Greetings! Do not know why it is but in these weeks, I've had more contact with Japanese culture I've had in the past two years.
Perhaps that is the case of earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear power plant: three disasters that have ravaged the country of the Rising Sun a few weeks ago.
Maybe it's the new objects of TF2. You know, the weapons and hats Japan theme that have been added, plus unique items you can buy to help tsunami victims.
Or maybe it's because some friends have started to study Japanese, a language as attractive as complicated tempts me and asked me to become my fifth language ... And I would, if I had the patience.
By the way, who would imagine that Steve would know so many languages? Steve, for those who do not know who I mean, is a professor of the UJI that history teaches English language and culture. A nice guy, hoygan . The story is that in a class, these friends of which I have spoken wrote something Nippon characters on the chalkboard before class, presumably their names, and revealed that Steve had been a professor of Japanese.
To make matters worse, the next week Rafa wrote 本 日, for reasons that I do not to remember. Steve also noticed and corrected the word. Unfortunately for Rafa, it was fun to see how a Nazi can be a complete grammatical hoygan in other languages.
The other story that deserves to today's post is the mini-adventure that I experienced on Monday. My colleague and friend Hyruleoflink blogueril (welcome to the Internet: Let the real names in the entry, thanks) began looking for a Japanese restaurant in Castellón. We managed to find one: Sakura (Street Artana, 4). The food we liked so much we decided to keep looking, this time a buffet, in order to try everything we could offer Japanese cuisine.
And so Hyruleoflink, sister and myself we are moving to Valencia in search of great food buffet us that day. We found a few, we compare carefully, and finally decided by the Ao-Yama , number 3, Calle Joaquín Costa.
Ao Yama is the kind of buffet where you do not get up to choose the food they want, but you have the letter and bring to the table what you ask. We chose this method to know what was what we were eating at all times. The service was great (they had patience with us) but we realized that one of the two waitresses attended us was Chinese and one Japanese. I guess matters little, since that determines the authenticity of the dishes is the cook, and I bet that was Japanese, "thoroughbred."
We were eating for almost two hours (and I say they had patience with us) enjoy time spent practically the entire contents of the letter. I can not recommend anything in particular, because everything was exquisite. Well, maybe not so much beef with honey (did not taste anything), but other dishes were delicious.
bet the pictures below you will open your appetite. I regret not having pictures of all the dishes we ate: the food was so apeecible that made us salivate and sometimes completely forget that we had the camera on the side.

chicken skewers (yakitori)
Orange Chicken
tenderloin with teriyaki sauce
Beef with honey
Shakemaki (salmon maki) and tekamaki (tuna maki)
sure the next time we go to another restaurant to compare. There are lots of Japanese in Valencia ... I wish I had one here.
Finally, pass a happy week of Magdalena and cleanse these babas. Sayonara!
