The food day I have been waiting for!

I knew it would happen eventually, but I didn't know it would be so soon and soooooo good! I have been slightly embarassed by how little Japanese food I've had, not having eaten anything new, and not having met a food buddy. Now, it's a whole new world.

The day started off at a curry house (finally!) that was even better than "curry house" and cheap. For $7, I got all this food. I'm definitely getting used to the no tipping thing. It not only makes things cheaper, but doesn't let anyone skip out on part of the bill.




After school happy hour was next, and a yakitori shop was where I tried my first piece of new food. #2 Hormone is not a typo . Some kind of meat is actually called hormone. I'm not sure whether it's pig, cow, bird, or other. I'm not sure whether it's skin, liver, rectum, or other. All I know is that it was chewy. After about 25 minutes of chewing, I decided to swallow it whole. I tried to look up what this strange hormone meat is, but the google hits don't seem relevant. Below the menu is the actual hormone. We also had yakitori and veggie kebab and beer.

If you thought I was brave to try hormone, wait 'til you see this next one. Jess, please don't read this. Take a look at the bottom of the menu. It's a type of sashimi that I've never had.
You saw it right....horse! I ate raw horse meat! It was surprisingly delicious. Or, at least better than I was expecting.





This restaurant was pretty darn good. I had the best sake of my life, and all of us ate more than we could handle. Across the table from me is Josh - my new eating buddy. He is ready to try fugu... I don't think I am. Next to him is Drew who will also be eating Japanese food with me all the time. Next to me is Eitan... who suggested pizza.
