Taco rice (タコライス, takoraisu) is a Japanese dish and a clear example of Okinawan cuisine. It consists of minced meat Tex-Mex style with lettuce, tomato, cheese and Tex-Mex chili sauce over rice. Basically a Mexican Taco coating the rice instead of tortillas.

This dish is very common in Okinawa and conbinis sell what would be a version "maki" taco rice with melted cheese.
KFC and Yoshinoya included in their menus taco rice Okinawa since 1996 and 2004 respectively.

Legend has it that this dish was invented by a local chef in the 60 in the town of Kin (Okinawa) in one of the foundations of American marine combining features Tex-Mex with the rice that is very abundant in Okinawa .

The truth is that since I came to Okinawa I love to eat Taco rice, especially rice Taco as the conbinis maki.

Some other curious that we are in the matsuri Yonabaru to part of Okinawa Sumo were a couple of shops which were selling empanadas and churros.

The Jimami-doufu tofu is a type of sweet typical of Okinawa.

The Jimami-doufu is a peanut tofu taste which leads agar (vegetable gelatin marine), tofu, sugar, salt and peanuts.

The texture of Jimami-dofu is something different from the normal tofu, the Jimami-dofu has a texture somewhat more similar to mochi.

The peanut tofu served with a sauce made from seaweed, bonito, wasabi, sugar, soy sauce, peanuts and daikon.

The other day I tried it for the first time and the truth is that I like much more than normal tofu.

Hotel Restaurant Kagurazaka has surprised customers with its new Gyoza giant.

The ingredients used are equivalent to the ones used for 100 gyozas currents.

One of the things that amaze customers is the enormous thickness of its mass, even double that of a pizza.

But to be pre-cooked its texture is soft, making them easier to ingest.

Many people have been asked the creators of this huge Gyoza really do usually ask people what, what they have answered that asks a lot more than what they expected and that apparently loves its customers to finish eat well-filled stomach.

This little old hamburger has chosen to become a vending machine.
The restaurant has several options and "vending machines" in each of them can opt for soft drinks, bread or finally to bring the burger. The oddest thing about this is that removing the bread machine the rest is expended by the cook of the restaurant.

It appears that the machine does not have the burger very controlled, and finally had to go in for it. Once inside you can see that the owner is a big fan of the horror genre. In short order a burger here is an experience as a little fun.

His peculiar way of preparing the Ramen has been popularized among the residents of the area, but lately many residents from other parts of Tokyo moving expressly to test their Ramen.

Usually people leave satisfied with the experience, the combination of salty and sweet creaminess that gives ice cream and chocolate combined in a striking manner with the Ramen soup , but as they say to taste colors.

Today we speak of Zauo, a restaurant chain in Japan that are not common but it is not difficult to find.

The peculiarity of these restaurants is that customers can catch their own food. In the middle of the restaurant is like a channel full of fish and customers can be fished from a kind of boat or from a special room for it.

The fish are very easy to catch, then fall ... I guess that there will be many and the probability that one bite the bait is greater.

Once you've caught the waiter comes and asks you how you prepare it. The fact that it is a way to make sure the fish eat very very cool.
