/jp/ - Otaku Culture

The reason most people fail to understand Japanese in the long run is multifaceted, but the common failure point is あんこ (red bean paste). Foreigners just don't understand that this is the undercurrent to all Japanese thought, culture and bodily functions. Once you start to realize how important あんこ is you will see it everywhere, and eventually you will see the deep through line that connects all Japanese and you will be able to understand and speak fluently.
