Hydrolyzed shoyu was invented on this little rock after the war, when demand was high for the stuff and producing it the old way was not efficient/fast enough.

It smells that way to a lot of people. People don't believe it because they're incapable of detecting that odor. I can easily detect it because I used to paint model cars when I was a kid. The smell is burnt into my brainpan. == Not everything on me works perfectly, but my nose works Very Well ![]() |

Sometimes it shuts down. I don't much like it when that happens. |

I thought it was so-so but my wife said it was such a treat. She went to a Japanese restaurant and said their butterfish was no match for mine. She said the restaurant made the marinade too sweet. I'm gonna make it again using dirt cheap pollak. I don't much care for the butterfish in the markets these days. So this might work out well. |

My daughter requested that I make it. Who would guess that I'd be doing that? Not me.. I don't get along with potatoes. It's a pretty good Japan potato salad and it's not something that's readily available. Mostly people can only get it at Japanese restaurants. I can see the future, every time there's a party, I'm gonna have to make. I don't much care for cooking up large batches of food nor do I enjoy making the same foods over and over again. Alas, it seems to be my fate. The good news about all of this is that in the future, when I dead and gone, the kids will think about the taste of this salad that their dad used to make. I believe that it will make them happy remembering. |

Add some seasonings that don't taste so good, include some odd ingredients, undercook the potatoes leaving them hard (lol)...on and on. Make it taste really bad then proudly bring it to the party. They won't ever ask you again. ![]() Your luck though, everyone might absolutely LOVE this mess, it will become a trend with the younger crowd, then you'll have to quit your day job and make it all the time for all "Rock" parties....maybe even go commercial someday to be sold all over the world. -------- The good news about all of this is that in the future, when I dead and gone, the kids will think about the taste of this salad that their dad used to make. I believe that it will make them happy remembering. -------- And that will happen with either scenario above. ![]() |

You have to salt the cucumber and I will tenderize the carrots by heating them up in the microwave. Make sure you squeeze the cucumber and carrots to get rid of excess water before mixing it in. The important part is to use Japanese mayo in this salad. This type of mayo is heavy in umami. Umami is what makes this different from regular potato salad. If you don't have any Japanese mayo just add a good amount of MSG. I'll also add some rice vinegar and a little wasabi to the salad to make it interesting. Good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDFsurou78w |
