Yakiniku Gone Wrong

Well, this retro Showa-themed yakiniku place (Japanese-style Korean barbecue) looked innocent enough. Little did I know that I’d be eating raw heart and liver within a few minutes upon entering. I can definitely live happily without eating most of the stuff again, but, hey, now and then I need to push my limits. Most of the meat/organs/guts we ate were cooked at the table, by the way, but the second photo, although blurry, is of the liver meant to be eaten raw (and done that way). P.S. I definitely realize the real appeal of this place is not in shocking/grossing out Americans… it’s all about the texture of the food (very important in Japan!).

Pizza Hut Japan Strikes Back

Every once in a while, H and I really like to trash up our bodies good with some Pizza Hut, and from the looks of their inventions, it seems like Pizza Hut Japan thinks heart disease is a some kind of joke. This is the new “cheesy roll” pizza, not to be confused with the “sausage crust” pizza H talked me into trying last year. Half of our “cheesy roll” was “gorgeous salmon”, and half was “gourmet”. I must say, the gourmet half was pretty darn tasty. For a closer look at the offerings of Pizza Hut Japan, look here.
