IIIII 2 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I seem to get asked this every winter in Japan.... what's your fave winter food, etc? I always come up with nabe and the like. I can't think of many "winter foods". Anyone got any more imaginative answers to help me out? Link to post Share on other sites

oblivion 5 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Those strawberry/cream mochi things, can't remember the name but they are really good. And they only seem to do them in winter. Link to post Share on other sites

oblivion 5 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Thats the one, thanks! It may not be traditional, but 7-11 do a really good one. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I was in a 7-11 last weekend in Nagano, and they had the udon next to the counter. I took a look and counted 3 hairs, a small piece of tissue and what looked like flakes of skin floating about in a dishwater-type foggy stew. mmmmm, Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites
