[ FILTERED FROM ♦ JAPAN ]

Excuse me. This might be a slightly weird question, but I checked and I couldn't find any cookbooks- does anyone know how to prepare Japanese food?

Come to think of it, does anyone know the sort of things Mr. Japan enjoys? I'd like to surprise him, to make up for his hospitality for me since I've arrived here.

I can show you how to cook Japanese food.

[itdidntgrow]

Oh, can you?

[pinkplumblossom]

I've been part of the Japanese Empire for almost 50 years, so I've learned a lot about Japan during that time.

...I take it you're the new wife he was talking about before? Hungary, right?

[itdidntgrow]

That's right, according to this town. I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you?

...Oh. You mean food. I could probably remember a few Japanese recipes, though it's best to go ask his family...

[itdidntgrow]

I really meant in general... he likes... kalamari?

[windmill]

...In a way, ja, he really likes kalamari.

Dwelling on the bad isn't a good idea. It... just brings back painful feelings.

Exactly! You won't get anywhere with it.

Did something bring back some bad memories?

It's more that there are circumstances beyond my control.

The art of Japanese cuisine and etiquette is one that people dedicate their entire lives to, often only to face great failure. If you want to honor him by appropriately preparing a meal, it will require much effort and skill.

[itdidntgrow]

I can't promise I'll be perfect at it, but I'd like to at least try.

[eminent_lady]

In that case, I would be more than willing to offer some advice. I am a member of a very dignified wealthy Japanese family, so I've been trained in the ways of Japanese cuisine and etiquette since I was a child.

I would hope my humble services would be of assistance.

[itdidntgrow]

If you really wouldn't mind, I'd be very grateful for any help you may be able to give.

Germany told me Japan eats my kind of food!

[itdidntgrow]

"Your kind?"

[when_in_me]

Yeah, seafood! Raw fish, that kinda thing. I was really surprised! I didn't think anyone ate my food anymore!

[itdidntgrow]

I'm surprised, too. [ NOT REALLY A HUGE SEAFOOD EATER, BEING LANDLOCKED. ]
