And fortunately, Burger King did not disappoint! Behold the Kuro Burger, with a bun chock full o’ bamboo charcoal and ketchup made from squid ink! I was poised to snark, but…yes please, I think I’ll have another!

Only In Japan 
Aghhh, I didnt write those in my list of things to try and now I’m home! Drat, will have to return……BTW, the collagen drink testing is finished. I wasnt totally convinced with its anti-aging skills, but it did something.
Really? You think it had an effect? I’ll head over to your blog and check out your results!
And were you in Japan recently?!
Flew back yesterday, that’s why my blog has been Japanese all month. And yes, it did something – albeit far from a miracle. Oh, and thanks for your Odeo onsen etiquette guide – it helped me pluck up the courage to go so check back in a few days too and you’ll get another plug
Wow, is my face red! This month I’ve been on pleasure blog moratorium because I have a looming book deadline, so I hadn’t seen your fantastic posts on Japanese stuff, nor the much-appreciated link to my blog! Many thanks, and I’m honored to be mentioned by someone whose blog I enjoy as much as I enjoy yours! (I did lift the ban to peek at your latest posts and of course got zero kanji studying in on my 30 minute train ride once I’d taken the plunge. >_< Was fascinated by your comments on the Nocebo effect and on sheet face masks, which I've never tried but will certainly begin to sample now!)
