romantic relationship please 👉👈

I'd prefer male for gender to be matched up with:3

thanks in advance <333

SINNY-CHANNN OMG HIII 🥹🩷 I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUR REQUEST IN MY ASK BOX!!! I must tell you, the character I matched you up with came to my mind almost effortlessly... idk why but I just thought "HIM." Period. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your match-up!! ❤️🍡 *some dango for you to eat while reading my little work*

🔮 For this event, I match you up with... ITTO

🔮 Why did I choose him for you?

• Itto is the least judgmental person who ever walked on this planet • He's not the smartest, but he takes care of others in his own way (thinking about how he made everyone stop fighting during the Chasm quest) • Itto is a little (well... big actually) ball of sunshine, but his clothes are pretty dark... I have a feeling that you might like his style • I can see you tracing all his red lines just to find out if they're ticklish (spoiler: they are) • BUT... our favorite oni won't let it slide... prepare yourself to get wrecked, my dear • I think Itto is one of those people who get worried sick after they're done tickling the life out of you and become an anxious and agitated mess, which is fun to see, considering how careful he is to never overstep your boundaries • Like... you're fine but he's going around like Taz from Looney Tunes and bring you water, sweets and everything that might make you comfy • He would LOVE to play any kind of games with you... and he'd actually be a good match (unless you're playing trivia or strategy games) • He would shower you with food and then he'd eat together with you!! He'd take you around through the various festivals in Inazuma to make you try the best delicacies from the best stands • He'd introduce you to the gang as "the vice boss"... and everyone would call you that, except Shinobu. She'd quickly make friends with you and give you tips about how to survive in uni • Big tickle fights with the whole gang!! Although Itto would always be on your side hehe... you're his beloved after all • Dates with him would be romantic in their own way... nothing excessively sweet, but he'd do his best to make you feel loved and appreciated 24/7 (unless it's your anniversary... in that occasion he'll go all out with something so flashy that you almost die from embarrassment)

🔮 Tickle scenario "Oh and this is also good... and then we should go there! And we can't miss that ramen stand!" You barely managed to keep up with Itto's pace as he dragged you to every stand that was at the Irodori Festival.

You had already tasted soba, unagi chazuke, a portion of a so-called invigorating kitty meal, onigiri, katsu sandwich, an egg roll and an egg roll sushi and even some udon, and even though they were all small portions to just let you have a taste of everything, you were starting to feel quite full already. The problem was that Itto wasn't showing any sign of satiety yet!

"Itto, baby... don't you think we've already eaten enough..?" You tried to question him, but he just started rambling (loudly) about how you needed to try everything to enjoy the experience to the fullest. It was endearing to you how hyper he could get about the simplest things... and he had even managed to behave for a week just for you, to not ruin your festival experience! You really couldn't say no to him...

This is how you ended up lying down on the grass near the Statue of the Seven in Ritou, with your bellies about to burst but also with the widest smiles ever. "Did you have fun, Luv?" The oni asked you while staring into your happy eyes. "Yes... the food was amazing! And I loved the atmosphere, thank you" You replied enthusiastically, tired but ecstatic.

"Hell yeah! Even Kujou Sara was surprised by how nice I was behaving... maybe she'd become nicer if she found someone... not you, though! You're all mine~" He planted a big kiss on your cheek to emphasize his point. "Hush..." you manage to say as you felt your face getting a little hotter.

Even if he wasn't the smartest cookie around, Itto was extremely observant with you, and even in the weak light of the early evening he managed to notice the light shade of red invading your face.

"Huh? Are you getting hot? Is it too humid? Are you running a fever?" Well... he was observant, but he didn't exactly have Heizou's detective skills. "Drink this! It's refreshing and you'll feel better!" He shoved a bottle of dango milk in your hands and watched you expectantly as he waited for you to drink it.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked with such worried eyes that it flustered you even more. "Y-yeah... it was nothing, really..." You managed to stutter, but what you didn't expect was Itto connecting the dots.

"Wait! You were just flustered!!!"

He yelled it so loud that you tried to cover his mouth with your hands. "Hush..! Even Lady Guuji will hear you if you keep yelling like this..!" You whisper-yelled, but the oni had a smile even wider than before and a playful glint in his eyes... and you should've noticed.

"Aweee I have the cutest partner in the world!! Come here you!!" He quickly sat up and pulled you on his lap, and before you had the time to defend yourself or protest, five fingers found your tummy and started scribbling on it. "Awe... your giggles are so cute, Sinny~" He cooed while listening to your sweet laughter.

"Nahahahahehehe pfft- Ihihitto wahahait pleahahaseee..!" You squirmed in his lap, but he was too strong for you to get away. "Nope, no waiting. Now I wanna hear you laugh!" None of you two knew why, but your blushy face brought out Itto's playful side, and now there you were, squirming in his lap while he poked your tummy all over.

"Nohohohohooo" You squealed while kicking your feet in the air as if it could help you in any way. "Yehehehes!!" Your boyfriend mocked you without relenting even for a second. "Come on... you know how much I love your laughter, and take this as a revenge for this morning!"

Thinking about it, you shouldn't have tickled him awake that morning...

Knowing it was almost time to stop, the oni decided it was time for the grand finale and lifted up one of your arms while his free hand went to town on your now exposed armpit. "KYAHAHAHAHAHA NAHAHAT TEHEHEHEHEHE NOHOHOHOOOO" You yelled while laughing your head off.

Itto listened to your little howls (and even a couple of tiny snorts) and cherished every second of that moment, but he knew it was time to stop, which he immediately did and let you recover.

"So, did you have fun? It was quite the conclusion for our date, huh?" He asked you while smirking smugly. "Well..." You hesitated a little, because you wanted to act tough but you also didn't wanna lie to him, "well... I surely laughed a lot..." you mumbled. "Oh sure you did..." the white-haired guy chuckled knowingly as you let out a yawn.

"Ohoho... someone's getting tired after all that running around, eating and tickling hahaha" He said before getting up, and before you could do the same, you felt two strong arms wrap around you, one on your back and one under your knees.

"Aaand up you go!" The oni cheered while lifting you up as if you were a tiny feather and carrying you bridal style. "Come on, let's go home."

[ID: a small bowl filled with toasted sesame seeds and diced kombu. end ID]

Vegetarian furikake / 振り掛け (Japanese seasoning)

Furikake is a Japanese dry condiment which may be added to rice, used as a filling for onigiri (rice balls), used in pickling, or used as a topping to rice dishes such as chazuke (ちゃづけ). You might also try it for a sweet, savory, or spicy kick on noodle dishes and salads (such as my Japanese-style carrot salad), in soups, or on popcorn.

Minimal recipes for furikake may include sesame seeds, chopped seaweed, bonito flakes, salt, and sugar. This recipe also includes soy sauce and shichimi (Japanese 7-spice) for added umami and spice; you could play around with ingredients and proportions to get something you like, or make it a little differently each time!

Recipe under the cut.

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients:

For the furikake:

1oz used kombu (left over from making dashi), thawed if frozen

1 sheet Japanese dried laver / nori (海苔)

2 Tbsp ground dried shiitake mushrooms

1 1/2 Tbsp white sesame seeds

1/2 Tbsp black sesame seeds

1 Tbsp Japanese soy sauce, such as Kikkoman's

1/2 tsp kosher salt

2 tsp vegetarian granulated sugar

2 tsp Japanese 7-spice (七 味 唐辛子 / shichimi togarashi); optional

Pinch MSG (optional)

You will need reconstituted, not dried, kombu for this recipe. To reconstitute dashi, follow the instructions to make cold-brew (水出し / mizudashi) or hot-brew dashi (煮出し / nidashi) in my teriyaki udon soup recipe; the dashi can then be used to make Japanese soups and dipping sauces. I like to use a couple tablespoons in a cornstarch slurry with soy sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar to coat fried tofu, to which it adds a delicate, umami, vegetal taste.

Dried shiitake mushrooms can be found in an Asian grocery store. They may be reconstituted to make shiitake dashi, then used in stir-fries and simmered dishes. They may also be ground and used to add savor and umami to any dish. Here, they are used as a substitute for the katsuobushi (bonito flakes) in okaka / おかか (bonito flakes flavored with soy sauce), a common ingredient in furikake.

Instructions:

1. Dice reconstituted / thawed kombu into small pieces and set aside. Cut nori into a fine dice by folding and cutting with kitchen scissors. Coarsely grind dried shiitake mushrooms in a spice mill or food processor.

2. In a small, dry pot over medium heat, toast white and black sesame seeds until they are fragrant and a shade darker. Remove from pot.

3. Add kombu and ground shiitake mushroom and toast, stirring frequently, for several minutes until the surface of the kombu is dry.

4. Add soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Simmer until dried, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot more frequently as the furikake dries out.

5. Stir in nori, sesame seeds, shichimi, and MSG. Taste and adjust salt, sugar, and spice.

Theoretically, dry furikake may be stored in a cool, dry place such as a pantry. If you're not confident that your furikake is completely dry, you can store it in the fridge. It should keep for several months.

HELLO SKY I HAVE A QUESTION! For context when I finally leave genshin I feed my whole team their favorite food for a good job, like I give venti an apple (or cider if he did some good crits), jean some pizza and Bennett meat. But like I have no idea what to give scara. I asked my friends and they also don't know😭 maybe you have some idea.

- 🧩anon

Well from what I know about Scara, he hates sweet stuff and is really partial to bitter stuff, but has also stated that he's not picky

So things I'd avoid off the bat would definitely be fruit and anything particularly sweet, anything cream based, and meat wise probably shrimp since that's kinda sweet

I think really the best food would probably just be his specialty dish Shimi Chazuke, or even its base Unagi Chazuke, but that could get annoying real quick if you don't have a godly pile of Unagi on hand, so if you still want to use an Unagi dish that's a bit more manageable than it would be Grilled Unagi Fillet

Now you could focus on simple Inazuma dishes like Onigiri and Miso soup, since that's where he's from he would probably be most used to them

I'm not sure of his current relationship with lavender melon, but some dishs that use that would be Konda Cuisine (strong choice cause it includes snapdragon, which I'll expand on in a minute), Rice Cake Soup, and Five Pickled Treasures (also a strong ones cause pickling usually produces a sour/bitterish taste)

Now on the snapdragon thing, I know irl snapdragon blooms are edible and described as an acquired taste cause of their tart and bitter flavor, meaning, assuming that's true there too, a pretty good option might be Jewelry Soup, Vegetarian Abalone, or Sangayaki, along with the above stated Konda Cuisine

Keeping the topic of flowers, it's more common for them to be bitter over any other flavor, and Calla Lily's are described in-game as sweet and bitter (one of the few things actually described as bitter), making Calla Lilly Seafood Soup a possible contender

Now if you wanna stray farther from Inazuma based dishs cause unpleasant memories, but want to go that route of flowers with a Sumeru dish (since he seems to generally like the area from what I've seen), Lambad Fish Roll is definitely the way to go

It's too bad they don't have any coffee based dishs cause that could be really spot on, just a cup of black coffee would be perfect for him

It'll be up to you to pick between all the ones I've listed based on your resources, and I'm pretty sure I don't have every recipe so there might be a perfect option I don't know of, but yeah general guidelines are bitter = good, sweet = absolutely not

Good luck!

#genshin impact #genshin scaramouche #i take these questions very seriously #i wish more dishs actually described the flavor in detail #I'm very serious about my recipes though #i have 107 and all of them are perfected #so ig I'm missing 7 then #🧩 anon

[mycomori]

miso chazuke healed me and now im back on my feet doing laundry, making onigiri for lunch, and planning some type of ochazuke for breakfast with mackerel after the gym/before work.

[capisback]

Kinda wanna make Ochazuke, but, like, without salmon? Because that’s expensive and since idk if Ochazuke’s even any good, I don’t really want to put that in yet? Maybe if I put in some Bonito flakes instead....

#cap talks #cooking #ochazuke #chazuke #ra ra ra what inspired me #just realised 'ra ra ra' might look weird to non-dutch speakers and might come across as me referencing lady gaga #hm #so yeah it means ''guess'' #we discovered an asian supermarket and i'm very excited to go there #I hope they've got the ingredients I need #got plans to make #kimchi #miso soup #onigiri #furikake #vegan jajangmyeon #and tteokbokki #been wanting to eat chazuke since 2016 #and tteokbokki since like 2013 #hhhh let's hope the recipes I got are good!

Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective | Toto/Ron | Domestic fluff (AO3)

.

For Totomaru, a day-off well-spent means sleeping in until nine, snuggled against a mountain of misshapen pillows and thinned-out blankets from middle school. He'd then take his sweet time cleaning his room before washing up, all while singing anisongs off-key. Then a late breakfast, a proper, home-cooked Japanese meal instead of packed bread or onigiri from the convenience store, finished off with a cup of freshly-brewed green tea from back home.

Today is one of those rare days, except for, well, Ron inviting himself into his apartment.

"I didn't make enough for two," Toto deadpans in the door's direction, flipping the fish over the grill. There is a shuffle of padded footsteps, then a soft thud on the living room floor. Ron already has his phone out, humming gently to the music from his earphones. Today's playlist seems to be trot-inspired, probably from that new pop group Amamiya's been following since last month.

He smiles, despite the initial annoyance. Ron seems to be adjusting well enough to the outside world again if he can keep up with the latest trends. He still avoids a lot of things in general, but at least it's easier for him to relax now. Respites like this do help a lot, if anything.

Toto pours the extra pot of tea over the rice; at least there's enough of that for two. Breakfast finally assembled, he slowly carries the tray over to the living room. Ron's eyes immediately light up as he emerges from the kitchen. 

"Put your phone away," he says, placing a steaming bowl of chazuke before his guest. "And spit out that gum. The food will taste weird."

"Bzzzt," Ron sticks out his tongue, currently a shocking candy-pink. "This is colored lollipop. One hundred percent sugar-free. Wanna taste?" He retracts his tongue and opens his mouth, revealing a half-melted pink candy at the center. Toto resists the urge to gag, facepalming while looking away. "That's..."

At least it's not brown sugar syrup again, like that one time he mixed half a bottle into his tea, insisting it wasn't "sweet enough". The mere sight of it made Toto stick to water for weeks and gave him occasional funny nightmares. Ron probably doesn't have insurance for a diabetes check-up, and he sure as hell doesn't make enough to pay for it.

To his credit, Ron does as he's told, placing the candy on a small plate Toto has prepared for that purpose. He then licks his lips, staining them candy-pink, as well.

The action weirdly wipes out Toto's thoughts, for some reason. "Sugar-free, huh," he repeats weakly.

"Yup," Ron grins, inching closer into his personal space. "One hundred percent. Wanna taste?"

Toto gulps, staring into Ron's eyes before nodding slowly.

He quickly closes the distance between them, fueled by the weird bravado that suddenly came upon him. Ron's lips are warm and soft, and slightly sticky from the candy he'd been sucking on. There is barely any lingering aftertaste from it at all; whichever place this candy is from has already earned Toto's full approval.

The initial rush of excitement gives way to a simmering heat, and Toto parts his lips slightly, allowing Ron to slip his tongue inside. Their bodies are now pressed together on the low sofa, their shared breath warm against the cool sweat trickling down his neck. Ron lets out a low hum as Toto runs a hand through his hair, gently massaging the scalp in circles. The scent of musk, Ron's cheap shampoo, and their forgotten breakfast sends Toto's heart pounding out of his chest, the sound of it thrumming in his ears and making him see red, then candy-pink.

This is probably how intoxication feels like: a sugar-high without the sugar rush.

It's a feeling Toto finds he quite enjoys, and fits perfectly into his idea of a good day-off.

Except, well, Ron must learn to put his phone to good use and actually call in advance, so he can actually prepare properly— a newly-made bed with fresh linen, a proper bath, and breakfast for two, to start.

A sudden jerking motion causes Ron to drop his phone onto the floor, pulling out the earphones from the audio jack. A summery tropical pop track blasts out of the speakers, singing suggestive lyrics of sweet cocktails and mutual attraction. It makes Toto burst into laughter as he pulls himself away, while Ron is slack-jawed in bewilderment.

"This is nothing, haha," Toto explains right away, both his hands still on Ron's shoulders. "Just that you're right, is all."

Ron cocks his head to a side. "About what?"

"Sugar-free." He dabs the back of his hand over his lips with a smile. "One hundred percent would want to try again. But next time." Toto then gently pulls Ron over to the low table. "Breakfast first. The chazuke's getting cold."

He sees Ron smirk from the corner of his eye, no doubt excited at the prospect of more later.  Good.

Best perfect day-off thus far, and it's only about to get better.

Budaya Negara Jepang yang Tidak Banyak Orang Ketahui

Jepang memiliki budaya yang menarik dan beragam; di satu sisi ia tenggelam dalam tradisi terdalam sejak ribuan tahun; di sisi lain itu adalah masyarakat dalam keadaan fluks yang terus-menerus, dengan mode dan mode yang terus berubah dan perkembangan teknologi yang terus-menerus mendorong kembali batas-batas yang mungkin. Ini adalah bagian dari apa yang membuatnya menjadi negara yang sangat menarik untuk dikunjungi. Jika Anda mencari sesuatu yang berbeda, Anda pasti menemukannya di sini!

Orang Jepang

Jepang dikenal karena homogenitas sosialnya, tetapi ada banyak cerita tentang orang Jepang daripada mitos populer ini.

Sekilas orang Jepang tampak sebagai salah satu kelompok yang paling homogen secara sosial dan etnis di dunia.

Adalah masuk akal untuk menyamakan perkembangan ekonomi Jepang pasca-perang yang cepat sampai tahun 1990-an dengan solidaritas dan konformisme sosial. Meskipun kekurangan tenaga kerja sejak 1960-an, pihak berwenang menolak secara resmi memberikan sanksi kepada pekerja asing sampai tahun 1980-an, dengan mengandalkan peningkatan mekanisasi dan sebagai gantinya tenaga kerja wanita yang diperluas (1).

Sampai baru-baru ini, pekerja Jepang telah mengaitkan diri mereka terutama dengan perusahaan tempat mereka bekerja - seorang pengusaha akan memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai "Nissan no Takahashi-san" (Saya adalah Takahashi dari Nissan). Dengan ekstensi, kita mungkin mendapatkan ide bahwa orang Jepang menundukkan diri pada tujuan masyarakat.

Namun pada tahun 2008, politisi Jepang Nariaki Nakayama yang sudah lama mengundurkan diri mengundurkan diri setelah menyatakan bahwa Jepang "homogen secara etnik", menunjukkan bahwa ide lama "satu orang, satu ras" telah menjadi tidak benar secara politis.

Kritik terhadap pernyataan Mr Nakayama berfokus pada pengabaiannya terhadap penduduk asli Ryukyukan di Okinawa selatan, dan orang-orang Ainu dari pulau utara Hokkaido - dijajah oleh Jepang pada akhir abad kesembilan belas.

Pada tahun 1994 politisi Ainu pertama terpilih ke Diet Jepang, menunjukkan bahwa Jepang tertarik untuk secara resmi mengenali kelompok etnis yang berbeda di Jepang.

Sensus terbaru meminta orang untuk mendefinisikan diri mereka hanya berdasarkan kebangsaan dan bukan etnis, sehingga demografi sebenarnya dari negara itu masih tidak jelas. Meskipun hanya sekitar 15.000 orang asing dinaturalisasi setiap tahun, imigrasi terus secara resmi dan tidak resmi sejak Jepang mengakhiri kebijakan isolasi di Jepang. pertengahan abad kedelapan belas.

Terlepas dari imigrasi asing, orang Jepang dan keturunan mereka telah bergerak bebas sejak perbatasan dibuka. Meskipun sensus tidak mengenal mereka, sekarang diperkirakan ada 750.000 warga Jepang dengan warisan campuran, serta 1,5 juta penduduk asing tetap dalam total populasi sekitar 126 juta.

Beberapa "harufu" (orang Jepang dari warisan campuran) telah mendapat perhatian tinggi di Jepang, menentang pernyataan nasionalis bahwa homogenitas identik dengan kecakapan Jepang. Pada tahun 2004 Yu Darvish, dari campuran warisan Jepang dan Iran, mendirikan seluruh pertandingan untuk tim baseball profesional Nippon Ham tanpa seorang pemukul mencapai base pertama. Baru-baru ini, Tsurunen Marutei kelahiran Finlandia menjadi anggota parlemen.

Karena kelompok etnis asli dan imigran utama Jepang cenderung tidak tinggal di daerah Kanto dan Kansai yang padat penduduk di Honshu tengah tempat para wisatawan biasanya pergi, seorang turis mungkin akan menyimpulkan bahwa populasi non-Jepang adalah jumlah Kaukasia kulit putih yang relatif kecil. Ada populasi mengambang guru bahasa Inggris Barat dan pekerja sektor keuangan, khususnya di Tokyo, tetapi pihak berwenang memiliki batasan yang sangat ketat untuk memperpanjang visa kerja spesialis di luar tiga tahun sehingga sangat sedikit menjadi penduduk tetap.

Kelompok etnis terbesar yang diwakili sebenarnya berasal dari Korea, Cina, Brasil, dan Filipina. Sejak tahun 1970-an telah terjadi aliran masuk yang stabil dari orang-orang Brasil keturunan Jepang, dan kelompok ini sekarang berjumlah 5-10% dari populasi di beberapa kota industri di Jepang. Dewasa ini generasi muda hanya berbicara bahasa Jepang dan bukan bahasa leluhur mereka. Selain keluarga-keluarga ini, puluhan ribu "pekerja tamu" jangka panjang telah direkrut untuk pekerjaan pabrik dan kasar di bawah perjanjian sejak 1990-an.

Kasus untuk diversifikasi etnis terbukti di seluruh masyarakat Jepang. PBB memperkirakan bahwa Jepang akan mencapai titik krisis ekonomi pada tahun 2050 di mana populasi yang tidak bekerja akan melebihi jumlah populasi yang bekerja. Inisiatif seperti Perjanjian Kemitraan Ekonomi Jepang-Filipina 1994 menyarankan bahwa Jepang mencari solusi dengan memberikan lebih banyak masa tinggal tiga hingga empat tahun bagi pekerja dan pengasuh yang terlatih, meskipun masih sangat enggan untuk memberikan izin tinggal permanen.

Politisi konservatif masih mengadvokasi peningkatan mekanisasi sebagai solusi; kemajuan pesat sedang dibuat dalam robotika, khususnya di bidang perawatan lansia, tetapi produksi akan perlu meningkat secara eksponensial jika perkiraan PBB tentang sepuluh juta kekurangan pekerja pada tahun 2050 jauh akurat.

Di luar etnis, ada perbedaan budaya antara daerah, yang sebagian besar telah ada sejak lama tetapi tidak segera jelas bagi pengunjung asing.

Misalnya, Osaka-ben, bahasa idiomatik yang digunakan di wilayah Kansai, mendukung diskusi terbuka tentang uang sedangkan orang Tokyo cenderung bersusah payah untuk menghindari diskusi tentang angka-angka mentah (2).

Tantangan untuk generasi selanjutnya

Perbedaan yang mencolok juga terlihat di antara generasi sejak gelembung ekonomi pecah pada 1990-an. Generasi muda menghadapi budaya kerja yang sangat berbeda di mana pekerjaan seumur hidup tidak lagi terjamin.

Akibatnya, identifikasi diri dengan perusahaan melemah. Perusahaan-perusahaan Jepang sekarang secara rutin melakukan outsourcing pekerjaan dan memberhentikan pekerja yang mungkin telah bersama perusahaan selama beberapa dekade, seperti yang didramatisasi melalui karakter ayah dalam film Tokyo Sonata 2008.

Walaupun film itu tentu saja merupakan karya fiksi dan tidak selalu mewakili situasi yang khas, film ini menyoroti pergeseran budaya dari idiom Jepang yang sering dikutip: "paku yang berdiri harus dipalu."

Film ini mendukung pengembangan individu di atas konformitas, ketika sang putra berkembang sebagai keajaiban piano meskipun ayahnya berusaha membuatnya menyesuaikan diri dengan sistem pendidikan dan pekerjaan yang ada. Kesenjangan generasi yang luas dan pemaksaan nilai-nilai terbukti dalam kenyataan bahwa rata-rata politisi berusia enam puluhan.

Dalam pasar kerja yang sangat kompetitif di mana belajar bahasa Inggris yang fasih dipandang sebagai salah satu kunci keberhasilan, semakin banyak orang muda Jepang belajar di luar negeri - terutama di Amerika Serikat. Ini berarti bahwa beberapa orang mengembangkan pandangan individualis Barat yang lebih stereotip di tahun-tahun pembentukannya.

Ada juga fenomena sosial furita: kaum muda yang mengambil sejumlah pekerjaan paruh waktu alih-alih peran penuh waktu tunggal, dan menyelingi ini dengan tugas di tempat-tempat seperti Bali dan Australia.

Tradisionalis sangat terganggu oleh jumlah hikikomori, populasi dewasa muda diperkirakan antara satu dan tiga juta yang tidak pernah meninggalkan rumah. Dalam sejumlah besar kasus, mereka tidak bekerja dan tidak membayar pajak. Hal ini menambah dilema negara tentang bagaimana menyediakan populasi lansia yang meningkat - terbesar di dunia maju - sementara populasi secara keseluruhan menurun dan beberapa anak muda hanya memasuki pekerjaan paruh waktu, jika sama sekali.

Persamaan lama antara usia dan berdiri dalam hierarki yang jelas tampak memegang teguh, dan hubungan antara senpai (berpengalaman) dan kohai (tidak berpengalaman) terbukti di mana-mana dari tim baseball kampus hingga hierarki kantor dan pabrik. Meskipun demikian, struktur-struktur ini berada di bawah pengawasan dalam masa ekonomi yang tidak pasti, dan mungkin percaya perubahan paradigmatik dalam nilai-nilai dan tujuan-tujuan kaum muda yang mempertanyakan apa artinya menjadi orang Jepang.

Makanan Jepang: jauh lebih banyak dari sekadar sushi!

Dalam hal makanan, orang Jepang termasuk yang paling antusias dan bersemangat dari semua ras. Tanyakan kepada setiap orang Jepang tentang perjalanan baru-baru ini di Jepang dan percakapan itu hampir selalu mencakup pembicaraan tentang makanan lokal. Faktanya, bagi banyak orang Jepang yang bepergian ke luar kota asal mereka, makanan seringkali menjadi salah satu motivator utama untuk bepergian.

Karena alasan ini, banyak kota di Jepang yang dikenal pertama dan terutama untuk spesialisasi lokal mereka, apakah itu jenis manis, ikan, mie, rumput laut atau tahu, dll. Semangat Jepang untuk makanan yang bisa Anda nyalakan TV Anda di hampir setiap saat, siang atau malam dan hampir pasti menangkap pertunjukan tentang makanan.

Persiapan yang cermat dan presentasi yang cermat adalah elemen penting dari masakan Jepang. Makanan adalah bentuk seni dan bahkan hidangan paling sederhana sering disiapkan oleh koki yang telah dilatih selama bertahun-tahun.

Nasi

Setelah diperdagangkan sebagai mata uang, beras telah menjadi makanan pokok bagi orang Jepang selama lebih dari 2.000 tahun dan masih menyertai atau membentuk basis banyak makanan.

Panen padi sangat padat karya dan orang Jepang diingatkan akan hal ini sejak usia sangat muda, itulah sebabnya beras jarang disia-siakan dan sisa beras dimanfaatkan dengan baik.

Selain sushi, hidangan populer termasuk donburi (ikan rebus, daging atau sayuran yang disajikan di atas nasi), onigiri (bungkusan kecil nasi yang dibungkus dengan rumput laut kering), kayu (bubur beras), mochi (kue beras ditumbuk) dan chazuke (nasi dimasak dengan teh hijau sering disajikan dengan salmon atau cod roe), untuk beberapa nama.

Makanan musiman & lokal

Jepang sangat bangga dengan empat musim yang sangat khas dan setiap musim menandai awal dari penawaran yang lebih lezat. Ini sangat jelas di supermarket, hotel dan losmen dan restoran di mana menu sering diubah untuk mencerminkan apa yang tersedia dan apa yang sedang musim.

Kenyataannya, ada begitu banyak jenis makanan yang ditawarkan sehingga tidak berlebihan untuk mengatakan bahwa banyak orang Jepang akan berjuang untuk menyebutkan (misalnya) semua varietas rumput laut, jamur, dan ikan yang tak terhitung jumlahnya di rak-rak toko lokal mereka.

Masakan Kaiseki (kaiseki ryori) adalah hidangan kecil yang berisi hingga 12 program hidangan yang dikukus, direbus atau dibakar, sashimi ikan mentah irisan, tempura, sup, nasi, acar dan makanan penutup kecil. Hidangan biasanya mencerminkan apa yang tersedia dan sesuai musim. Kyoto adalah tempat yang tepat untuk menikmati suguhan yang luar biasa ini untuk semua indera.       Berkat berbagai macam spesialisasi daerah (dikenal sebagai meibutsu dalam bahasa Jepang), tidak ada kekurangan restoran yang didedikasikan untuk menyajikan hidangan lokal dengan bangga.

Salah satu hidangan daerah yang paling terkenal adalah okonomiyaki (sejenis pancake gurih) yang terkenal di Hiroshima dan Osaka. Perjalanan ke Hiroshima tidak lengkap tanpa mengunjungi Okonomimura (desa okonomiyaki) di mana menyaksikan koki menyiapkan makanan sama menyenangkannya dengan mencicipi kelezatan regional yang unik ini.

On the other hand, some people prefer to bake the surface of them slightly and eat. Personally speaking, I like to eat them raw because I can feel taste, flavor, and texture better in that way. However, it’s said that pregnant women need to avoid raw cod roe due to food poisoning just in case. So pregnant women should cook them completely before eating.
