My favorite japanese food… hmm… すき焼き !
Sunday at 4:55 pm
My favorite Japanese food is うなぎのにぎり寿司!!
mmm… so good, I just got hungry
Monday at 10:19 am
プチクレアさん>すき焼き・・・おいしいですよね!友達や家族といっしょに食べるともっとおいしいですね! It tastes even better eating it with friends and families!
Gabriele san> Yummy yummy
Your comment made me decide my lunch

You like うなぎのにぎり? Unagi no nigiri?(eel sushi)?Try あなご Anago-sushi. (conger eel or sea eel). I love うな重 and うな丼(Una(gi)-don) but for sushi, 穴子 anago is much better!
Monday at 12:31 pm
お寿司/刺身、絶対。 And my least favourite is 絶対ナット。
I tried it only once, and it was terrible! But I eat sushi/sashimi until my insides burn from all the わさび that comes with it. Love it!
Monday at 1:39 pm
Hirokoさん,
I’m glad I made your lunch!! Next time I go out for Japanese food,
I will eat some うなぎのにぎりin your honor!!
Naomi先生,
I never tried うな重 or うな丼,
thanks for the suggestions!!!
but I just looked them up on Wikipedia and the pictures made me
hungry at the first glance
Next time I go to my favorite Japanese restaurant I will definitely
ask the Chef if they have them on the menu!! It’s really hard to find
“authentic” Japanese food here, but this one place is amazing.
The Chef is from Okinawa, I’m counting on him!! I will also order both
うなぎ and あなご, I’ll compare them and I’ll let you know which
one I like better!! Wow, it’s gonna be a lot of eel in just one dinner,
but it’s so worth it!!
YAY for all the eel lovers worldwide!!

Wowowo!!!
I had no idea you guys had a series on unagi!!!
I started listening to Beginner Lessons for the Time Capsule
series, so I missed it by like 10 lessons!
Well, thanks a lot for letting me know, I will listen to it right away
Friday at 10:59 am
well… it’s about 2 unagi who take a road trip…. so… not so much information about actual unagi. LOL.

Hi, I’m new here, and I’ve listened to many lessons trying to catch up as fast as possible

) lol
Anyway until now great job you have done!
My little complain on that lesson is that nothing is said about 定食サイズ, though 大盛り is mentioned onto the vocab.
I think it should be the second most important topic when you go to a 定食屋 since it is the second question that will be asked after saying the food you want.
Well I remember having a hard time the first time I went to a 定食屋 and not understanding what the waiter was aking me (haven’t you just taken my command? please I just want you to bring my food!
If it is cover in another lesson then forget about what I said :p
ja ne!
Friday at 11:40 am
Tako-san
Is that S,M andL or 大中小 or something else?
Since I’m not an expert for 定食屋, I’m not sure what 定食サイズ is.
Friday at 1:48 pm
lol
Sorry for not expressing myself clearly
But you got it right, that’s what I was talking about.
S,M,L or 大中小 sometimes it is also written like this 大並小if i’m not mistaken…
anyway thanks for your reply! I wasn’t expecting one in fact
ja ne!
Friday at 5:21 pm
Tako-san
I see. I think I’ve seen the 大並小 letters at MATSUYA-beef bowl shop. You’ve just given us the idea for a culture lesson. Thank you so much!
Friday at 8:53 pm

you’re very welcome!
