You remember the shop? Spent a lot of time in Yokohama. My favorite was at the Ramen Museum they got there.

I never got the name, I had a friend give me directions. I’ll see if I can find it again on Google Maps. I also had a really nice meal on the top of Landmark Tower in Yokohama.
Red Door Ramen and Coco Curry in Yokohama were also good, but my favorite was a Nepali curry place called Ghorka Palace. There was also a great taiyaki place in Kamakura.
Guess you found it as a soldier stationed in Okinawa right? If I remember correctly you were stationed there right?

Nope. Visited Okinawa a few times. Never stationed there.
Sorry, must be mixing you up with someone then. Either way, it must have been nice to visit. Anyways got any suggestions for Japanese dishes to eat?

The usual: ramen, curry, takoyaki, okonomiyaki.
Oh, and in their McDonalds, they still make the fried apple pies instead of the baked ones they make in the states.
Sounds pretty delicious to me. We have the same sort of baked pie here.

Any odd culinary experiences that brought you outside your comfort zone? I can remember the first time I had proper offal recently, in the form of deep fried turkey livers. They were actually pretty darn tasty. Had them paired with a cranberry/horseradish sauce at the local pancake house.
Fun times.

Just found something delicious. If you put KFC hot sauce on a zinger sandwich it makes it an extra hot and extra tasty sandwich. The spicy mayo and hot sauce blend well together.

I had fish eyes. In a bowl. Served to me directly as the 'birthday boy'.

I eat Vegemite on crumpets sometimes.
Put a slice of cheese on top after you've added the vegemite and melt it in (maybe under a grill, blow torch or in oven, something that won't make it overly soggy) = heaven.

Hrrmmmmm
Vegemite on those things that are vaguely similar to what we call an "English Muffin". Sounds unappealing, but to each their own.
Blow torch. Gotta love you Aussies.
Crumpets and English muffins far as I know are two different animals. Crumpets have a spongey texture and lots of little holes through them so that if you put something like honey on them it leaks through the holes and goes all over the plate beneath.
English muffins are the McMuffins you get from McDonalds.
Peanut butter is great on a hot crumpet too because it melts kind of through the holes and you get this glorious warm gooey peanutty infused piece of heaven in your mouth when you crunch into it.

Raw egg on rice. Not too bad. Odd to eat something youve been told will literally kill you since you were like 5.

Quite so. It's kind of like how I would never imagine putting Marmite on a crumpet, but every kind of jam goes lovely with one; on the other hand, an english muffin and Marmite go lovely together.
Thats why you add the cheese to the vegemite (or inferior marmite alternative 
) crumpet as it melts into the holes and you get that gooey cheese and vegemite goodness.

I'm going to have to try that now. (though I must also protest that it's miraculous enough as an American that I like and even know what Marmite is, let alone Vegemite.) What kind of cheese?
@Punch Card Girl Had those potato pancakes a while back and want to make them again, they were good. Had them with freshly cracked salt and pepper and then put the good canned maple syrup on them.
