Cucumber Pepsi, Natto, and Onigiri

I delve into the world of Japanese foods today. Another drink (I love when new Japanese beverages come out), and two very common and very Japanese foods. Enjoy!

whats the stuff called thats like a triangle of rice with a black square at the bottem called? ive seen it in many animes

[broans]

That would be another type of onigiri. They have many different types, shapes, and colors!

uhhh is it like hard to get places? how are the restruants? how are the toys?is there alot of crime?

[broans]

If you know how to use the subways, it is very easy to get around. Restaurants are excellent, but you should always look around before choosing; often the easiest to find are the most expensive, and the harder, cheaper places are often much better. Uh, the toys? They seem cool, I guess. Lots of people like them; I don't pay much attention to them. And no, there's not a lot of crime. It isn't non-existent, but for such a big city there is a very low amount.

how is life in tokyo btw? how are the people? make friends? are they racist or not? how r the girls? how do u get along?

[broans]

Tokyo is great. It can be difficult as a foreigner, but if it were too bad we wouldn't stay! The people are generally friendly, though you do meet the occasional person who hates all foreigners. I do make friends, and many Japanese really want to meet more foreign people. Yes, quite a few are racist, but that's how it is in any country. The girls are very beautiful, though I'm not too interested in them. I get along pretty well, though would like to find a job other than teaching English!!

I think i know why there are dislikes cuz they are jealous of you eating onigri and they are jealous

BALALAIKA ASSAULTING MY EARS. I am now very very tempted to order cucumber pepsi... lol

[GaurdDuck]

Convenience store Onigiri? Interesting. I've only ever made them at home. Onigiri are supposed to have the nori on them be moist. Well, if you like that, then try noriben.

I want to try the ice cucumber pepsi

[deafomega]

natto is indeed intimidating

but yeah seaweed is the shit!

[Duckhugger]

I haven't tried Ice Cucumber Pepsi but I did have the Azuki flavored one (which I found pleasant enough, despite not really liking soda in the first place).

I also love nattou, funny I had just eaten some before watching this video. Usually I just go the non-fancy route and eat it plain as well... although sometimes I like to put it on things. I had it on a slice of bread a couple days ago and thought the combination wasn't too bad.

[LadyWeasel]

Not sure I would like the Ice Cucumber Pepsi, but I'd try it for argument's sake. The natto... umm.. I've tried it by itself. It didn't kill me, but I wasn't very fond of it. I thought it was horrible, but I have 2 other containers, so I'll give it another shot over rice. The Onigiri looks delicious! I want one!

[SailorBarsoom]

I tried natto once. Just plain natto in a bowl. I didn't hate it, but I didn't care much for it either. I'd be willing to try it again, as part of a dish (with rice, as part of an onigiri, with egg, etc.).

I don't care for mayonnaise much myself, except with tuna. I always keep some mayo around for tuna. Thus, I'm sure I'd like tuna/mayo onigiri. My local Asian market might have onigiri; I'll have to check.

I'll never get to try Ice Cucumber Pepsi. :(

I like nori, and really wouldn't know how to describe the taste.

My girlfriend hates nori, and describes the taste as "strong spinach." She also hates spinach, though, while I rather like it.
