| Japanese
supermarket food |
| Too much fuss is
made about the differences between Japan and the West. The
reality is, being a housewife in Japan is absolutely no different from
being a housewife in America, New Zealand or Germany.
For instance, when
doing shopping at the local supermarket, you've got to ask exactly the
same questions: should I buy dried squid... |
 |
 |
...which cut of
octopus will my husband and children want tonight... |
| ...and which variety
of mushroom will go best with the octopus? |
 |
 |
For dessert, should
we have orange, brown or red fish eggs? |
| Should I buy periwinkles,
whelks, mussels or large lumpy red things for the neighborhood bridge club
meeting on Tuesday night? |
 |
 |
What will the other
mothers think if I send the children to school with lunches made from delicious
dark green seaweed, instead of healthy black or light green seaweed? |
