In today’s episode, Dark_Sage attempts to conquer the hidden Japanese dish “tempura shrimp roru”. Translated into English, the roll consists of “decapod crustaceans covered in crunchy stuff and mayonnaise”. Let’s see how he did!
Acquiring
Due to the modern invention of pre-made food, I was able to attain seafish straight from the Ocean of Japan with minimal effort on my part. My previous ten attempts at becoming Japanese have each ended in failure at the home prep stage, so I finally wised up and had the local Japanese chef, Gabriella, make me some.
Eating
With the strength of a thousand gozaimashitas, I shoveled the roll into my mouth hole without gagging even once.
And as per custom, I finished off the meal with a sugoi serving of Ron Burgundy’s Limited Edition Scotchy Scotch Scotch Ice Cream Product from Ben & Jerry’s (all rights reserved).
It was pretty good.
Verdicting
Unfortunately, while I successfully consumed both dishes in typical Japanese fashion, I acquired the sushi at full price, rather than through the time-honored tradition of battling with wolves over half-price food covered in plastic.
Dark_Sage has once again failed to become Japanese. His quest continues.
Ben-To was a fun show.
It was too good for Japan. RIP my season 2…
Funimation picked it up for release though… so that’s interesting. I can’t think of the last time I saw them go back and license a show from 3 or more years ago if it wasn’t a license rescue.
I don’t think Funi has enough love for Ben-to (or even enough money) to bankroll a second season.
Well I never said THAT. I just thought it was odd that they licensed it at all. Especially since I don’t remember it being a huge hit or anything. I’m not complaining, though.
Fair enough. Yeah, I’m p. hyped.
Unfortunately the convenience store where we were going to duke it out for the right to buy the food that went on sale went out of business about a week after Ben-To aired. We never got to implement the idea.
Seafood’s good and healthy, I’m lucky enough that I can eat fish and shrimp from sunday to wednesday. It’s also delicious.
How do you manage to pull that off? Seafood is several times more expensive than chicken here in the states, ranging from $6-$10+ per pound.
Here in Mexico, I’m in a small place called Toluca where everything is incredibly cheap. Three fillets and a 1-portion-sized bag of shrimps is less than 10 dollars! It’s insane(ly good). In my hometown in Argentina, this was impossible. Fish is a lot healthier than chicken too, of course.
And here I thought you’ve long since kicked the bucket… Turns out it was full of seafood!
More like full of mercury poisoning.
Looks like you are farther along on your quest than I am, D_S. Still, we both have quite a ways to go.
