Little fishies! oh, my
Mood:  incredulous
Wed. Nov. 19th
Please don't order takikomi gohan unless you like little fishes staring out at you while you munch them down. We had it for lunch today. The little fishes are called "shirasu boshi" (that means little fish in Japanese) - oh I see! Well, they are staring at me while I'm eating them! Achhh.. The bowl of rice looks like it's teaming with what I would call "dried fry" which are little guys who have just hatched a few days ago. The good news is they are pretty bland and not real fishy tasting. They are quite chewy because they have been dried. They just look so real swimming around in my rice. I am surprised that this is the first time since coming to Japan that it was a bit hard to eat my food!
