New Food!
Coming to Japan, I was a very picky eater. There were few things that I would eat, and anything in the seafood category was a no. Since I have been in Japan, I have started making a list of everything new that I have eaten, and I am so glad that I came here with an open mind to try all food!
1. Keema Curry - food I had on plane from Honolulu to Hawaii with black beans, chick peas, carrots, and curry paste
2. Korokke - Named after french croquette
3.Shrimp Tempura
4.Karaage - basically fried chicken
5. Kushiage - type of Japanese cooking that is very similar to fondue

On Saturday night, we had a gyoza party because it is one of my favorite foods! We made over 200 gyoza with beef, shrimp and tofu, and tofu and chicken. All three were yummy!
