![]() Princess has two type of weapons: her sword and her magic powers. The game starts off with Princess chasing after a floating bad guy off a balcony and into town. Magical Pop'n lets you play a young, energetic little princess who is simply called Princess. Armed with a sword and her magic powers, the Princess Toaru sets off to retrieve the gem and save the world. One night, a dark figure and his army of monsters invades the castle and steals the gem. Because of this, it is sealed inside the castle to prevent the gem from landing in the wrong hands. Within Toaru castle lies the Magic Gem which legend says can give the person who holds it great magical powers. It's sometimes tough being the father of a very curious boy.The kingdom of Toaru is a prosperous and peaceful place that is famous for its magic. He knows more about stars and planets than I do. (Tabata-ya is the buckwheat noodle restaurant that I showed earlier in my foodblog.) He keeps wondering (and asking) whether there is an end to the universe. And, he is an absolute fan of Tabata-ya's buckwheat noodles. He likes to gather wild mushrooms when they are in season (accompanied by his father ), he likes to eat them, and he also likes all kinds of sansai (wild edible plants), like very bitter fukinoto (butterbur sprouts). He is really an exceptional 11-year-old boy. The reason why I prefer canned mackerel is that it's available anytime, cheaper (probably except when mackerel is in season), and you can eat the bones too. You can use frozen saba, but you may want to remove all the bones in that case. You will experience that when you have a kaiseki course. Another factor is this Japanese dining custom: If an alcoholic beverage (beer, Japanese sake, whatever) is served first, then rice is served last. I don't want to regret having both rice and alcohol the next day, when I stand on the bathroom scale. I want to know why no rice with umeshu, whether I can use frozen saba for the furikake, and what your son thinks about food and the universe.Īs I said in that post, I sometimes do this, skipping rice when drinking a considerable amount of alcohol, just for health concern. ![]() Hiroyuki-san, this has been a wonderful blog and I hate to see it end. My foodblog will remain open for some time, so feel free to ask. Many think, including me, that they are the most beautiful expressions in the Japanese language. In Japanese, these expressions are regarded as greetings just like "Hello" and "Good morning", and it's hard for us not to say them, especially when we have a meal with someone else. I haven't mentioned this so far, but my family always say "Itadakimasu", which means "(We/I) will (humbly) receive", before having a meal, and "Gochisousama" (or "Gochisousama deshita", which is a past form, and is more polite), which means "It was a feast", after having a meal. Thank you all for being part of my foodblog, which would not be the same without your input and support.Īs I have demonstrated for one week, most Japanese dishes are ridiculously simple, require a few seasonings, and take little time (if you choose to use instant dashi ).įor example, you can easily make niku jaga (Japanese meat potato stew) simply by replacing the curry roux with an 8:1:1 mixture of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. ![]()
