Ramen Jiro's lover stopped eating Jiro

Today, more and more people in the world eat ramen noodle. It came from Chinese dish but Japan improved it and even Chinese call noodle as Japanese style ramen(日式拉麺).
In Tokyo, there are famous ramen shops called Jiro. What is special there is that it serves the crazy amount of ramen.



A guy loves Jiro's ramen has been to different Jiro's ramen shops and eaten ramen. Then he tweeted its taste using special language. Because of his tweets, he became popular among Japanese net surfers. But Jiro's ramen contains lots of salt(more than 10 g) and lots of fat. Because of this, he seemed to get sick and announced that he give up tweeting for "some accidents"




If you are interested in ramen jiro, read/watch the following.

Competent killer, Mochi killes people every New Year

According to news paper Yomiuri, during the New Year of 2015, 9 people were somothered to die by Japanese traditional food Mochi. Besides, 13 persons suffered cardiopulmonary arrest. Mochi is made from rice and its mouthfeel is like a gummy candy. Since it's so sticey and difficult to crunch enough to pass throurgh trachea, it clogs the trachea so often. So every New Year, elder people die of it.

Needless to say, it's as dengerous as poisnous food but Japanese still eat it because it's a custom. Every year, the Japanese government alterts people to be careful about it, but in vain.


In the following video, you can see how to make mochi and how they eat it.
