Japan Fix: Request for submissions (plus a bit of perspective)
Japan Fix Comments Off on Japan Fix: Request for submissions (plus a bit of perspective)
This post brought to you by Gail Cetnar Meadows (Hiroshima-shi, 2007-10), co-founder of Hiroshima JET webzine the Wide Island View. In an effort to revive the “Japan Fix“ posts, I’d like to share a recent discovery to help you find a little piece of Japan close to home.
How do you get your Japan fix wherever you live? Write it down and send it to me at gail [at] jetwit.com for the entertainment and benefit of the JET alum community.
Having called Hiroshima home for three years, my husband and I knew we’d miss our old neighborhood haunts when we returned to the U.S., especially our favorite okonomiyaki joint. There, our weekly visits made us such familiar faces that the cooks greeted us by name when we walked in and we even had our own stools at the bar a la Norm from Cheers. I didn’t hold out any hope of finding an okonomiyaki-ya back in the sticks of Ohio, but now that we’ve relocated, the search is on.
Whether or not I find it, though, I at least know that there are a number of stores in our area that carry a decent selection of Japanese goods, which means I can always cook our favorite Japanese dishes at home. While searching for the local Japanese markets around our new town, I stumbled upon a blog post on my favorite Japanese cooking blog, JustHungry.com. The author of this blog had compiled a wonderful reader-contributed list of Japanese groceries and stores across the U.S. The list is categorized by state, so you can just scroll through to find something close to you. Thanks to her I’ve discovered a selection of Japanese food items in a grocery store just a short hop from my house, where I found my latest Japan fix: a shelf bearing at least half a dozen flavors of ラムネ. Ah, natsukashii!!
How do you get your Japan fix where you live? Send it to me at gail [at] jetwit.com and I’ll post it on JetWit!
