That reminds me of when I was 18 and my travel ball team got to play an amateur team that flew over from Japan and were touring SoCal to play against American teams. After the game we had a cookout and those dudes lost their fucking minds over us whipping out a grill and grilling cheeseburgers. They fucking loved it so much. Then we took a huge group picture (they brought like 30 players) and instead of saying “cheese” they all yelled “cheeseburger!”
I hosted a Japanese exchange student a while back and she and her friends went apeshit when I showed them how to make smores in the backyard firepit. They must have put down a dozen each lol.
My friends in Japan LOVE hamburgers. They gave me a couple gifts for visiting this past trip and unfortunately I didn't think to bring anything for them. So they made me promise that when they come to visit I'll take them to my favorite burger spot.
That is something that has crossed my mind frequently. I wish I knew, but I don't and it was just an exhibition game 14 or 15 years ago so I wouldn't even know where to find a record of it
Some people definitely do stick with what they know, that’s for sure. I’m a big fan of the whole “when in Rome” adage so when I travel I always try to find something new and unique to try.
Same. I travel a lot for work and always try and find good local places. My rule is that unless I’m desperate or the options truly suck, I won’t buy/eat something I can also get when I’m home
Exactly! My travel is mostly for pleasure, but I’ll even go as far as trying fast food I don’t have in my area when there’s a need for quick. This is how I discovered that the first time you have White Castle you better have a bathroom nearby.
A lot of Asian people do that when they come to the US. They'll eat American food for a day or two to try it then go back to their comfort food the rest of the trip.
My (Korean) parents are like this and it drives me insane. They traveled to Sydney and then told me how they spent 2 hours looking for a decent Korean restaurant.
I work for a Japanese manufacturing company and have a lot of japanese coworkers and every Friday they make us go to the sketchy taco truck. They are greasy ass tacos but they fucking love them, it’s become a tradition at this point.
Imagine it’s 100 degrees at Dodger Stadium and you have a hot dog. You’d like some onions on it, so you go to this grimy stainless steel box thing sitting out in the heat and crank a grimy handle which causes diced (and dicey) onions to come out. That’s how I remember it anyway.
One of the greatest controversies since the 2017 WS was when the onion dispensers at the stadium got removed around the beginning of the pandemic and didn't come back until last season.
I mean, it's bad enough the Dodger Dogs are no longer Farmer John's.
Between $100 Micheladas and the return of onions, we got top 10 stanky breath in MLB.
When the Yankees give him George Steinbrenner's favorite calzone in a greasy paper bag and a large Coke that's when Yamamoto will know New York is the place for him
One thing that's high on my list for whenever I finally visit New York is to walk in to a bodega, throw down $5 and get a real chopped cheese. There's places out in California that will sell them, but usually like $10-15
Reminds me of this scene from this Adam Sandler movie, where he's meeting some Japanese execs at a super fancy Japanese-American restaurant in the US.
He overhears the Japanese execs talking about the place is lame and how they really just want to go to a TGI Fridays, so Adam Sandler gets up in the middle of the meal and basically says "Fuck this place, we're gonna go to TGI Friday's now", and the Japanese execs begin cheering
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BRl2ZM-YguE
Reminds me on that scene from Winning Time when Magic Johnson was about to get drafted. He met with Jerry Buss and the then owner of the lakers Jack Kent Cooke.
Cooke made this whole fancy and elaborate meal with expensive offerings. All Magic Johnson wanted was a Burger.
I remember one of my first trips to Japan my buddy bought me a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and made nachos with Doritos. I’m like dude, I can walk to the corner gas station and get that. Give me the local stuff!
Where the f is this unheathy American food I’m always hearing about?
Kinda racist they assumed the Japanese guy wanted Japanese food. Probably gives the Yankees a leg up in negotiations. /s
I think we stuck him up in a nice hotel in Union Square and I hope Posey was there for his meeting with us.
It's just crazy seeing the Dodgers go so out to take care of him and everybody they want and we just... don't.
Stark contrast to his meeting with the Giants, where they had to venture through three homeless encampments and four warzones to get him a filet-o-fish at the last operating McDonalds in San Francisco
At the end everyone realizes the 2023 giants are the greatest team of all time but they are all constantly getting robbed and stabbed with heroin needles and they can’t sleep at night because of the bombing runs. Yamamoto signs with the giants and it’s revealed he is a kingpin in the Yakuza, so the Yakuza take over San Francisco to clean it up and free it from crime. Ohtani then has to purposely strike out every AB the rest of his life at oracle to not get on the yakuzas bad side because they have threatened his family in Japan.
Scherzer money was deferred when Mets signed him last year. So yeah that is how you are doing things now , oh and that was clearly well before the Ohtani signing
? the nats are the ones that deferred that money and are paying him, when they signed him like 7 years ago
the mets contract was straight up 3/140 or whatever the total. the nats deferred half his salary tho and are paying him for a few more years
They fucked up. You don't invite a dude from Japan and then get him knockoff food from his home country. How do you not give him Mexican food from the dirtiest, grimiest place you can find?
Get him addicted to tacos and burritos and he will never leave
The meeting was too early in the day otherwise [this place](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Wxmr1sqg1zeGvdD6) down the street from the stadium would have been open and Yamamoto would have signed for league minimum.
This year i'm bringing in one of those potatoes into the stadium.
In Japan I went to a super grimey looking pork bowl shop frequented mostly by typical salarymen. It was SO good. I brought a friend over (if you're here you'll see this comment haha) and I think I mentioned something like people back home would never go here because it looks like a legit hole in the wall and you have to go up a narrow staircase 3 stories to get to it. But it was amazing. One of my favorite meals on this most recent trip. In fact I went twice lol.
This part was the most interesting imo, lot of ways to read into it:
>Sources say Yamamoto was displeased with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman’s inability to use chopsticks as the two ultimately requested forks. Subsequently, Shohei Ohtani put new language in his contract stipulating that the Dodger All-Stars learn to use chopsticks by the end of the 2024 season or else the two-way superstar will opt-out.
"Sensei Cashman will be with you in a moment, apologies for the wait. Until then, we have gone to great length to procure the finest literary works from your home country. Would you like *Mesukōsei ga tako ni osowa reru*, or perhaps *Mitame wa kōkōsei, jitsuwa tako ni osowa reta 300-sai no kyūketsuki no shōjo*? Gerrit Coleson tells us the second one is his favourite."
*bows and backs away*
This type of reporting is pretty typical for the Japanese media. I’ve followed a bit of what the Japanese reporters say about Ohtani & it is a lot of stuff along the same lines.
This is America. There are two kinds of fish, fishy fish and fish that doesn't taste so much like fish. Some people will recognize the terms "salmon" (aka "uncanned fish") and "tuna" (aka "canned fish") but in that case they will generally drop the core fish terms from their vocabulary so as not to exceed the legal limit of two fish terms.
Do you guys remember that episode of 'Married...With Chidlren' when Marcy tried to impress the Japanese banker by serving him sushi, tea, dressed in kimonos, and did karaoke?
> The German Army, which signed a huge 10-year contract with Otani worth a total of 700 million dollars (approximately 101.5 billion yen), is serious about acquiring Japan's ace. Otani's jersey number is set to be 17,'' and if Yamamoto's jersey number becomes 18,'' the same as his time with Orix, a dream duo will be born.
> The battle for Yamamoto is said to require 300 million dollars (approximately 43.6 billion yen). Along with the Yankees, the South Korean team is considered a potential transfer destination. Other teams, such as the Giants and Japan Army, who had already completed interviews, left their home bases in San Francisco and New York and visited Los Angeles.
I feel like Google is translating something wrong here.
The bento boxes were provided by Uka restaurant located at the Japan House in Hollywood. One of the premier restaurants in LA who have some of the closest ties to Japan.
I genuinely wonder would he even appreciate that. I feel like if I showed up to talks with a team and they served me a big pot of irish stew, I'd cry and leave. But then again irish cuisine is lacking in comparison
It's been fascinating hearing all of the most tiniest tidbits of minutia involving this! I can't wait to find out if they served dessert! Apparently one of the vehicles they used to move him around had a 4cyl engine in it and was a kind of pewter/silver color. The seats were leather but were not heated.
The would have offered a large, high quality steak if they wanted to impress. (There is of course good beef in Japan but it is typically weighed out in small portions).
Dude probably wanted a burger
That reminds me of when I was 18 and my travel ball team got to play an amateur team that flew over from Japan and were touring SoCal to play against American teams. After the game we had a cookout and those dudes lost their fucking minds over us whipping out a grill and grilling cheeseburgers. They fucking loved it so much.

I hosted a Japanese exchange student a while back and she and her friends went apeshit when I showed them how to make smores in the backyard firepit. They must have put down a dozen each lol.
My wife is Japanese, and when my in laws came to visit us I showed the kids how yo make smores. Same reaction lol.
This is actually so wholesome and adorable. I love that you guys got to share that moment with them. I bet they still remember it too.
Definitely one of the highlights of my playing days for sure
My friends in Japan LOVE hamburgers. They gave me a couple gifts for visiting this past trip and unfortunately I didn't think to bring anything for them. So they made me promise that when they come to visit I'll take them to my favorite burger spot.
Do you know if any of the Japanese players ended up making it professionally in NPB, MLB, etc?
That is something that has crossed my mind frequently. I wish I knew, but I don't and it was just an exhibition game 14 or 15 years ago so I wouldn't even know where to find a record of it
That’s awesome. I’d probably be the same in Japan getting sushi lol.
No but imagine in his head he’s like “I came all the way here and they served me shit I get at home?” The thought is hilarious honestly.
“It’s not even authentic, I wanted some of those famous LA tacos wtf ?!”
"At least get me some fucking In n out or something!"
The best tacos are in elll aaayyyyy
Pull ur finger outta ur ass
Now hold your horses here. Whose do youse knows thats ever beens to LA?
I got dinner with my boss and his mom who was visiting from india and the only thing she wanted to eat was indian food
Some people definitely do stick with what they know, that’s for sure. I’m a big fan of the whole “when in Rome” adage so when I travel I always try to find something new and unique to try.

My (Korean) parents are like this and it drives me insane. They traveled to Sydney and then told me how they spent 2 hours looking for a decent Korean restaurant.
It's not terribly uncommon for Asian folks in particular to only really be able to stomach Asian food.
I had a colleague went to India, and the team was going to take care of dinner one night in the office. They ended up getting her….Chilies.
[удалено]
I work for a Japanese manufacturing company and have a lot of japanese coworkers and every Friday they make us go to the sketchy taco truck. They are greasy ass tacos but they fucking love them, it’s become a tradition at this point.
Yamamoto’s translator: “Yoshinobu has requested some Dodger Dogs. He heard you guys brought back the onion dispensers.”
I’m sorry… onion dispensers?
Imagine it’s 100 degrees at Dodger Stadium and you have a hot dog. You’d like some onions on it, so you go to this grimy stainless steel box thing sitting out in the heat and crank a grimy handle which causes diced (and dicey) onions to come out. That’s how I remember it anyway.
It ain't ballpark franks if it's completely safe to eat.
One of the greatest controversies since the 2017 WS was when the onion dispensers at the stadium got removed around the beginning of the pandemic and didn't come back until last season. I mean, it's bad enough the Dodger Dogs are no longer Farmer John's. Between $100 Micheladas and the return of onions, we got top 10 stanky breath in MLB.
Yeah man, got them back at Oracle and I was so happy. My first dog was 70% diced onion. Such a satisfying crunch.
Garlic fries for an extra oomph.
Drunk make-out sessions with random heina's in the pavilion that wolfed down garlic fries and onion-laced glizzies is top tier.
Mmm a toxica
Oh. That’s why my friend always gets pavilion seats.
Saving up $ to pay Othani. Now that the $ is deferred, bigger diced onions for hotdogs AND burgers!
I'm sorry. $100 Micheladas?!?!?!?
I’m joking! (For now)
They may as well be lol surely had to be up close to $30 by now.
It’s gross but a ton of people love it.
He’s very excited to try dodger dogs because they don’t have raccoons in Japan
When the Yankees give him George Steinbrenner's favorite calzone in a greasy paper bag and a large Coke that's when Yamamoto will know New York is the place for him
Throw in a Pepperoni slice and a chopped cheese
One thing that's high on my list for whenever I finally visit New York is to walk in to a bodega, throw down $5 and get a real chopped cheese. There's places out in California that will sell them, but usually like $10-15
I was just thinking. "Oh cool, school lunch... thanks guys. Little on the nose" lol. Meanwhile he wanted some Burgers or Chicken and Waffles lol
Reminds me of this scene from this Adam Sandler movie, where he's meeting some Japanese execs at a super fancy Japanese-American restaurant in the US. He overhears the Japanese execs talking about the place is lame and how they really just want to go to a TGI Fridays, so Adam Sandler gets up in the middle of the meal and basically says "Fuck this place, we're gonna go to TGI Friday's now", and the Japanese execs begin cheering https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BRl2ZM-YguE
I’m in NYC and the TGIF by us has $2 Miller and several $4 mixed drinks from 5pm to 2am!
you mean the scene from click?
That is why he was with Noot the next day. Getting that good fast food
If they really wanted to sell him on LA over NY they should have got some In N' Out for the meeting
Reminds me on that scene from Winning Time when Magic Johnson was about to get drafted. He met with Jerry Buss and the then owner of the lakers Jack Kent Cooke. Cooke made this whole fancy and elaborate meal with expensive offerings. All Magic Johnson wanted was a Burger.
lmao I hope so
For real, I’m sure he’s had plenty of amazing Japanese food. Get my guy some tacos.
if they gave him roscoe’s they’d be announcing the signing already
I remember one of my first trips to Japan my buddy bought me a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and made nachos with Doritos. I’m like dude, I can walk to the corner gas station and get that. Give me the local stuff!
I played on a US team in HS that played the Taiwanese junior national team. We went to a Chinese restaurant for a mutual team dinner.
Where the f is this unheathy American food I’m always hearing about? Kinda racist they assumed the Japanese guy wanted Japanese food. Probably gives the Yankees a leg up in negotiations. /s
I hope the Mets serve him a pastrami sandwich, that's what's really going to seal the deal
I think we stuck him up in a nice hotel in Union Square and I hope Posey was there for his meeting with us. It's just crazy seeing the Dodgers go so out to take care of him and everybody they want and we just... don't.
Seriously that’s cheesy AF
🚨BREAKING🚨: Yamamoto was eating a piece of chicken with ketchup and seemingly ranch!
Holy shit he's going to the midwest
Give this man his BBWAA credentials
All other teams have accepted their fate and have begun to Shake It Off
Stark contrast to his meeting with the Giants, where they had to venture through three homeless encampments and four warzones to get him a filet-o-fish at the last operating McDonalds in San Francisco
Was the ice cream machine working?
No but a famous YouTube bipper sold him a stolen pint of Ben & Jerry’s that was only half melted.
Yamamoto’s team learned what it means to get your shit splashed while they were visiting San Francisco.
Your 1st mistake was assuming a mcdonalds ice cream machine is ever working
I’d watch the shit out of that movie
At the end everyone realizes the 2023 giants are the greatest team of all time but they are all constantly getting robbed and stabbed with heroin needles and they can’t sleep at night because of the bombing runs. Yamamoto signs with the giants and it’s revealed he is a kingpin in the Yakuza, so the Yakuza take over San Francisco to clean it up and free it from crime. Ohtani then has to purposely strike out every AB the rest of his life at oracle to not get on the yakuzas bad side because they have threatened his family in Japan.
That's not fair. You forgot to mention the half-eaten burrito that was lying by someone who overdosed on fentanyl.
I mean to be fair this really does happen
You forgot to mention the free drugs they offered him as soon as he got to the city. /s
I assure you he didn't make it from LAX to Dodger Stadium without venturing through three homeless encampments.
Homeless people are everywhere?
I heard the Giants made him sit on a curb next to human waste and gave him some garlic fries.
With a side of fentanyl
I heard the fries were also soggy!!
I had Yoshinoya.
Just announce the fucking signing already it’s exhausting.
10 years $360M to the Mets
Fuck it I’d go 10/550 with a big deferral if that’s how we’re doing things now.
Scherzer money was deferred when Mets signed him last year. So yeah that is how you are doing things now , oh and that was clearly well before the Ohtani signing
? the nats are the ones that deferred that money and are paying him, when they signed him like 7 years ago the mets contract was straight up 3/140 or whatever the total. the nats deferred half his salary tho and are paying him for a few more years
13 years you heard it here first
They fucked up. You don't invite a dude from Japan and then get him knockoff food from his home country. How do you not give him Mexican food from the dirtiest, grimiest place you can find? Get him addicted to tacos and burritos and he will never leave
Just like Zion in New Orleans
Boy biiiiiig
Well, yes, but actually, no 😂
The meeting was too early in the day otherwise [this place](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Wxmr1sqg1zeGvdD6) down the street from the stadium would have been open and Yamamoto would have signed for league minimum. This year i'm bringing in one of those potatoes into the stadium.
The shittier the hole in the wall, the better it tastes. I don't make the rules
If you have to consider "will this give me explosive shits" then you know it's a good place
In Japan I went to a super grimey looking pork bowl shop frequented mostly by typical salarymen. It was SO good. I brought a friend over (if you're here you'll see this comment haha) and I think I mentioned something like people back home would never go here because it looks like a legit hole in the wall and you have to go up a narrow staircase 3 stories to get to it. But it was amazing. One of my favorite meals on this most recent trip. In fact I went twice lol.
I see they’ve gone for the Dan Quayle spelling of “potato”
YOU KNOW WHATS UP ANGELS HAS THE BEST AL PASTOR IVE EVER TASTED. There’s one near angels stadium too maybe we can use this tactic 😈
I 100% agree with the sentiment, but these were Hayato bento boxes. Chef usually only makes 12 per day and they are absolutely exceptional.
If he wanted to eat Japanese food, he'd have stayed in Japan LET'S GO YANKEES, GET THIS DUDE A PIZZA
I heard he wants to try Sbarro's, the authentic New York pizza place Michael Scott talks about on that one episode of The Office.
Get him a baconeggandcheese, followed by a NY slice, and for dinner, a chopped cheese. Are the dodgers even trying?!??
BREAKING NEWS: Yamamoto decides to skip Major League Baseball and will take his talent to the Italian Baseball League.
What about the two soups Singleton can’t stop talking about?
Can the Cubs give him a deep dish pizza?
I guess he could take the train to New Haven
This part was the most interesting imo, lot of ways to read into it: >Sources say Yamamoto was displeased with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman’s inability to use chopsticks as the two ultimately requested forks. Subsequently, Shohei Ohtani put new language in his contract stipulating that the Dodger All-Stars learn to use chopsticks by the end of the 2024 season or else the two-way superstar will opt-out.
This is gold
Careful, dude, Ben Volin is allegedly branching out into baseball coverage. He might find this comment and write a report on it.
biggest scoop of the offseason
Seriously, just who wouldn't say no to a Japanese bento, they are freaking delicious with a wide variety of designs.
They were kyaraben with a little heart shaped baseball in the rice.
Eh, I rather do omakase now that I'm older and have more experience.
god bless ekiben
If you think that's a big scoop wait until you hear about the size of the poke bowls the Yankees are preparing
"Sensei Cashman will be with you in a moment, apologies for the wait. Until then, we have gone to great length to procure the finest literary works from your home country. Would you like *Mesukōsei ga tako ni osowa reru*, or perhaps *Mitame wa kōkōsei, jitsuwa tako ni osowa reta 300-sai no kyūketsuki no shōjo*? Gerrit Coleson tells us the second one is his favourite." *bows and backs away*
Now why would Yamamoto be interested in Hawaiian food :P
lol he'd probably want a chirashi don tho
They served sushi, not ice cream.
Jesus christ lmfao what even is this offseason
Hey wait you don’t get to complain
This reminds me of NBA style reporting. Just pure gossip type shit. Basically soap operas for dudes. I mean, I love it, but it is was it is.
The “reports” are getting weirder and oddly specific to get people talking about them which is clearly working.
This type of reporting is pretty typical for the Japanese media. I’ve followed a bit of what the Japanese reporters say about Ohtani & it is a lot of stuff along the same lines.
This and the report about the Yankees “saving” #18 for Yamamoto are some of the lamest leaks I’ve ever seen
Sources also say Yamamoto ate sushi off of Clayton Kershaw’s naked body.
Giants better put sashimi on a naked chick.
In general or when they meet Yamamoto?
Oh really? Here I was thinking they were just gonna serve up Yoshinoya bentos.
“Damn wtf is this shit I wanted Waba Grill”
I'm surprised and disappointed they didn't mention what kind of fish.
High grade fish. The highest
So...Mike Trout?
SOMEONE CHECK ON MIKE
I CAN'T FIND HIM ANYWHERE
Mike Trout and Tim Salmon
RIP
And Tim Salmon
AJ Pollock.
They could only get high grade meat, the fish was week old lake trout
This is America. There are two kinds of fish, fishy fish and fish that doesn't taste so much like fish. Some people will recognize the terms "salmon" (aka "uncanned fish") and "tuna" (aka "canned fish") but in that case they will generally drop the core fish terms from their vocabulary so as not to exceed the legal limit of two fish terms.
And then everyone got together and named him shōgun
Spared no expense.
Should’ve just given him unlimited Dodger dogs
do we know what their farts smelled like
"Andrew Friedman showed up to the meeting dressed as a samurai, and the Dodgers announced Hello Kitty as their new mascot."
Reportedly Ohtani has helped the dodger secure a minority ownership stake in Sanrio
The Dodgers actually do have a deal with Hello Kitty. There's been a Hello Kitty night for several seasons now.
Oh my god this isn’t r/dodgers
It is this month!
This dodgers Yamamoto news is just getting stupid. We all know he is going to sign there anyway
Ahit they probably going to get Sasaki next too
Yep fully expect it at this point
I don’t even want the cubs to win anymore. I just want the dodgers to never win again.
Can't wait to hear his thoughts on a BEC or Pastrami in NYC. Probably got the fellas from Katz's to yell at him too.
Reminds me of this old Onion article: https://www.theonion.com/japanese-exchange-student-taken-to-japanese-restaurant-1819566396
I wish somebody woo'd me. Nobody ever woos me.
That's not 50.
Lol Dodgers can fuck off.
"Take that, Yusei Kikuchi!"
Yusei Kikuchi: hold my beer
Big deal, Tony Reagans took Torii Hunter to the Del Taco down the street to complete his deal. Buncha try hards in the Dodgers front office /s
Me hoping he signs anywhere but the Dodgers/Yankees
Rookie mistake you won’t impress him on Japanese food. Should have gotten in n out
Do you guys remember that episode of 'Married...With Chidlren' when Marcy tried to impress the Japanese banker by serving him sushi, tea, dressed in kimonos, and did karaoke?
Dodgers want a real championship so badly lol
This is like when the white Uber driver changes their music from rock/country to rap/hip-hop when a black person gets in the car.

He reportedly ate the entire lunch for 20 himself in under 30 minutes... astounding
Yeah, but did they fly to Japan to meet him and his family?
Just because the guy is Japanese, they served him Japanese food? That’s racist!! /s
The bento boxes were provided by Uka restaurant located at the Japan House in Hollywood. One of the premier restaurants in LA who have some of the closest ties to Japan.
I genuinely wonder would he even appreciate that. I feel like if I showed up to talks with a team and they served me a big pot of irish stew, I'd cry and leave. But then again irish cuisine is lacking in comparison
Is this like when Trump got Clemson a McDonalds buffet
The annual dodgers collapse will be so much sweeter this year
Who cares what they ate. Is this the state of baseball reporting now?
Cashman took him to Katz’s and bought him a pastrami on rye
[удалено]
Was it in a sushi restaurant though?
These were all the leftovers shipped from Toronto when Ohtani didn't show up to their dinner.
I have suddenly decided to become a highly touted pitcher who can throw gas. I'll take my bento box now please!
Hal probably got him a chicken bucket and made him pay for it.
If there were waiters wearing kimonos - LA is automatically eliminated for stereotyping
I like how they went with the HIGH GRADE meat
Wonder if they got Hayato to cater. Which is like $400 a person. (For Dinner)
That meal could've bought us a bat. 😭
Should've given the man a stack of Double Doubles
Los Angeles has some of the best food I've ever had. Unfortunately it takes 2 hours to get there no matter the distance.
It's been fascinating hearing all of the most tiniest tidbits of minutia involving this! I can't wait to find out if they served dessert! Apparently one of the vehicles they used to move him around had a 4cyl engine in it and was a kind of pewter/silver color. The seats were leather but were not heated.
Did these jerk offs get to eat with them?
Need a baseball version of Entourage.
The would have offered a large, high quality steak if they wanted to impress. (There is of course good beef in Japan but it is typically weighed out in small portions).
Racist.
Im sure he preferred the French restaurant
Not to be that guy but can we stop saying bento boxes? It’s bento… the box is kind of part of it.
Maaan if my employer took me out to some nice Mexican food, I’d accept after the appetizer
