Few years back, I've learned a little bit of Japanese language and during the time I could speak a little Japanese but now I just remember a few basic words. It was a long time ago and without speaking and hearing the language, it can dissappear and forgotten as quickly as it came.
I like Japanese language even though I'm not a fan of Japanese food but in some dishes, Japanese food was really good. The reason I don't eat much of Japanese food because I don't like raw food like seafood and meat. I don't mind fish as long as the meat is well cooked or fried. Simple Japanese style salad can be good and perfect for appetizer or as a side dish. These cucumber and cabbage salad was so easy to prepare and the most important thing, they are fresh and healthy.
