So i bought one and just so happens it has a huge Canadian flag on it, thats it. There was no further thought process. And btw I LOVE that shirt! Its soft...you'd be surprised how many shirts just feels like wearing starched up cotton.

    another good thing to buy at the tsijuki market is a japanese traditionally hand-crafted kitchen knife. beautiful. if you get one expensive, versatile one it will last you a lifetime, and every time you chop and cut you'll enjoy it. worth the money if you like cooking, i think.

    Can't help but notice that you are very American, which is a good thing. You're very open, expressive, and friendly but you also totally stand out amongst the Japanese. You may look East Asian but your language and attitude showed that you had more of a western upbringing. I don't mean to offend it's just something I've come to notice being a hafu in Japan

    • @xnonsuchx
      @xnonsuchx 7 років тому +7

      I was surprised he didn't know that. It's usually slightly to mildly sweet, though, and maybe what he got was a lot sweeter than normal.

      tomago literally just means "grilled egg" you can make it sweet or salty or whatever the f u want.

    • @_silverword
      @_silverword 7 років тому +5

      idol hands it is traditionally sweet because tamago is typically a meal ender, like a dinner mint

      @mimine7823 7 років тому +6

      I'm a Japanese. We have both. Dashi Maki Tamago, which is served at Izakaya, is normally salty and it's a kind of appetizer going with alcohol drinks. Also, it varies depending on the region.

      Nanako Mine well, i work with sushi and with tamago in relation to that, its almost always sweet. considering Mike's at a fish market, he should expect sweet tamago

    "I learned my Japanese through anime"
    Bruh, I'm so confused cuz a lot of Japanese people will say that the Japanese that comes from anime is usually wrong but then this guy survived the day just using what he learned from anime. Also, the vendors there spoke a little English, so I give them props for being dedicated and considerate.
