The word "oishii" (delicious) is written using the kanji for beautiful (美) and taste (味) 😍https://jisho.org/search/%E7%BE%8E%E5%91%B3%E3%81%97%E3%81%84#japanese

@codewiz What will you do with that miso?My only idea would be to eat it with cucumber.

@globalc I have no cucumbers at home, so I'm eating it with a spun 😅

@codewiz You can make soups from this, or a base for a savory dip.

@codewiz Good luck, it's very salty :)Making miso soup is the other idea.

@codewiz Soup. Definitely! I always have a tub of miso in the fridge. It's almost instant soup, maybe a little healthier? 🤞

@gowin I love natto too, but it has a much shorter shelf life than miso, and Japanese grocery stores aren't exactly near my house.

@codewiz You can freeze nattō. Then thaw (consumable portion) , 4-6 hours (or, a day) before use. Ideally, you freeze them in usable portions, to keep each in unused portions in frozen states.In the freezer, it can keep for several months, and the probiotic bacteria will hibernate. Reportedly. 🙃

@codewiz I have a near-enough source for nattō, but I'm not always in the mood of going there every time I want some. Keeping some in the freezer works best for the lazy me.

@globalc I went to the local supermarket, but all they had were these "English long cucumbers", and they're huge. I bought only one 😅https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/what-is-an-english-cucumber/

@codewiz I think these will be fine. We had a Japanese in Munich who produced and sold Miso, and I introduced it to my family together with the long/thick cucumbers, not the thin ones available here in Japan.

@codewiz @globalc Huh and I never knew you had different cucumbers. Now I'm intrigued what your parsnips are.

@penguin42 Never heard of that before. Seems to exist in Japan, but not common. Daikon looks a bit similar, but apparently it's different.@codewiz

@globalc @codewiz An (English) Parsnip is very like a white carrot but tastes completely different (and tends to have a thicker/woodier centre)

@codewiz I was at a German/Japanese regulars table yesterday hinted at this, quite some infos for vegans living in Japan. Must be harder than in USA or Germany, considering the low number of vegans.https://isitveganjapan.com/

@gowin Indeed, first time I see them! Even in Japan, they had the same Quadratini flavors I've always seen in Italy and elsewhere...
