#8 - Rice Curry, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Grapes and Mechi Katsu

 Hello~! Today's Food Diary Is Rice Curry, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Grapes and Mechi Katsu! I Hope You Enjoy This Food Diary For Today!

Rice Curry - Curry Or Rice, Why Not Both!

Today For Lunch, Me And My Grandma Made Curry With Rice, It's Rice And Curry Combined Into One Dish, You Cook The Rice, And Add Curry Seasoning, It's A Great Recipe! My Grandma And I Love It, So Good, And My Friend And Sister Even Tried It, Mmm! So Tasty!

Roasted Sweet Potatoes - Potatoes That Are Sweet And Roasted, All In One!

MMM!!! THIS SWEET POTATO IS SO GOOD!!! And I Learned How To Cook Sweet Potatoes Today, Really Great, And It's Roasted Sweetness On The Inside, Was Really Cool And Tasty, And The Texture Was Sweet, So That's What A Sweet Potato Inside Tastes Like!

Grapes - A Type Of Berry Fruit!

Oh, Did I Discover Some New Type Of Berry Today? Well, They Are Grapes, And They Are Like Round Fruits, And They Are Small! And The Taste Of It Is So Juicy And Soft! And I Like It! I Was Kinda Expecting Some Kind Of New Fruit, But It's Actually Grapes!

Mechi Katsu - A Strange Type Of Japanese Cuisine! 

What Is Menchi Kasu? Well, According To My Reasearch, "Menchi katsu (メンチカツ) is a Japanese breaded and deep-fried ground meat patty — essentially a deep-fried hamburger cutlet with a crispy, golden crust The name comes from menchi (minced) and katsu (cutlet), reflecting its minced meat and cutlet form"

So It's A Deep Fried Meat Patty, Pretty Great Right, Also, It's The First Deep Fried Meat I Ever Had In Japan!

Anyways, My Final Thoughts On These Foods Are The Sweet Combination Of Rice Curry, The Fullness Of Roasted Sweet Potatoes, The Sweet And Juicy Grapes, and the foreign deep fried food of Japan, Mechi Kasu!

#5 - Soft Serve, Plum Wine, Barley Tea, Crepe and Raw Egg Over Rice

 Hello! It's Me, Suzume Tachibana, Welcome To Another Food Tasting Journey With Me! I Wonder What Are We Trying Today?

Soft Serve - A Creamy Delight!

Well, Soft Serve Is Basically Like Ice Cream, But Creamy, Anyways, That Flavor I Tried Is Blueberry, When I Licked The Creamy Taste Of Blueberries And Cream, It Tastes Like It's Sweet And A Bit Cold!

Well, That's How I Describe Soft Serve In One Sentence, It's Tasty And Cool!

Plum Wine -  An Unusual Tradition 

Okay, So My Grandma Has A Vineyard In Japan (A Vineyard Is A Garden Where They Make Wine) What I learned from her is that she is from a long line of historical wine-makers! 

Plum Wine Is Made From The Plum Fruit, It Is Squeezed Into A Special Juice Maker For Wine, And All Of The Sweet, Juicy Goodness Comes Out Of It, Making It's Juicy And Full Juice, Plum Wine Juice, And Also, The Plums Are Inside The Wine (Basically, The Plums Inside The Wine Is Like Ice, But Fruity!)

Me, My Sister And My Grandma Tried It, And It Was Both Sweet And Fruity, I Haven't Had Traditonal Wine Before, But It's Tasty!

Barley Tea - A Strange Plant, Combined With Tea?

Anyways, Barley Tea, What Is Barley, By The Way? Well, Barley is a widely cultivated, nutrient-rich cereal grain from the grass family, known for its stalks, dense, bearded spikes, and chewy texture, It Is Used For Food And Drinks, And Also Livestock!

It's Sweet When You Mix Barley And Tea Into One Drink, And It's Double The Drink Trying In One Day, And The Tea Flavor Is Very Strong, It's Basically The Barley Flavor After Being Made Into Liquid!

Crepes - Wrapped In Delightful Flavors, And Sweetness!

Ah, Today's Snack Is Basically Crepes, All Kinds Of Crepes, Crepes Are Sweet And Come In Many Different Flavors, The Crepe That I Got Is A Strawberries And Creme Crepe, And It's Very Good, Basically, Crepes Are Wrapped In Some Shell Kind Of Thing And It's Sweet!

Raw Egg Over Rice - When A Raw Food Meets A Cooked Food

Ending For Today's Food Discovery, I Recently Had Dinner A While Ago, And I Cooked Something Cool That Is Combined! It's Raw Egg Over Rice! What This Recipe Is Is You Cook The Rice First, And Then You Break The Raw Egg Over It, Making It A Raw Egg And Cooked Rice Combo, When I Had The First Bite, It Was Super Delicious, The Raw Egg Combined With The Rice, Was Super Good, I Haven't Even Cooked A Raw Egg Before Until Now, And I Never Knew This Recipe Even Existed!

With The End For Today, I Will Like To Recount My Thoughts, The Sweet And Creamy Soft Serve Was A Delight, The Plum Wine Was An Exotic Delight From A New Country, And Barley Tea, From A Plant That I Discovered, Crepes, A Specialty Of Sweets, And Raw Egg Over Rice, A Weird Combonation And A Discovery At The Same Time!
