    Mike, there are savoury desserts in Japan. The noodle dessert you had is a konjac noodle version of the savoury dessert "tokoroten", which normally has agar agar noodles instead. The sauce is close to ponzu sauce with soysauce, mirin and vinegar. You usually put a little bit of the spicy mustard on as well.
    Eating dessert at the end of the meal isn't part of Japanese food culture but a foreign thing that's become more common in recent decades. Japanese meals often have sweet-savoury dishes in them so there's no idea of having a sweet treat at the end to contrast with the savoury meal. Instead, Japanese desserts and confectionaries are helpers to drink green tea during tea time. So if it helps you drink the bitter green tea, it doesn't matter if it's sweet or savoury, because it's not a contrast to a savoury meal.

      the cold noodles at the end were labeled "hiyashi chuka" aka Chinese style cold noodles... it's not dessert lol. the one above it is supposed to mimic raw liver sashimi. I think that was just the cold food bar, so regular food plus dessert

  • @jayaniceday3602

    Konjac (or konyaku in Japanese) is a standard item put into Oden. And people often put spicy mustard on Oden so it is not really unusual to have konjac with spicy mustard. Oden is often considered a winter food since it warms you up well and putting spicy mustard on the items makes one feel even warmer. If people want an easy way to eat konjac in Japan, just go to any convenience store selling Oden and take the white or grey jelly thing in there along with some other items.

    I would buy konjac jellies and have them in the fridge at work for a zero calorie treat, but someone kept stealing them, so I refilled empty containers with soap water. Thief ate two of them before noticing. REVENGE! Anyway, this was interesting - all we get are the jellies and the zero noodles here in Australia. I hope we get more varieties soon.

    Mike, I am a super fan. I've been following you for a long time. you were living in Queens, but I think you were living in the Elmhurst area (I grew up in Woodhaven) I worked as an EMT over at the Elmhurst hospital. If you travel worldwide with your partner you should get her to help you. It will boost your viewership with the wives. I am jealous because I was in Japan back in 1984-5 when I worked for a computer company Digital (DEC) I was there for just over 3 weeks at Canon. I was an engineer doing a technical repair manual on one of their inkjet printers for my company. The engineers always want to go out drinking after work, but I did not drink. Anyway, always love all your videos.
