While it may be an honor for restaurants in Europe to be evaluated by Michelin, long-established Kyoto restaurants cherish their distinct cuisine tradition, history and culture. From their perspective, the patron’s review is far more important than what the French think.

Obviously they don't realise that most of the reviewers…

Michelin is good for finding good restaurants at the top end of the price range. I don't agree that they judge on good wine; look at the Tokyo guide and many picks serve Nihonshu. Other posters here like Hot Pepper. Ha! I say. Pure advertising and no editorial. Well if…

Apart from the fact that I can't understand the fascination with young girls panties, the guy must be a complete moron to steal them all. Why didn't he just steal one? Anyway I have no sympathy for this complete pervert using his authority in this way.

It isn't really relevant who is older or younger and this is probably just a bad translation. In Japanese, even with twins you make a distinction who is younger. Because the don't have a word for same aged sister (or brother). And this is just a direct translation.

Ha ha, I definitely don't want to get in a fight about skin color! Preferences aren't based on fact, reason or anything like that. I may be wrong, but my impression is that many Japaense girls want whiter skin. But there was a fashion a few years ago where…

True: black skin ages better than white skin. White people need to hide from the sun. You may dance around the subject as much as you all want to but the facts are pointing to one thing: most Japanese women wish their skin was lighter in color, not darker.

"for the sake of a ‘‘vague’’ cause of scenery preservation" instead of the vague cause of "making work for construction firms that give me kickbacks."

I hope it does cause a precedent. Scenery preservation is the most worthwhile cause. They don't even need a bridge. The argument was so that…

I think that good skin has more to do with genetics and staying out of the sun/elements. I eat all sorts of rubbish but my skin is good (not that I'm bothered). Also I yet to see any evidence that collagen is good for your skin. It seems to be…

I tend to think the Japanese prediliction towards eating their own rice will see cultivation of rice continue unabated.

Well it is true that almost all Japanese I meet thinks that Japanese rice is the best in the world. Years of govt. propaganda seem to have worked. I would like…

I don't think these girls would last one day on a rice farm. I get annoyed when these organisations promote Japanese farms and rice. The Japanese rice farm will soon be extinct because the kids don't want to work on a farm. And that won't be a bad thing, cheaper…
