(Edit 11/01/2009: Further accusation of photoshopping. I’m way too lazy to do that… Here’s proof. Go here: http://www.kuro-hitsuji.com/en/contents.html and click on “Best Way to Enjoy” to see it in “normal” English. Now, go here: http://www.kuro-hitsuji.com/jp/contents.html and click on the same location – middle row, middle link – and you’ll see the same images as I posted here. I only wish my photoshopping skills were this good…)
(Edit 10/30/2009: Due to some reactions to this, I decided to add more info. This is in the Lazona Kawasaki shopping mall attached to Kawasaki Station just outside of Tokyo at a restaurant named “KuraKuro Hitsuji” or “Black Sheep”. No, it is not meant to be offensive. No, it’s not photoshopped… Really…)
Wasn’t planning on a post today but I ran into this after lunch today and I just had to share. It’s too damn…bizzare not to.
As I was leaving an okonomiyaki shop, next door was what we here in Japan call, a Genghiskhan restaurant. Yup. The same name as the general with the golden horde that took over most of Asia from mongolia. But this is one of those “cook your own meat” place but modeled after the saying that his men used to cook mutton on top of their shields. So you get a dome of oiled steel to cook your meat on. Really really tasty stuff.
But recently the restaurant put up a gigantic poster that covers their entire front window that shows how to cook the meat in Japanese and English. Now…the Japanese is standard normal every day Japanese. But the English… Oh the English. I have to guess that they did this on purpose. And whoever did this did a pretty good job with just one weird part. You have to see this.

Click on the link to see the closeups!!
It starts off with an intro…

Now you gotta get the grill hot!

Start cooking the meat.

But don’t get distracted!!

Gotta get some veggies too.

And just like Chinese food…you just start getting a craving again

…so…awesome!!
