   I have especially enjoyed the Japan segment - makes me want to revisit Japan and go to Osaka just for their food and earthliness! I love food, but ironically I have never really been a big fan of Chinese cuisine - a tad too oily and ‘complicated’ for me, I guess. Quite different from the clean, simple and mostly healthy Japanese cuisine which is high on my list.

   It seems like Osaka is unique in Japan and this show does make me want to visit. Of the Asian food, I think I would rate them in this order… Japanese, Vietnamese Thai, Chinese, Burmese, Indonesian. It is interesting though that most people pick up the taste for Japanese food later in life, maybe around college years on. It seems a lot of kids don’t really care for raw fish.

   I am disappointed to see Malaysian is not on your list.

   Unfortunately we are not blessed with great Malaysian cuisine in San Francisco… and for that matter, Indonesian food… oh and I forgot to mention Cambodian. I guess what I should say is I would love to be able to eat each type of food for each day in a week, if I could.

   david….please sign me up for your dream eating plan….Oddly I spent lots of time in Japan in the early 90s and don’t remember the fook in Osaka being that special….hmmm….I missed out!! One of my fave travel memories is sitting in a little street noodle tent during a winter rain in Tokyo…the steaming bowl of noodles was profoundly comforting….

   Maybe they just do Osaka up for the show. I don’t ever read much about that city. I always assume it was kind of a boring little place.

   That’s a pretty sweet experience you had in Tokyo. I can totally picture it.
