      It makes me drool! I hear it with a Japanese accent/pronunciation when I see it written or an image of it. It makes rice cakes even less appealing when I’m snacking & watching

    I want to thank you STJ! I will be in Japan in October. At one point I need to travel from Sendai to Hokkaido. I was going to fly but you have convinced me to take the overnight Taiheiyo Ferry. I am so looking forward to it! Thank you once again!

    When they have all the utensils laid out on the table for a multicourse meal, you always use the outermost utensils for the plate of food given to you.
    Also, a bisque is a type of soup traditionally made with the shells of whatever type of crustacean is contained within the soup. As the bisque contained sweet prawns, the broth contains the crushed up shell of sweet prawns as well as pieces of sweet prawn.

    When we lived in Japan, we took the ferry to Hokkaido for the ice festival. The seas were so rough that EVERYONE was getting sick, even the Navy sailors. Coming back wasn’t so bad, but I will never forget the trip north.
    The ice festival itself was worth it -absolutely spectacular creations!

    After watching your videos during the pandemic I started learning Japanese. I don't know if I'll ever need to use it, but I do make カレーライス at home and can get it at some restaurants nearby, but so far I like the Vermont Curry brand roux blocks better than the nearby Japanese restaurants. Even if I never go to Japan, it's still good to learn something difficult like another language. It keeps your brain healthy. ありがとうございます

  • @slkriderchick
    @slkriderchick Год назад +7

    Wow. This was fancy, shmancy meals. I keep forgetting this is a ferry and not a cruise ship. If I ever wanted to try a dinner course that has more utensils than I have fingers on one hand and feel out of place eating, this would be it. The presentations are exquisite and almost too beautiful to eat. I can now see why meals are about quality and not quantity across the pond.

    • @MilwaukeeWoman
      @MilwaukeeWoman Год назад

      High priced meals with less concern about quantity can be had anywhere, including the United States and there's loads of inexpensive restaurants and foods in Japan if you want to eat a lot for cheap. But it's true that portion sizes are generally larger here than many other parts of the world. It's also more common to take leftovers home, many servers in many countries would be confused by a request for a to-go box. But if you want a gourmet meal, plated beautifully, at a table set with fresh linen, even the smaller cities here have them.

    The interior decor is decades old in style, but it looks clean. Yes, with utensils, you start outside, and work your way in. The utensil above your plate is for dessert. And, bisque is a creamy French soup made with a seafood stock. It is often shrimp or lobster.

    It's always so surreal when you get (almost) entire service to yourself!
    Last summer I was 2,5 day cruise here on the Baltic. On the return trip I pretty much had the entire "Premium Lounge" with all the services to myself. Staff told me that there was like only 10-15 people total in this entire "lux class" and if it was any less, they'd closed down the cafe/bar and just provided full-on room service for all of us entirely free. Even now they they asked us to "pre-order" if we wanted any heated pastries etc so nothing went stale out in the open.
    I was so blown away when I was allowed to use the Sauna/Spa they had freely that evening as long as I wrote the cabin number to the list on the door, booked the couple of last hours straight away! Spent like 2 hours just roasting myself in sauna and hot tub with forward facing windows and I had the server on-call if I would have wanted any drinks.
    ABSOLUTELY the best cruise experience I've ever had, even if they didn't have cabin type I would've preferred on that ship.
    And I just love these "smaller" ferry-type cruises and ships in general. They usually run with such a small front staff that they, and you, really get to know each other during those trips, no matter how long or short they are!

    Glad to have joined you on the ferry. Interesting room decor. As you said, it was unique. Your breakfast seemed a little wanting, but lunch and dinner was well presented. Too bad about the sunrise, but the sea was consistently beautiful. Will catch you in the next one. Take care, stay safe.

  • @hazelhatswell4268
    @hazelhatswell4268 Год назад

    Ahhh Bisque!!! I live in Brittany in France and this is a speciality! Bisque is a method of extracting flavor from the whole shellfish carcass. In an authentic bisque, even the shells are crushed to obtain a fine paste which is added to thicken the soup. The bisque is then thickened using rice , which can either be winnowed to leave only the starch, or pureed in the final phase. Delicious!
    I love your videos (and your wonderful sense of humour ~ ‘Curry freak’ indeed!). I don’t just watch your videos once, I keep returning to enjoy them again and again. I’ve always been very interested in Japan, it’s culture and it’s cuisine. In my work I had the opportunity to travel to many foreign lands but, unfortunately, I never did manage to get to Japan 🥺. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your country and discover what I missed 👍🇯🇵👍

    Goodness me what a fine dining experience on board a ferry. I think Japan must have the best transport system and system food in the world. And you don't have to tip. You certainly would not get such good food in the UK and no way are our transport as clean as there. We have too many rowdies who hate to see nice things. Your rivers are so clean too whereas here they are full of supermarket trollies and rubbish. Love your videos and your humour thank you so much ❤🙂👵
