Sushi… is awesome!

by Navdish Chopra

Sushi is another item in my top foods list of course I mean… who doesn’t like sushi to be honest! First found in Japan and now you can find it basically at any corner of the civilised World. I have tried so many different flavours of sushi but my favourite one is cooked spicy tuna with seasoned cucumber. I just never get bored of the taste this particular one has. To make my sushi a bit tangy, I like to add kimchi to it and as well as apply a bit of wasabi on the top to enjoy my first bite. Otherwise, I would just have my sushi with mild sweet soy sauce just for a quick snack.

Cow got your tongue?

by Aiken Parker

Gyūtan, or "cow tongue" (That's right, "cow tongue") is the first dish I'm covering that I've actually had the pleasure of trying. Understandably those of whom I was eating it with found it quite off-putting; I rather, enjoyed the chewy texture and strong beefy taste.

This delicacy originated in Japan and more specifically within the city of Sendai. I had it served on a skewer but having it atop a bowl of rice is also common. In 2003, gyūtan restaurants faced a devastating crisis as beef imports from the U.S (90% reliant) were temporarily banned as a result of a mad cow disease outbreak.
