I like a lot of Japanese stuff that is an acquired taste: mugicha, ume boshi (pickled plum), natto (fermented soy beans). When I eat batayaki or sukiyaki or shabu shabu, I like to dip my meat in raw egg.
I saw a show not that long ago, where Japanese people catch small fish. They salt them, then bury them in rice, raw. And then the next year they dig them out and eat them after they have fermented. That looked interesting. |

Green Tea (as I understand) is a formiddable weapon against cancer. They've also discovered that coffee is full of anti-oxydents. Not to mention the salutary effects of 2-3 drinks a week.

I know you would love to say that caffeine is good for you, but the evidence is increasingly against it.

Since you couldn't drink tap-water in Korea, pretty much everyone made "Barley-tea" when they boiled their water to improve the taste.
It was pretty much like drinking water filtered through cardboard.

Warm Kombu-cha is nice. Otherwise, I hate all teas, herbal or otherwise.

I used so say the Japanese had found a way to make burnt water.
