Leave it to Kasugai, those purveyors of culinary delights, such as kiwi gummies and wasabi peas, to create a whole new taste experience: Pizza Beans.
Pizza Beans seem like a bad idea. A dichotomy exists between beans (healthy and nutritious) and pizza (delicious and lard-inducing) which seems too insurmountable to overcome. Kasugai already has [...]

There are several varieties of Japanese rice crackers, which have have been explained before, but the [...]
November kicks off the Eating Season with the biggest food-related holiday of the year: Thanksgiving. In honor of that belly busting, buckle-loosening, girth-widening day, I thought we could talk food, Japanese food that is.
