Julia, wow "EPIC" Charsiu in Tokyo? Gotta' get me some o' that! I know what you're talking about though! As for Japanese style Chashu, Goma Tei Ramen Restaurant here in Honolulu is the most "epic" I've had yet on this island. Oishii stuff!

Nate, you make your own Korean potatoes too? Man, being "stuck" in Okinawa for so long, you really learned how to cook!

Dale, indeed this was a "KanakAttack" entry. I got sleepy just looking back at it replying here. lol

I should not have read this post while hungry! That Chinese style fried rice with Charsiu…boy oh boy. Maji oishisou! (Looks super delicious) I used to live in Tokyo, and they have some pretty epic charsiu… it’s too bad that most Americans haven’t caught onto this amazingly delectable way to eat pork!

Dana, now you have me intrigued about horseradish with Corned Beef. Brilliant! I will definitely try that coming this March on St. Patrick's Day!

Mitcho, "hate" is such an inappropriate word when the food's so GOOD! lol But I understand where you're coming from.

Amy, here's what looks like a good recipe for Korean Potatoes. I'm not sure about the one with the mayonnaise though. Perhaps the shoyu automatically flavors the mayo', so you simply add it afterwards to the recipe above, along with a bunch of chopped veggies.

@jodi, corned beef and cabbage for sure! throw in some potatoes and carrots and you have new england boiled dinner! but in a sandwich, that’s genius! add some horseradish in there. drooling.

Pomai, the pictures above are the reason I hate your blog….I cannot get my hands on those thing here in Washington. I mean I can always cook my own, but it never tastes as good when someone else does all the work.

Alan, I like that phrase "Cornucopia of Goodness". That would make a great name for a food blog!

Jenny, yeah, we can't call them "Jippy's" anymore. lol

Jodi, of course corned beef with cabbage. That's the classic St. Patrick's Day dish! As noted, with it should have also had yellow mustard on it. At least I gotta' have it that way.

You’re killing me with these photos! I can’t get over the amount of corned beef they used in the Zippy’s sandwich. And the okazuya plate looks amazing. Wow.
