Food checklist from five days so far in Japan, where * denotes an allegedly local specialty (christ it seems way longer than that):

Pickled eggplant
*Goya (would not recommend)
*Fresh local grapes (green and red) about an inch in diameter
Fish
more fish
Japanese curry at a cute little eatery that's probably gonna be a second home to me, if the owners' generosity is any indication
Half a bottle of CC lemon
Spaghetti with mentaiko, in a single-serving sized portion that cost 170 yen
A fair share of convenience-store riceballs
*Hiya-jiru, a miso and fish stock soup served cold and poured on top of a huge bowl of rice
Scallops in a citrus sauce that I suspect would be *hyuganatsu
Prosciutto and melon
Hazelnut cake
Also, ice coffees are different. It's a chilled black filter coffee dealie into which you pour syrup. I'm probably gonna stick to soft drinks.

I've yet to eat a mango, as the season for them just finished, they are as expensive to regular mangoes as square watermelons are to regular ones. They're also about the same size as a curled-up three month old kitten, which is a metric that I got from the aforementioned eatery.

I've yet to eat the prefecture's signature dish, chicken nanban. Three meals at a time and all that.
