have been hatched in the mind of a chef versed in the subtle paradoxes of Eastern cooking. They are light and easy to eat and hold, useful for vidconning on the go, and their sugar content add that extra boost for late night vidcons. Therefore, pocky has garnered itself the precious title of "Ultimate Vidcon Snack". Perhaps the only drawback of pocky is its limited availability in the West, though this cannot be attributed to the snack itself, but the infuriating baboons that think they are running grocery stores.

>regionalized food
Most immigrants in Canada do not integrate. We have large Chinese, Korean, Iranian, etc. enclaves in cities, who prepare their food as they would back home. They aren't "Americanized" or producing bastardized versions, they are cooking it for other landed immigrants.

In many cases, the only differences between ethnic foods in Canada versus their homeland that I could detect is the freshness of the ingredients (mainly seafood) or available cuts/meats (e.g.: Japan).

Omitting the "atmosphere", I'd can't really say the food in China, Thailand, or Korea was much better than the good restaurants I've been to in Toronto or Vancouver. More diverse dishes in the homeland, but the quality wasn't necessarily better.

We have better hygiene and meat quality here. If the chef is good and can get all the ingredients, the location you are eating it doesn't matter.

Welcome to the global world.

The greatest soda in existence is pic related. Literally the only soda float I've ever liked as well (got it by accident the first time since it was listed as cream soda).

Everyone I've ever given it to as a gift has agreed and I always am asked to lug back tons of it whenever I'm in Japan.

Its just fucking annoying because it is only sold bottle size at some 7 and i-Holdings or served as a fountain drink at some family restaurants. Its impossible to buy in bulk or at grocery stores and the knock off melon sodas that you can find in Japanese stores are all garbage.

Seems a shame that Coke Japan is sitting on such a gold mine and seems to have no clue since Japanese people don't drink much soda and just regard it as one of the common flavors of Japan.

I don't think you've explored enough or just were simply thinking of your travel budget and not realizing the difference in price.

For me cheesesteaks and sushi are good examples of the world not being truly global when it comes to food. Cheesesteaks are pretty basic. Thinly sliced steak, cheese (provolone or american), onions, and a sub/hoagie roll. Seems easy enough but they tend to suck outside of the northeast, especially the farther you get away from Philly since the bread is extremely important and that style just isn't made elsewhere. The cooking technique and cut of the steak is important as well. Steak cut that style just isn't found commonly in the US. And that bullshit technique you'll find on the internet about freezing the steak a little and then cutting it with a sharp knife are nonstarters since you still end up with steak that is way to thick and you end up with bits instead of sheets since the proper cut of meat isn't sold in blocks.

Sushi is another good example because recently you have been able to get sushi as good as Japan in some of the major cities in the world. The problem is Japanese grocery store sushi for about 500 yen is better than nearly all of the low to mid-tier places I've been to. American grocery store sushi is obviously garbage since even premade sushi is kept at just below room temp since refrigeration ruins the the rice. The higher end sushi I've had in the US tends to be about the same as the half way decent low-mid places in Japan, but its just such a rip off for what you're getting at those prices.

I'll admit however I wasn't wowwed the first time I went to a mid-tier place in Japan compared to the US, but once you eat enough of it and come back you realize how garbage so many places are in the US. Theres a reason the fried and super sauce covered sushi are the most popular, its because the underlying fish and rice are just really bad.

Those bottles are actually an old British design called a "Cobb neck bottle". It was invented well before the advent of the modern metal "cap".

As the metal "crown cap" was invented & become cheap to manufacture most brands stopped using the Cobb type bottle, but a few brands kept it to stand out & be different than the rest. Ramune is well known. I think there's also an Indian soft drink that uses the same kind of bottle.

I thought it was. Just understand that it is pricey, but you will almost always have the car to yourselves, the seats are two by two and massive, and the atmosphere is generally more comfortable.

You will need to also prebook your seats. I just feel the need to warn you, but its super easy. You just go to any JR Station booth and tell the attendant the time you want to leave and where you are going.

It is a luxury purchase. For me it ended up being about 75 dollars more for my pass. We used the shit out of it though. Went to Osaka, Kyoto, Kamakura, and Hakone.

OK, so when I was stationed in Oki everyone would go to CoCos and get curry. When you got some variety of katsu style curry there was this kind of dark brown sauce you could use as a condiment. It wasn't katsu sauce but man it just brought everything together perfectly.

I've learned how to make a decent curry and katsu but that sauce is my one missing link. Does anyone know what it's called or where it is available?

I just discovered a seafood supermarket that seems to sell a lot of Asian foods (Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and maybe some Korean).

What all should I buy from there? Are the meat and produce usually good or should I stick to my typical grocery stores for that? This market definitely has a great assortment of fish so I'll go to them when I cook something more than pre-seasoned salmon. They have an entire aisle of noodles so I've just been trying brands that look appealing. I also picked up pic related and it was pretty good. They have a lot of frozen vegetarian stuff that I'd like to try but I don't want to spend my money on something unappealing or with mystery ingredients.
