Your Favorite Japanese Dishes.

[Keith Justice]

I love me some pan noodles and sushi... but while I was at Anime Central we stopped in this big uber Japan Mall place that was loaded to the motherlovin' gills with all the Japanese foods I see on their television shows, but never at any of the Japanese restraunts here in Wisconsin.

I got myself these.... fried squid ball things that I remember the Hajime look-a-like making in Kamen Rider Blade an they were delicious!

Megaranger.... first thing we do when we hit The Reactor is get us a mad Japanese meal at that mall, yo... I ain't kiddin'. I can't believe nobody brought up this idea while we were there.

Anyway... what's YOUR favorite Japanese dish and where do YOU get it from?

Sushi/Sashimi - Nearby Sushi Bar
Udon to tamago (Udon noodles with egg) - My mommy makes it
Onigiri filled with fish roe (not really a dish but more of a snack) - Japanese store near my place
Shabu-Shabu (Japanese style meat fondue) - Teppanyaki Bar in town
Yakitori (grilled chicken pieces on skewers)
Tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlets)

Closest I get to Japanese food is Ramen noodles and Sake-bombs.

Not dishes, more like snacks, but...Taiyaki, takoyaki, and Melonpan.

I believe you are referring to "Mitsuwa Market Place", which is located in Arlington Heights, IL...I love going there. I used to live off of the teriyaki chicken and fried rice and the fried chicken meals, but I've been eating a bunch of other stuff. And the squid balls are delicious. Count me in for that when we go to the Reactor! Saturday night, though, I gotta take you guys to a pizza joint called "Lou Malnati's". They specialize in deep dish pizza, which is the best kind of pizza in Chicago. All I know is that after Reactor, I'm gonna be strapped for cash for a while after I try to buy tickets to a very popular wrestling event...

I'm mostly addicted to Chinese food, so I'm not really sure if I've even had any traditional Japanese dishes. Although, I must say that I LOVE me some Pocky!
