Hello everyone! When I started this blog I said that I would also talk about other things other than the main topic of this blog (which is video games by the way), so to add a bit of variety to the blog and given that these days I have a bit more of free time, I´m going to start a new section (soon I plan to start more) of the blog in which I will talk about... stuff. Several stuff. But fear not, all that stuff will always be related to what we love the most: being a geek, otaku or whatever you want to call it. Yes, it is about time you come to terms with what you are, because if you are reading this blog, that´s what you are... and that’s what I like you so much! Anyway, in this first entry of this new section I´m going to talk a little bit about Japanese “gastronomy” related to video games and manga/anime, and I specified “little bit” because if I have to mention all that has ever existed, or exists or will one day exist, I will most probably end up making the new Michelin Guide of the otaku gourmet, so I apologize beforehand if I don´t include your favorite establishment/product, but please be my guess and contribute to the cause by adding it to the comments (this said with teary desperate eyes).
Ahhh, Japan, Japan, Japan, what would I do without you... That Japan is a country that is just “different” is something that no one (specially among westerners) doubts, in fact even many Japanese seem to agree on this, and although at times it is indeed too... different, some of us love it that way, after all, if it wasn´t like that we might had never be able to enjoy the stories that came out of the minds of geniuses like Go Nagai, Hayao Miyazaki, Shigeru Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima, Akira Toriyama or Hironobu Sakaguchi among many others that I won´t mention here so I leave some free in Google servers for the rest. Although generalizing is not right, as many of you might already know Japanese give a lot of importance to presentation, and is not like the westerners don´t, but Japanese just do it even more. If we add to this their constant aiming for perfection, their obsession for small details and innovation, they impulse to make of everything an art, and their obvious talent for business, is not strange that Japan is the home for many important companies in a variety of fields such as Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Konami, Bandai-Namco, Canon, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Yamaha, Mitsubishi and that it´s or I never end this entry. As I was saying before, Japanese apply this philosophy to ALL they do, and that includes also “food and restoration” (if you could call that what I´m about to show you), so you can already image the kinds of things they could come up with, and if you don´t, I will my pleasure to give you a small sample right away.
