Snake soup in okinawa. 6/10 It wasnt an mind blowing dish, and the snake has many bones inside. But still i would try again.
Also in Okinawa, was tender but the sauce missing a out a little 8/10
3-4 Was in Tokio. I dont remember the left and the right part in pic3. The middle was liver and in pic 4 it was tripe (stomach). It was served like this and we could prepare it ourselfs on the table with an small charcoal grill. 8/10 Definetly i prefer these over the wagyu when grilling, wagyu gets to fatty on the grill and you lose a lot of the taste. Wagyu is better be eaten rare.
Was in tokyo on the fish market. Also dont remember the name exactly (I never asked i just pointed at it😂). It was pretty gamey and i needed to chew a lot. Worth an try but not worth an secon time 5/10
So this was in Kyoto. It was an specialised Fugu restaunt. They made a lot of variants of it and they were ok. But this variant stood out. In this "Fish and Chips" variant of Fugu the Fugu itself was perfect, the tendernes, the slightl sliminess and texture was just perfect for the fugu. 11/10 Would eat again. Everyday
7-8 Were the mussles they used to prepare pic9
9- Okinawa Fish market. The penis mussle or whatever they call it. It actually was pretty good, tender and everything 9/10 The snail I think on the right was alright but a little bit gamey and nothing special 6/10
I hope you liked my collection of the things i ate in my Japan Trip 2024

Very interesting and thank you for sharing👌
The penis mussle! That’s called a gooie duck in the PNW, but I bet they upsell it as a virilty aid. Lmao! 💚
I identified some unclear ingredients.
3:(Left) ギアラ(Giara) – Abomasum (4th tripe)
3:(Right) サンドミノ(Sando-mino) – Rumen (1st tripe)
4:ハチノス(Hachinosu) – Reticulum (2nd tripe)
5:サザエ(Sazae) – Turbo sazae
You are of the belief that wagyu is better rare? I think that, with the amount of fat, it at least needs a charred exterior to really render, which grilling can obviously accomplish.
i ate pork intestines in Hiroshima and still regret it, it smelled decent at first but the first taste was horrible.
that was probably the only time on my trip that i actually ate something i didnt like
Lot’s of rustic looking food! What I loved about your travel portfolio here is that it helped to point out that Japanese food isn’t just pretty meals found in restaurants, but the foods that everyday folk like to prep and eat. Lots of seafood in your array of pictures, yay! Japan is an island nation and a lot of folks eat regular every day chow, take advantage of those more unusual cuts and, dare I say, strange types of of seafood, nothing fancy, just filling and tasty, least ways, that was my experience. Thanks again for some love imagery! Kampai! Cat
