Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    Haha, shiokara is one of my go to counter examples also for when people claim Japanese food is bland. I tend to eat just about everything and actually like that stuff, along with things like shirako, horumon, and kusaya (and natto).

    Still, I’m glad the inaka has a lot more foreign options these days. When I first moved to Japan even stuff like Indian curry was rare. It’s a good thing Japanese food is really tasty, because having that be the only thing to eat on top of it being terrible would’ve been a really difficult time.

      Is that what it is??? I don’t think I’ve ever had it since these might not be very common where I live. I actually like shirako, horumon, and natto but I’ve never even heard of kusaya. It must be a mainland thing that we don’t really have here. Gotta try it some day!
