This blog is dedicated to my semester in Japan :) And for those of you wondering, 'Nihon' means Japan, so 'Japan Natalie'.... I know it doesn't really make sense but I like alliteration and I also like Engrish.

食べ物3

So I figured that after singing the praises of most Japanese food, I would also mention those food experiences that have been kind of... weird.

The first of these was ウニ or sea urchin:




I valiantly tried it and thought it was disgusting. I ate this whole sushi in one bite so it took me a while to swallow it too... ick.

Next, bones. I have no idea what animal these bones belonged to, all I know is that they cooked them on the BBQ then we ate them and it was probably one of the weirdest things I have ever eaten. I did not particularly enjoy it.

Finally (wow, short list) natto, or fermented beans (I think...). This is a traditional new year food but my family bought natto sushi and I tried it. I only had a tiny bit so I can't be all that accurate, but suffice to say, I will not be rushing out to eat natto again any time soon....
