❦ The Great Japan Instant Curry Review Thread Part 3🧵
(Curries 81-110)

The curries go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah! 80 curries in, & I think I've only scratched the surface!

☞ Ratings out of 10. A ⁵⁄₁₀ is a solid curry. There are better & worse, but 5s are meant to be average yet good.

The curry bookshelf! A delightfully massive selection of retort curries contained on a bookshelf in a store.

If you're looking for a comfortable anime at the end of the day that is easy to relax to, I would like to recommend ラーメン赤猫 (Red Cat Ramen). It's about a ramen shop run by cats.

How is the cocktail-serving bar scene in Takamatsu these days? I haven't been back in a while.

I wonder... In Japan, you can order most basic cocktails in a bar, even if they aren't featured on a menu, too. I tend to stick to the menu, but I've been known to ask for a cheeky Old Fashioned to see how it comes out. That said, I do avoid it at nice places because off-menu prices can be a shock.

I'm always stumbling across new slang online, so if you throw a little AI slop into a sentence, all of a sudden it becomes very hard to tell if it's something new or meaningless blegh.

Same! I find way more interesting new reads in a Village Vanguard.

I read Breon Mitchell's translation of The Trial by Kafka a little while back, and in the preface from the author, I think something was expressed that all of us feel about some projects:

"Translating Kafka was once my dream. Now all I dream of is how I might have done it better."

Those fun conversations where someone says 壊された, and m'like "no, no, no... YOU broke it; 壊したね!"

Let the Right Katch In 🧛🎃 @katch.bsky.social · 1d

Like, "I'm just someone looking out for you!"

And I think I'm the third to back this up. Yeah, it adds emphasis while referring to an understood subject. It could be the speaker or potentially someone/thing else.

food & museums are most of the reason I go anywhere 😊 thanks for telling me; I've made a note!

We spent 2 hours looking around, so this is just a teeny tiny example of some of the categories of things to see.

a very colorful block print with vibrant colors from 1821; because this print was considered pornographic & technically illegal, many more colors than were legal to use in a single image at the time are present

an amazingly detailed image of a man meditating beneath a waterfall from 1836; there are many images like these that look like they came from some highly-detailed comicbook about legends & history in the exhibit

sketches studying & demonstrating how much can be achieved with a few strokes in drawing birds & women in kimono from 1823

6 portraits of men making funny faces & doing goofy things, as well as a drawing of two men launching a third man using a textile

Went to the Hokusai exhibit running until the end of November at Creative Museum Tokyo in Kyobashi. I've seen a lot of his work over the years, but had no idea how incredibly prolific he was, or that he was basically drawing comics in the early 1800s. It's an amazing exhibit that I highly recommend!

I don't tend to sit and watch it on my own, but I love going to a game. Y'get a lil food, y'get a lil drink, y'get to shout at the top of your lungs... It's very therapeutic.
