Japanese Korean Tofu Sliders, #SundaySupper
Truth be told Japan and Korea have not always been the best of friends. But postwar generations have paved a way to forgiveness. Fascinations with the foods and songs of each other’s cultures have flourished with time. (Many Japanese also confess to addictions to Korean TV dramas.) As Shakespeare says, “What wound did ever heal but by degrees.”
Travel, besides time, also adds perspective and appreciation. So do imports. Living in the U.S. and traveling back to my home country of Japan, I’ve noticed more availability of American goods in Japan and vice-a-versa.
Here’s my gratitude list of imports into the USA:
From Japan:
- Pokémon
- Sailor Moon
- Toyota and Honda Cars
- Ramen
- Sushi
- Edamame
- Miso
- Tofu
