* carrageenan (seaweed)
* riboflavin (vitamin B)
* monosodium glutamate (MSG, very common amino acid found in many animal proteins)

Speaking of drained brains and France, here’s a gentle reminder from our @CultureDesk of why America doesn’t actually have a Champagne business.

Even as costs rise, many ramen shops in Japan are afraid to transcend the so-called “1,000 yen wall” (around USD $6.70) or fear of driving away customers. So some have found a workaround: keep serving noodles …and only noodles.
Japan’s relationship with coffee is relatively shallow, dating back in earnest only about 150 years. But that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of the country’s most popular beverages. Here’s the history behind how it happened and how coffee in Japan has evolved.

Japan's government has begun auctioning off 150,000 metric tons of its emergency rice stockpile to distributors nationwide in an unprecedented move to lower the price of rice. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/10/japan/government-rice-stockpile-bidding/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #rice #maff #food #inflation
Rather than heaped on a plate, Morioka's wanko soba is served in bite-sized portions in small bowls. Restaurants will serve a number of these bowls at a time. When you’ve finished your first set, you can ask for more by saying "hai, jan-jan!" "hai, don-don!"
Yesterday Daikon found this place called Mofu Mofu Doughnuts, so this morning we drove out to get some brunch. Turns out it's a malasada shop (well... Japanese malasada)
They were very good... but not doughnuts (Tho closer to cream-filled yeast doughnuts than malasadas, haha)
Want some ramen and broth - and nothing else? As prices of nearly everything in Japan spike and ramen shops remain afraid of scaling the "1,000 yen wall," some stores are offering nothin' but noodles for customers who are tightening their belts.
Sometimes I think about how the world would taste so different without Maggi. Who would’ve thought they would have figured out the different flavor profiles for each part of the world. I don’t think about Swiss food very much, but their impact in world food cannot be underestimated (mostly through Maggi).
One of my comfort foods is maggi brand instant ‘curry noodles’ (the one made for the Malaysian market). My friends from India love the Indian one, but I don’t, it’s not my comfort food (also Malaysian Maggi is spicier, hehe).
Maggi sauce also has a distinct flavor. The bánh mì around me would all taste different without it, and so would a lot of Latin American and African foods.
I can get nearly everything I want from ‘home’ here in SF but Malaysian maggi is what I get people to bring me. Especially the too spicy for most other flavors, like the one called kari api (curry fire) noodles.
This Malaysian chef in London has a video about how to recreate it from scratch: https://youtu.be/V_0UknLho5U
Many ramen places in Japan are struggling to stay afloat. However, one unexpected chain is apparently making a killing with its latest ramen offering – and it’s breaking the so-called “1,000 yen wall” at the same time. Welcome to...Denny's?
What's the deal with those helmets those chicks are wearing?
And the #food looks awesome
The Tantei (Detective) Cafe in Ikebukuro is a bar/cafe with a whodunnit feel. During their bar time, they also offer a host of detective-related activities, such as a wiretapping kit, a fingerprinting kit, and a memorial photograph in the bar’s body outline.
Today is the Fujisawa-juku festival, which means a bunch of places around town are doing festival... stuff, haha. Our local shrine has a food festival going on, so we're eating mixed pork bowls and horumon (offal) in the park
