When I was young, my dream is to become a Japanese.
In spite of the many war movies that I have seen where the Japanese soldiers were shown as villains, I still want to be a member of the Voltes V team, hunt down Godzilla and play catch with Mickey Mouse at Tokyo Disneyland. Even in college, I dig Shonen Knife's music and follow Son Goku's adventure as if I am part of it.
I am now a family in my thirties and still, the Japanese dream sticks in my bucket list but a little logical this time, of course. Well, I just want to visit the country and experience the wonder of how high-end technologies is able to go along with the rich tradition of the land of the rising sun. And I do hope to accomplish this anytime soon.
For now, easiest access to feel a little bit of Japan is to consume all the Japanese dishes I can. Well, the month of March seems friendly that I got quite a treat on it's first day. I was invited to the launch of the new additions to the already-awesome menu of Japanese dishes of Yoshinoya, one of Japan’s largest chains of beef bowl restaurants and a favorite fast-food brand.
For two hours, it felt like I was a Japanese with eight (yes eight!) different Yoshinoya dishes served to our table one by one that when somebody called me up over the phone, I answered "konichiwa." Now that's what you call turning Japanese without really trying.
I want to share to you the delectable entries me and all my fellow bloggers and members of media had that night which everyone can also experience only in Yoshinoya.
