Horumonyaki ホルモン焼き

No, it is not a Pokemon character! Today I found a new side to Japanese cuisine I did not know existed. This thanks to one of my favorite shows 'Bizarre Foods' with Andrew Zimmern from Travel Channel.

Horumon was created by Korean immigrants to Japan who created tasty meals out of cuts of meat such as trachea, heart, and stomach that would otherwise be discarded. Apparently, they are super oishi (delicious). おいしい!

I am going to add Andrew's recommendation for the Horumon restaurant featured in this video or find a hidden gem in San Francisco that would serve Horumon. Watching this entices make to want to go back badly!

Happy Sunday! 日曜日ハッピー!

Hey all! Today was my Monday, but for those who have Monday to Friday schedules, I know you are either excited or dreading the workweek. To bring a smile to your face, I hope these hilarious Japanese comedy and prank videos brighten things up. Japanese people are stereotyped to have a serious demeanor, but many are actually quirky and very, VERY funny. When it comes to humor, Japanese are about embarrassment and humiliation. Jokes and pranks are based on the unexpected.

My favorite is the 3D prank:
