  • Yeah I had a similar experience buying one at a festival and was not a huge fan, which surprised me as I like chicken skin in general. But the way they do it on the skewers is just not appetizing.

    Had to look up denkushi, as I’d just seen them called kawa, and seems like it’s the term one izakaya chain called shinjidai uses. Apparently there’s only like 5 of them in Tohoku so I’ve never been to one.



  • “the Japanese eat it” is hardly a ringing endorsement.

    True, but I’ve gotten used to a lot of their stuff at this point. In light of this thread I was gonna bring up sea cucumbers being both soft and crunchy at the same time. Probably one of the weirdest textures I’ve been exposed to.








  • Does this mean the original tomato varieties from South America aren’t being grown anymore? Is this one of those things like they weren’t very good, like watermelons 200 years ago being mostly green inside with only a little red and then they were gradually bred for more fruit content?
