I am horrified to have to say that I neglected to list the most important food group and that which is going to get me through this bloody Japanese test: pickles. Infinite varieties of pickles, but the best being any kind of diakon or cucumber although some pickled garlic is quite tasty. Naturally anything pickled in sake is heaven as well.

Today was fresh pickles, a gift from one of my students. Nothing like a heaping bowl of rice and pickles to make me want to stay in Japan and learn Japanese. If only I had been eating them everyday. Okay, henceforth. Onward!
